Desserts High In Protein

Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up dessert—especially when it’s packed with protein.

As a Certified Nutrition Coach (and lifelong chocolate lover), I’m here to tell you: you can absolutely enjoy sweet treats and hit your protein goals.

These high-protein dessert recipes are quick, simple, and designed to fuel your body, not just your cravings. They're all dairy-free and gluten-free but packed with your favorite flavors.

From cookies to mousse to frozen treats, each one sneaks in a boost of protein to help you stay full, energized, and satisfied.

Before diving in, check out my tips on choosing a quality protein powder for baking. (Spoiler: I’m a big fan of collagen powder as it blends easily, adds 10g of protein, and doesn’t change the texture.)
