Ingredients

  • 1 (5.6oz) individual vegan yogurt cup *I suggest vanilla and no added sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter Fit powder *Replace with 1 tsp peanut butter if needed
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cacao powder
  • 6-8 Simple Mills Chocolate Wafer cookies

Instructions

  • *You can either transfer the yogurt to a larger container, like a mason jar, or use the yogurt in the cup. Carefully stir the cacao powder, PB Fit powder, and maple syrup one at a time into the yogurt.
  • Gently press 6-8 chocolate wafers into the top of the mixed yogurt until they are pressed all the way in. *You may need to remove a tablespoon or so of the yogurt to fit the wafers in.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the fridge for at least four hours, ideally overnight.

Notes

Storage:
The yogurt cup can sit in the fridge for up to three days. Do not freeze.
Tips and Modifications:
For an extra treat, drizzle peanut butter over the top or sprinkle with vegan chocolate chips before serving for even more chocolate peanut butter flavor.
Feel free to swap the chocolate wafers for graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or your favorite healthier cookie to make this recipe your own.
This viral Japanese cheesecake is perfect for meal prep. Make a few jars at once and store them in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go breakfast or high-protein snack.
If you want to boost the protein even more, mix a scoop of vegan protein powder into the yogurt before assembling.
