Delicious Blue Cookies and Cream Protein Parfait with Whey Protein
Hey there, health-conscious friends! You like treats that do not break your healthy habits. I have a recipe that joins taste and food value: the Blue Cookies and Cream Protein Parfait. This parfait fills your sweet urge. It also gives good fuel for breakfast, snack time, or dessert.
Why You’ll Love This Parfait
Blueberries lead this dish. They bring vitamins and antioxidants that help your body and mind. They mix with smooth protein for a blend of soft and crunchy tastes. I use whey protein for a good health boost. It is plain and mixes well with the parfait without changing the sweet taste.
If you build muscle, recover after a workout, or need a filling snack, this parfait keeps your hunger low. It is very easy to make!
Ingredients (Makes 2 Servings)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 scoop Whey Protein
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup granola (choose a low-sugar type)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweet)
- A sprinkle of crushed cookies (like chocolate sandwich cookies) for the top
Instructions
-
Smash the fruit: in a bowl or glass, smash the berries, separating the juice from the fruit. (it doesn't have to be perfect)
-
Mix the Protein: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, the scoop of whey protein, and the juice from the smashed fruit. Stir until the mix is smooth. If you want extra sweet, add honey or syrup now.

Layer It Up: In a serving glass or bowl, add a layer of the yogurt-protein mix. Next, add a layer of blueberries. Then add a layer of granola.

Garnish: Sprinkle the crushed cookies on the top. This step gives you the cookies and cream feel.
