I wanted to share what I’ve been making lately that makes me so happy. I love peanut butter and chocolate chips together. Usually, I just eat peanut butter out of the jar with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. This can be dangerous, to my waistline that is! I thought of a New Years Resolution minded way to enjoy my sinful indulgence with less guilt; mix those two ingredients with something that is healthy and filling – Greek yogurt! This totally does it for me. I eat way less peanut butter when I make it like this and my kids love it! Oh my goodness it’s so good!
Ingredients
1 small container of plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp nut butter (I used peanut butter)
1 tbsp sweetener (like maple syrup or honey)
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life)
Directions
Combine the Greek Yogurt with the nut butter, sweetener, vanilla and sea salt. Mix until smooth.
Top with Mini Chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Thanks Megan! Thank you for hosting!
What a brilliant idea! Can’t wait to try it. Fage 2% happens to be my favorite Greek yogurt, too
Hi Nicole,
Fage 2% ROCKS. Makes all the difference with the fat left in it. Thanks for stopping by!
Try Powdered Peanut Butter – no fat! All the PB flavor!
Thanks Karen for stopping by and your recommendation. Although, I don’t eat PB2 because peanut butter without fat is not a whole food and does not satisfy me. Being satisfied is more important then counting calories and eating low carb/low fat diet.
Are you using plain greek yogurt? Or vanilla?
Hi Lindsay, I used plain 2%. I think vanilla would work, just skip adding the vanilla and add less sweetener.
I tried this with vanilla greek yogurt (the Dannon kind, to be exact) and the vanilla already in the yogurt was too tangy with the peanut butter. I think plain would be better so you can taste the peanut butter more, but that’s just my taste!
Thanks Terra for letting us know!
I think your right. I think plain fage 2% would work best.
Now I really want to try this. But without the peanut butter. Because while I love peanut butter (only JIF and Skippy though, unfortunately, since they are super processed) I hate peanut butter in things. Mostly I just want an excuse to eat chocolate chips LOL
Hi Rachel, if you don’t want to use peanut butter try using sunflower butter from TJ’s or a fresh almond butter.TJ’s almond butter doesn’t taste fresh though. I know what you mean about the PB. The added plam oil helps the shelf life and thats why it may have a better taste. You could try making it fresh and see what you think.
using cashew butter also helps to create that cookie dough taste when mixed into recipes like this.

I just made this today and everybody I’ve talked to starts with “You HAVE to try this!” Delicious!!! Discovered your blog through pinterest and I’m so glad I did! Thank you!
So happy to hear! Thats Chelsey for sharing your thoughts and so glad you liked it!
This looks delicious! But does it actually taste like cookie dough? I’m not the biggest PB fan
I think it does!
Try another nut butter if your not a fan of PB. Let me know what you try and what you think.
I finally tried this recipe WITH peanut butter and loved it! Tasted like delicious cookie dough. Thanks so much!
I just made this and it is awesome! It is totally feeding my cookie dough craving! I didn’t have any chocolate chips but I did have cocoa powder and it is delicious! And cocoa powder doesn’t have any sugar! Bonus!
I have to try cocoa powder! Thats a really good idea! Less sugar is better!

i get dissappointed reading reviews that tell the person how wonderful their photos and ideas are but saying nothing about whether a recipe was tried and the thoughts on that recipe, so here goes!, I tried (am trying) it and its very satisfying. I was skeptical but it is. I only did half of it and used 0% fage, almond butter and the rest stayed the same. So thank you for the idea for the treat!
Omg yum!! Thank you for this recipe!
Wow – just saw this on Six Sisters and it totally caught my eye. If only I had some plain greek yogurt right now, I would totally get up and make this!
I did this using Chobani champions vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt with almond butter… delicious
Glad to hear it worked with Chobani!
This sounds yummy… Any idea of nutrition info? Calories, fat, sugar?

Found this on pinterest and made it tonight. Fantastic! I used natural peanut butter from Earthfare and honey with small chocolate chips and the 2% fage. I even dipped some apples in it. Very satisfying. Thanks so much!
Hi! I normally don’t comment on things, but this deserved a HUGE thank you! I love yogurt and so does my family. This variation was bowl-licking-worthy for my four year old AND two year old (and myself). We all just kept saying, MMMMMM-MMMMMMM! This could easily satisfy any sweet tooth! Thanks for sharing this!
Saw this on pinterest today, and I decided to make it. I think this was the most delicious Greek yogurt I have ever made in my life. Oh my gosh!

Excited to try this!
Somebody was wondering about calories. Here’s the breakdown:
1 5.3 oz container 2% plain greek yogurt – 140 cal.
1 TBSP peanut butter – 94 cal.
1 TBSP honey – 64 cal.
1 TBSP mini chocolate chips – 70 cal.
TOTAL – 368 cal.
So delicious! I added cocoa powder, frozen banana chunks, and dry cereal to add some texture! Awesome breakfast or snack idea!

Holy Cow such a great idea! Also i just did it…. SO good! i am always looking for new healthy ways to get my Cookie Dough Fix, with out the gorging myself on it!!! Thank you!!!
I just came across this cookie dough greek yogurt recipe on pinterest and gave it a try- amazing!! I also added a teaspoon of brown sugar to give it extra cookie taste- yup!
So happy to hear you liked it. Using maple syrup would give it that rich flavor or using a little molasses.
thanks for this great idea! i doubled the pb and omitted the salt. Also, it’s good to have with a banana, baked at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. The banana gets all caramelized and soft and much sweeter.
Sounds Yummy!
Hmmmm does it really taste like cookie dough or just look like it? I need to know what to expect or else I’ll be disappointed! And I don’t wanna waste a Greek yogurt
Hi Brista! It does to me. But then again I make cookies with almond and coconut flour.
WOAW- this looks absolutely amazing!
What a cool idea! I practically live off of Fage 2% greek yogurt, so I will definitely have to try this! Just found your blog through Whole New Mom and am so happy I did!
Hi Lauren! So happy you found my blog. I found yours after you posted pumpkin fudge.
I can’t wait to try your soaked oatmeal pancakes!

That sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it! Though the sugar levels in Greek yogurt are pretty high so maybe grab a yogurt that is honey flavored!
I would love to have this just without the sugar. Looks and sounds really yummie.
Although this was pretty good, it did not taste like cookie dough at all.
This recipe looks delish. Lately, I’ve been making my own chocolate yogurt with Greek yogurt. I just add cocoa, organic sugar and milk. It’s my own little bowl of chocolate bliss.
I’m eating this as I type.. Unfortunately this prevents me from shoveling fast enough. Perfect recipe! I looooooooooooove it!
I’m definitely planning on taking it for my afternoon snack at school. Thanks for sharing

Thank you, thank you, thank you! From the bottom of my heart! My husband and I are trying the insanity workout and are on a strict diet and this recipe completely satisfied my sweet tooth! I did alter the recipe a bit because I used what I had on hand, which was Chobani fat free Greek yogurt, and Marathon almond butter creamy, was out of vanilla and did not use honey, but added about 16 Ghiradelli milk Choc chips because the fat was less in them than the 60%cocoa ….thank you for sharing this recipe and making my day, I never would have thought yogurt could be such a delicious dessert!

I decided to treat myself and made this for breakfast this morning, on my it’s delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe
I made this tonight and it was probably the most amazing dessert I’ve eaten in ages! Can’t get enough of it! I made it with the Trader Joe’s cookie butter (didn’t have the time/ingredients to make your version but I’m definitely going to try sometime soon) and it was just killer!
Thanks for sharing this! I made it for breakfast this morning and it was nice and tasty

How many ounces is the small container? I have a large tub… not sure how to convert measurements without knowing the oz of the yogurt…
Hi Carrie, it’s 7 ounces.

I’m so making this… right now! Thanks!
I was not a fan – the yogurt taste came in too strong, and it tasted just like a peanut butter yogurt. I’m not a huge fan of how yogurt tastes (though I do enjoy Chobani flavors) – I made it with honey and ample peanut butter (one tablespoon was not enough).
This would be good for someone who likes yogurt a lot and only likes cookie dough a little – it’s not bad, but did not reach the expectations I had of it.
Yes, you have to like Greek yogurt to like this recipe. You might like this recipe for cookie dough.
Can you freeze this after you mix ingredients to enjoy later on??
