Why This Recipe Works
High in protein and easy to prep ahead, these frozen s’mores reinvent a classic childhood favorite into a fitness-friendly dessert. They’re ideal for summer snacks, meal prep, or anytime you want something cold, sweet, and macro-conscious.
Ingredients
32 digestive cookies or graham crackers (16 sandwiches)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tub light Cool Whip (thawed)
3 scoops vanilla protein powder (approximately 120 grams)
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Prepare the base layer
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out half of the cookies or crackers on the tray.
3. Coat with chocolate
Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on each cracker. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
4. Make the protein filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip and protein powder. Stir until well blended and smooth. The mixture should resemble a thick, fluffy filling.
5. Assemble the sandwiches
Spoon a layer of the protein filling onto each chocolate-covered cracker. Top with a second plain cracker to form a sandwich.
6. Optional: Add a chocolate edge
Dip the edges of the assembled sandwiches in remaining melted chocolate for an extra touch of decadence.
7. Freeze until set
Return the sandwiches to the baking sheet and freeze for at least one hour, or until firm.
Storage
Store the frozen protein s’mores in an airtight container in the freezer. They’ll keep well for up to two weeks and are ready to enjoy whenever the cravings strike.
Pro Tips
Swap in chocolate or marshmallow-flavored protein powder for a different twist.
Use sugar-free Cool Whip or low-carb crackers to modify macros.
Add a layer of peanut butter or crushed nuts to the filling for added richness and crunch.
