Notes

I like using whey protein powder in this recipe because it gives the yogurt a creamy texture. However, you can use plant-based protein powder if you prefer. Just be sure to use a protein powder that you like the taste of because you will taste it in this dish.
To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, make sure to mix the yogurt and cocoa powder thoroughly to avoid cocoa powder lumps (I like to use a whisk). You can also beat it with a hand mixer to get a whipped consistency.
This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Make a large batch of the chocolate yogurt and store it in the fridge. Then enjoy it throughout the week for a quick and healthy breakfast, snack or dessert and top it with your favorite toppings.
Depending on how sweet the chocolate protein powder is, you may need to add a bit of sweetener like maple syrup, honey, or Stevia.
