1-Point Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
🍪 1-Point Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies are proof that healthy treats don’t have to taste “healthy.” They’re soft, chocolatey, naturally satisfying, and best of all—just 1 Point each. Perfect for when a chocolate craving hits but you still want to stay on track.
The secret? A simple swap that makes a huge difference. Instead of using milk chocolate chips (which would add 5 points), I replaced them with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (just 1 point total). The result is a deep, rich chocolate flavor without blowing your daily points budget.
This is one of those recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again—for meal prep, late-night cravings, or a quick protein boost with coffee.
🛒 Ingredients
(Exact measurements depend on your base recipe, but highlight the key swap)
- Peanut butter (PB powder or reduced-fat works great)
- Protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – 1 tbsp (1 point total)
- Sweetener of choice
- Egg or egg whites

👉 Smart Swap:
Instead of milk chocolate chips (5 points), use 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor at a fraction of the points.
