Valentine’s Day Protein Reese’s
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS
This recipe hits the sweet spot between indulgence and intention.
You still get rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and festive flair, but with ingredients that support satiety and protein intake.
It’s a great reminder that progress doesn’t require restriction, just smarter swaps and portion-friendly treats.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Natural sprinkles (optional, for topping)
DIRECTIONS
Line a plate with parchment paper, making sure it will fit in your freezer.
Add peanut butter and protein powder to a bowl and mix well. Depending on the protein powder, add a small amount of water (1 tablespoon at a time) until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Roll dough into balls, place on the parchment-lined plate, and gently flatten. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Cut out heart shapes using a cookie cutter (or shape by hand) and return to the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, or melt on the stovetop.
Dip each heart into melted chocolate and place on a clean parchment-lined plate. Add sprinkles if desired.
Freeze for another 1–2 hours until set. Store in the freezer and enjoy!
PRO TIPS
Use a protein powder you enjoy the taste of since it’s a main flavor driver.
If the mixture feels dry or crumbly, add liquid slowly. A little goes a long way.
Store these in the freezer for a firmer, classic Reese’s-style bite.
Swap heart shapes for rounds if you want to enjoy these year-round.
