This collection of 20 High-Protein Desserts was created for those moments when you want something sweet… but also something that truly satisfies you.

As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, I’ve always believed dessert should feel good, not heavy ant not overly sweet. These recipes are my favorite balance between indulgent and nourishing. They’re simple, approachable, and made with real ingredients you probably already have at home.

You’ll find creamy treats, baked goodies, and a few no-bake options that are perfect for busy days. Each dessert is naturally higher in protein, whether from Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts or eggs. They’re perfect after a workout, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or even as a smarter late-night snack.

What I love most about these desserts is that they don’t taste “healthy.” They taste like dessert, just more filling and satisfying.

Whether you’re trying to add more protein to your routine or simply want sweets that keep you full longer, this collection is here to make dessert feel both comforting and energizing. Because yes, you can absolutely have both.
