I Tried High Protein Desserts for 7 Days… Here’s What Happened
Why I Gave Up Sugar (But Not Dessert)
Chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters are the high protein dessert I decided to eat for 7 days to see what would happen.I’ll be honest: desserts were my weak spot.
Every time I tried to eat healthier, sugar cravings pulled me right back. Cakes, cookies, chocolate bars… you know the story.
So I decided to try something different.
For 7 full days, I replaced my usual sugary treats with high-protein desserts. No extreme dieting. No cutting desserts completely. Just smarter choices.
One recipe quickly became my favorite — Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters.
And what happened after those 7 days honestly surprised me.
I Tried High-Protein Desserts for 7 Days… Here’s What Happened
Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are a popular no-bake TikTok treat made with yogurt, fresh strawberries, and chocolate for a creamy, crunchy frozen snack. This high-protein option yields about 10 clusters, ideal as a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or flavored like vanilla/strawberry)
-
1 tbsp honey
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
-
Mix chopped strawberries, yogurt, honey, and vanilla in a bowl until combined.
-
Scoop 2-tbsp portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form 10 clusters.
-
Freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.
-
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between.
-
Dip frozen clusters in melted chocolate using a spoon, then return to sheet; optional sea salt sprinkle.
-
Freeze briefly until chocolate sets, then enjoy.
Nutrition
Each cluster has about 160 calories, 2g protein, with low refined sugar from wholesome ingredients like yogurt and fruit. Exact macros per cluster (based on recipe totals divided by 10): roughly 22g carbs (mostly from fruit/chocolate), 8g fat (from chocolate/oil), and 2-3g protein (from yogurt). Values vary by brands; Greek yogurt boosts protein.
Notes
Store in an airtight freezer container; thaw slightly before eating, avoid fridge to prevent melting. Dip in small batches to avoid thawing; use parchment to prevent sticking. Variations: swap strawberries for blueberries/raspberries, honey for maple syrup (vegan), or add nuts/chips. Common issues: ensure fully frozen before dipping, small clusters freeze faster.
