I shared a recipe for stuffed cupcakes recently which had this rich chocolate frosting on it, and a lot of people seemed very interested in it.

So here we are with a dedicated blog post for just that smooth luscious and chocolatey frosting!

Ingredients for this Chocolate Protein Frosting Recipe

This high protein chocolate spread actually made with just 3 ingredients – and water, but we don’t count that. No sugar, no butter, no buttercream, no cream cheese needed!

• Non Fat Greek Yogurt for an extra high protein frosting recipe, but any other yogurt will also work
• Chocolate Protein Powder – this is what replaces the sugar here. I recommend ProteinWorld Chocolate for this recipe to keep it sugar free.; Use the code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount.
  Quest chocolate protein powder is another option.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder

How to make a Chocolate Protein Powder Frosting:

Other than being simple in ingredients, this sugar free chocolate protein powder frosting recipe is super easy to make.

All you need to do is:

1. Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl, or just stir them together:
   Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder and a bit of milk or water.

Just make sure to add water a little at a time so you don’t end up with runny frosting.

And that really is everything!

Alternate Ingredients for Healthy Chocolate Frosting with Greek Yogurt

I made this healthy chocolate frosting a low sugar recipe using Greek yogurt and protein powder, but here’s some options you can try.

• Chocolate Protein Powder: Use vanilla (it won’t be as rich though)
• Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt
• Water: Milk

For Vegan Protein Powder Frosting Recipe:

To make a Vegan chocolate protein powder frosting recipe, use a coconut or almond yogurt instead of the greek yogurt.
Be sure to also use a plant based protein powder in this case. ProteinWorld has a Vegan protein blend (HAYLSKITCHEN for the discount here too) that would work well here.
