Creamy and cozy Gingerbread Protein Bowl with 40g Protein! This gingersnap yogurt bowl is sweetened with protein powder and has a hint of molasses and all the ginger bread spices too.

I’d made a malted chocolate protein bowl on my Instagram with a magic shell topping, and a lot of people seemed to like it. So I took that concept and made something a little festive. Used ginger thin cookies as a “shell” and put in those gingerbread flavors to make this high protein bowl.

It really was beautiful! A smooth and creamy dessert, snack or post-workout treat you’re going to want on repeat. And so easy too!

Ingredients for this Gingerbread Protein Bowl:

This Gingerbread Protein Bowl recipe is made with pantry staple ingredients that you mix in a bowl – an easy and healthy snack or dessert!

  • Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • Vanilla Protein Powder – This is the source of protein and most of the sweetness in the gingerbread protein bowl; I use the one from Flex.
    Quest Nutrition Vanilla would be another option.
  • Molasses: I used the organic molasses from Wholesome
  • Ginger, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cloves
  • Ginger Thin Cookie- I used the one from Trader Joe’s
