Meet your latest high-protein snack obsession: my Frozen Protein S’mores are a recipe made in heaven. They come together with a light and fluffy, protein-packed coconut whipped cream filling, layered in-between melted chocolate and creamy peanut butter, all sandwiched between two crispy graham crackers. This no-bake treat is the perfect set-it-and-forget it recipe that the whole family will love!
Friends, if you’re anything like me, then one of your goals for 2025 is to get in more protein. After all, protein is not only the building blocks of your muscles, but it also helps you stay fuller, longer, which means that you can ditch those afternoon hunger-pings. While I’m not someone who regularly counts calories or macros (and you can read more about why, here), the one macro that I do count is protein. Why is that? Once I started tracking my protein intake, and making more of an effort to get more in, I started to notice that I was feeling better, my skin was healthier, I was feeling more energized, and I was starting to see the results from my workouts. I mean truly, is there anything better than that?
So, when I found myself craving a healthy, protein-packed sweet treat the other night, i knew that I needed to get right into my kitchen and come up with the perfect recipe. The solution? These Frozen Protein S’mores.
Think of these like your classic s’mores, but made frozen and filled with a light and fluffy coco whip topping. Plus, once you later on the creamy chocolate layer and the sticky peanut butter (and a pinch of flaky sea salt, if you’re feeling fancy), it’s truly the recipe for a perfect bite. I love to prep a tray of these s’mores at the beginning of the week and enjoy them any time that I find myself craving a sweet treat!
What You Need to Make These High-Protein S’mores
- Coco Whip: If you’ve never had coco whip, it’s a coconut-based whipped cream
- Protein Powder: In order to make these s’mores high-protein, we’ll be mixing protein powder into the coco whip. The end result is so light and fluffy, you won’t even notice the protein powder! I recommend using either chocolate or vanilla-flavored protein powder, depending on what you have.
- Chocolate Chips: To make the chocolate layer, you’ll need melted chocolate chips. You can use dairy-free chocolate chips, sugar-free chocolate chips, or regular chocolate chips. Any of the above work just as well and taste delicious in this recipe!
- Coconut Oil: A little coconut oil combines with the chocolate chips for melted, spreadable, creamy chocolate.
- Natural Peanut Butter: Natural, creamy peanut butter not only adds protein to these s’mores, but also packs this recipe full of plant-based fiber and fats. I recommend using creamy peanut butter so that it’s the easiest to spread!
- Graham Crackers: Of course, it wouldn’t be s’mores without the graham crackers! You can use regular graham crackers or gluten-free graham crackers. As always, I recommend using what you already have!
- Flaky Sea Salt: This is optional, but I love garnishing these s’mores with a pinch of flaky salt for the perfect salty-sweet flavor.
How to Make This Protein-Packed Sweet Treat
To make these s’mores, start by lining an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper. Add one layer of graham crackers to the bottom of the baking dish, ensuring that the bottom of the dish is as covered as possible. Next, set the baking dish aside while you prepare the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small, microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 2-3, 30 second increments, until smooth. You can also melt the chocolate on the stove, using the double-boiler method.
Once the chocolate has melted, pour half of it on top of the graham crackers, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Then, transfer the tray into the freezer and allow the chocolate to set for 10 minutes.
While the chocolate is setting, prepare the filling by mixing the coco whip and protein powder together, in a large bowl, until smooth, creamy, and no protein powder clumps remain.
Remove the tray from the freezer, then add the coco whip on top of the chocolate, in one even layer. Then, spread the peanut butter in another layer across the top. Add the rest of the chocolate in another layer across the top. Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt across the top of the chocolate layer, if you desire.
Then, place the graham crackers on top of the chocolate layer, gently pressing them down until all of the layers are sandwiched together. Transfer the s’mores back into the freezer for a minimum of one hour, until the chocolate and peanut butter layers have fully set. Once they’re done, remove them from the freezer, slice into squares, and enjoy!
