Protein Dirt Cups
These high protein dirt cups (that actually are high protein - 45g!!) are an amazing alternative to the sugar filled version and still taste like a decadent dream.
These are no fuss (I’ve embraced the fact that I’m not a “cutesy” mom/food blogger…you’re just going to find EASY and practical meals here!), high in protein, lower in carbs, no added sugar, and just truly out of this world. If you need an easy Easter dessert or a treat for yourself, this is it.
Make sure to see the notes for protein powder suggestions/discounts as well as recipe modifications.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Blend your cereal or cookies until finely ground. Set aside.
- Blend the rest of the ingredients together until smooth.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture in your glass or jar and top with the crushed cereal/cookies (you can also layer it like I did here in the photo).
- Can eat right away, or set in fridge for 1-2 hours to thicken.
Notes
I added an optional addition of monk fruit or maple syrup if you think this needs to be sweeter - I personally did not need it, but wanted to put it there in case you feel they needed to be sweeter. ♥️ My favorite chocolate protein powders: Just Ingredients (JOYFUL saves $), The Peachie Spoon (JOYFUL12 saves $) or plant based option - Nuzest (SAGEANDCELERY saves $).
