High-Protein PB&J Cookie Dough? Say Less

Fast, fun, and fridge-friendly 🥜🍇

If you grew up on peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, this one’s for you. These PB&J Cookie Dough Bites are soft, sweet, and protein-packed—and the best part? No baking required. They taste like your childhood… but now with macros.

Add in freeze-dried strawberries and a cookie dough texture, and you’ve got a snack that feels like dessert but works with your goals. These PB&J Cookie Dough Bites are quick, satisfying, and way more exciting than another plain rice cake or scoop of cottage cheese.

The freeze-dried strawberries bring that jelly flavor without the extra sugar, and the Max Effort Protein adds the fuel. I love keeping a batch in the fridge for snack emergencies—which, let’s be real, happen at least once a day.
