If you love a sweet treat but also want something that actually satisfies, this Greek Yogurt Protein Fudge is going to be your new favorite. It’s rich, chocolatey, and feels indulgent, yet it’s made with just two simple ingredients and packs a good amount of protein in every bite.
I especially love this recipe because a small square goes a long way. The protein helps keep you full longer, making it easier to enjoy a little chocolate without overdoing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
• How much protein does this fudge have? The protein mainly comes from the Greek yogurt. Exact amounts will vary based on the brand you use.
• Is this recipe low carb? It can be lower carb depending on the chocolate chips you choose. Sugar-free or low-sugar chocolate will reduce carbs.
