Chocolate peanut butter. Need I say more? Seriously, though, this flavor combination is hands-down one of my all-time favorites, which is why I’m always experimenting with recipes that include it.
And this chocolate peanut butter protein dip is no exception. It’s thick, creamy, full of protein, and 100% satisfying. Protein has many benefits, and this snack is packed with it, much like this copycat perfect bar recipe I created, which is delicious and macro friendly!
So, if you’re looking for a sweet treat to satisfy your cravings while also helping you reach your protein target, this recipe is going to quickly become one of your go-to’s.
3 Benefits of Making This Recipe
There are many reasons why this recipe is the bee's knees, but let’s highlight my top three.
- First, it contains 28g of protein per serving! A great way to hit your protein goals if you track macros like I do.
- Second, it tastes like a thick, creamy, chocolatey mouse that you would swear is loaded with extra calories.
- And thirdly, it takes less than 5 minutes to whip up. Can't get any easier than that!
Protein Powder Used
I used Clean Simple Eats – Chocolate Brownie Batter Flavor.
Why I used it: It has 20g of protein per serving and only 110 calories. Clean Simple Eats is a brand that I trust as they have rigorous third-party testing in place and they use clean ingredients. This protein powder has been proven over time for me as one of the best for mixing and creating recipes.

What Makes It Macro Friendly?
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Dip is macro-friendly because it strikes the perfect balance of protein, carbs, and fats, making it a great snack for those tracking macros:
