Cookie Dough Greek Yogurt

Ever have a sweet craving and catch yourself grabbing the whole carton of ice cream? Everyone has been there before, and that’s why this quick cookie dough recipe is great — it gives you a little sweetness while filling up your body with protein and a little dark-chocolate goodness. Moderation can be a key principle to remember and follow when trying to categorize foods. Following three simple principles — moderation, variety and balance — one can implement a healthy lifestyle change.  

I enjoy this recipe as a night cap or after a workout since it is super quick to whip up while providing quality nutrition. I hope you enjoy it, too.
