The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff
If you are on a health journey or just trying to shed a few pounds, I have a wonderful dessert for you! This is The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff and you are going to love it!
This might be the simplest of our meal prep series and is one of my dad’s favorites. With minimal prep time, you will be tempted to make this one every week. Whipped topping is combined with cookies and cream instant pudding mix and chocolate protein powder to make the most delicious and fluffiest pudding. A few crushed Oreo thins give a nice crunch and you are all set!
You can put it into individual containers to last all week or place it back into the whipped topping container and just get a scoop when the craving hits!
Sharing is caring!
As you know my dad and I started meal prepping in January. On our weekly meal plans, I usually do at least 2 breakfast options, 2 lunch options, and 3 dinner options. I also do snacks and I make sure there is one dessert lined up for the week. We have tried so many new foods and combinations and almost everything has been spectacular. But my dad has certainly found a favorite. This Oreo fluff is it! It’s his current obsession. (HA)
If you want to know why my dad loves it so much, it’s because it doesn’t taste like a healthy dessert. For example, zero-sugar whipped topping is a wonderful swap for regular whipped topping. The great thing about it is that you can’t taste the difference and you are saved the extra sugar and calories. I love swaps like this! They make eating healthier so much easier and a no-brainer for sure! And it’s just another reason why this perfect healthy dessert keeps making its way onto our weekly menu.
It’s also incredibly important that we find ways to keep all of our meals and snacks packed full of protein. This dessert is a great way to sneak in some protein powder in a way that you can’t even taste. Although it’s not tons of protein, if you find places to pack extra protein in all your meals throughout the week, you’ll be surprised at how big of a difference it makes by the end.
Be Sure To Pin It For Later!
The truth is that I don’t have the biggest sweet tooth. I’m the person who would rather have two entrees than ever order dessert. But I also realize that the moment that you are trying to eat better, cravings seem to hit. You may never want dessert and all of a sudden you need a chocolate fix. (It’s so odd how that happens. And certainly shows that there are some mental aspects to eating better.)
So we must make room for something sweet during the week that we have already planned for and have control over. (Because dessert is where we can get into trouble. Traditional desserts are high in sugar and low in protein.) The entire batch of this creamy fluff is astonishingly low in calories and high in protein compared to other traditional sweets.
Tips for The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff:
- Let the whipped topping sit out on the counter and come to room temperature so that it can be mixed more easily.
- Save the whipped topping container to store this great dessert in the fridge. There’s no need to mess up any more dishes!
Let’s make The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff together on YouTube!
The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff Ingredients:
- 1 carton of zero-sugar whipped topping (This is a great low-calorie swap.)
- 1 Jello chocolate pudding cup
- 1/2 package (2.1 oz.) Oreo Cookies ‘n Creme instant pudding mix
- 6 Oreo thins crushed (You can use a small food processor or you can just crush them by hand.)
- 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff Instructions:
- First, in a mixing bowl combine the whipped topping, chocolate pudding cup, pudding mix, and protein powder and mix well.
- Second, fold in the crushed Oreo thins to make sure that every bite has a nice crunch.
- Finally, scoop into individual containers for the week!
Variations for The Best Low-Calorie Chocolate Protein Oreo Fluff:
- You can substitute the Jello chocolate pudding cup for Greek yogurt and get even more protein.
- You can change the flavor combinations of this protein fluff recipe.
- Vanilla Protein Fluff – Substitute vanilla pudding cups, vanilla protein powder, vanilla instant pudding mix, and vanilla cookies.
- Strawberry Protein Fluff – Substitute vanilla pudding cups, strawberry protein powder, strawberry instant pudding mix, and strawberry wafers. (That would be a nice texture change.)
- Peanut Butter Protein Fluff – Substitute vanilla pudding cups, peanut butter powder, vanilla instant pudding mix, and Nutter Butters.
- Banana Pudding Protein Fluff – Substitute vanilla pudding cups, vanilla protein powder, banana instant pudding mix, and sliced banana and vanilla wafers.
You can always add your favorite fruit and favorite toppings to the fluff to make it feel a little bit fresher and lighter.
- Mixed berries, strawberries, pineapple, banana, blueberries, and even mango can be worked into this fluffy protein pudding. (Another secret is to use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit requires quite a bit more chewing so it’s the best hack for working fruit into your meal plan but not using a ton of it.)
- To keep this a low-calorie snack/dessert, I would make sure to use zero-sugar pudding mixes in the different flavor combinations above.
- If you aren’t concerned about the calories/sugar in the whipped topping, you can opt for the fluffy texture of the extra creamy whipped topping. It’s going to add another level of decadence.
