1. Edible Protein Cookie Dough (No-Bake)
Q: How do I make safe-to-eat protein cookie dough that isn't dry?
A: Skip raw flour. Base the dough on PEScience Select and PB2, loosen with almond milk, and fold in sugar-free chocolate chips. About 38g protein per bowl, no baking.
Edible cookie dough is a viral high-protein dessert — but raw flour is not safe to eat and straight protein powder goes dry and chalky. Our version uses PEScience Select plus PB2 for a peanut-buttery, scoopable dough, loosened with almond milk.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop PEScience Select (Cake Pop or Cookies & Cream)
- 4 tbsp PB2 powdered peanut butter
- 3-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (add slowly)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Select protein, PB2 and salt in a bowl.
- Add almond milk 1 tbsp at a time, stirring, until a thick cookie-dough texture forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill 10 minutes for a firmer dough, or eat right away with a spoon.

2. Caramel Cheesecake Cottage Cheese Bowl
Q: How do people make cottage cheese taste like cheesecake?
A: Blend cottage cheese smooth, sweeten with a little Select protein, swirl in SANA no-added-sugar caramel spread, and crush an Applied wafer bar on top. About 39g protein.
Blended cottage cheese is the internet's favorite high-protein base right now — whipped smooth, it tastes like cheesecake filling. We sweeten it with a half scoop of PEScience Select, swirl in SANA no-added-sugar caramel spread, and crush an Applied Nutrition Protein Wafer Bar on top for crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 scoop PEScience Select (Vanilla or Cake Pop)
- 1 tbsp SANA No Added Sugar Caramel Spread
- 1 Applied Nutrition Protein Wafer Bar, crushed
- Optional: cinnamon
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese and Select protein until completely smooth (a small blender or immersion blender works).
- Spoon into a bowl and swirl the caramel spread through it.
- Crush the wafer bar over the top for crunch.
- Dust with cinnamon if desired and eat immediately.

3. High-Protein French Toast
Q: How do I boost the protein in French toast without a weird texture?
A: Whisk an Applied Nutrition Protein Shot into the egg custard instead of milk. The soak stays smooth and you add 25g protein across the batch — about 45g protein per serving.
French toast is usually all carbs. Swapping the milk in the custard for a zero-sugar Applied Nutrition Protein Shot keeps the soak silky while adding 25g of protein — no gritty powder in the batter.
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 1 Applied Nutrition Protein Shot (Orange Burst or a neutral flavor)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Cooking spray
- Optional: sugar-free syrup
Instructions
- Whisk the egg, egg whites, protein shot and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Soak each bread slice 20 seconds per side.
- Cook on a greased non-stick pan over medium heat ~3 minutes per side until golden.
- Serve with sugar-free syrup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is protein cookie dough actually safe to eat raw?
Yes, because it contains no raw flour or raw egg — just protein powder, PB2, milk and chocolate chips.
What cottage cheese is best for blending?
Use 1-2% fat cottage cheese. Blend it fully smooth so there is no curd texture — that is what makes it taste like cheesecake.
Can I make the French toast dairy-free?
Yes — the protein shot replaces the milk entirely, so the custard is already dairy-light. Use a dairy-free bread to complete it.
Which of these travels well?
The cookie dough and cottage cheese bowl are great meal-prep snacks; keep them cold. French toast is best fresh but reheats in a toaster.
