FAQs for Dark Chocolate Protein Raspberry Clusters
Each cluster has roughly 6–7 grams of protein, depending on the brand of protein powder used. For this recipe, I used Mud/Wtr Vanilla Protein Powder, which gives each serving a nice protein boost without a chalky flavor.
Absolutely! Just swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond) and use a dairy-free protein powder and dairy-free dark chocolate chips. They’ll taste just as creamy and indulgent.
Yes! These work beautifully with strawberries, blueberries, or even chopped cherries. Just make sure the fruit isn’t too watery — pat dry before mixing for the best texture.
Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. They taste best slightly thawed, so let them sit out for about 5 minutes before eating.
You can! If you don’t need the extra protein, simply mix the raspberries and yogurt as-is. The clusters will still be creamy and delicious — just with a lighter texture.
Make sure your clusters are fully frozen before dipping. Also, adding a little coconut oil to your melted chocolate helps it coat smoothly and prevents cracking when frozen.
Yes! These are perfect for meal prep. Make a batch, store in the freezer, and grab one or two whenever you need a quick snack, dessert, or protein boost.
