Greek Yogurt + PB2: What to Know
• High in Protein: Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, making it thicker and naturally rich in protein.
• PB2 Boosts It Further: Powdered peanut butter like PB2 adds even more protein—without the fat and sugar of regular peanut butter.
• Easy to Mix: PB2 is a light powder that blends smoothly into yogurt with no clumps.
• Where to Find It: Look for PB2, PBfit, or store brands at Target, Walmart, online (paid link), or in the bulk bins near nut butters.
Tips That Make a Difference
- Use a non-fat Greek yogurt for fewer calories.
- Add a scoop of protein powder for even more protein.
- Stir in a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Top with chopped Reese’s (paid link) for a dessert-worthy snack.

Well, this is totally to-die for. I couldn’t wait to have it for dessert so I made it for breakfast. I sprinkled 1/2 Tbsp of sliced almonds for crunch and omitted the chocolate bits, because, you know, it was breakfast after all. My new favorite. Love the healthy dose of protein in it.
Thanks, Elizabeth. I appreciate you taking the time to tell us your variation. Enjoy!
Could I add chocolate protein powder to the recipe too? Would a little almond milk be needed?
Hi Lisa,
I haven’t tried this but I’m sure this would work if you don’t mind the flavor of protein powder. Enjoy!
As a diabetic, I am always looking for healthy recipes. I love this one. Omitted chopped chocolate and sugar, added salted caramel skinny syrup to taste…to die for yummy ?
Hi Karen,
Oh my! Your modifications sound absolutely yummy. Thank you for writing and adding to the conversation.
I have always loved plain Greek yogurt, sometimes I eat the yogurt as is but mostly I add my own fruit, honey etc for flavouring.
recently I bought a big jar of dry peanut butter & looking for ways to use it I found & tried this recipe of yours minus sweetener & vanilla then topped with stem ginger cookies it was yummy
Hi Sharon,
Lots of Greek yogurt lovers have fun with this recipe. Your version sounds delicious! Thank you for the 5-star rating.
Sorry. This didn’t work for me. I made it as directed with the sweetener and without the 85% chocolate. It was much too tart. I doctored it by nearly adding 4x as much PB2 and sweetener (and I don’t tend to like things overly sweet, but it was needed to get past the tartness from the yogurt). I doubled the cocoa and vanilla. As another commenter suggested, a pinch of salt helped to boosted the flavour of the PB. It became palatable, but I’ll be looking for another recipe for my PB2.
Thanks for your feedback, Jonah.
*** Update. I’ve upped my review to 3 stars (from 1) as it ended up tasting pretty good, but needs a lot of modifications for my liking. After my modifications, I froze it to make ice cream using my Creami and the icecream result was rather good. So I think I’ve found a recipe with Greek yogurt, PB2 and chocolate that is pretty tasty. Thanks!
I thought it was awful – and I love yogurt. Smelled like burnt peanuts and tasted worse than it smelled. But I am new to the PB2 scene. Trying to find a few recipes that I actually enjoy.
Hi AMC, PB2 It may be an acquired taste. The yogurt you use plays a big part in this recipe.
Had one carton of plain Greek yogurt in the fridge, and got my PB powder in the mail today, so I was eager to try this. Ended up adding a little extra pb powder, skipping the chocolate shavings and added nut granola. Delish – and a great afternoon snack.
Nut granola? I’m in. Granola is the best topper for any yogurt.
Hi, Paula. Thank you for resending the link for the PB2 Recipe for Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt. One question…could I substitute real peanut butter for the PB2? If so, how much would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
Laurie
Hi Laurie,
Real peanut butter is difficult to stir into yogurt. Try it and see what you think. I prefer the texture of the PB2 since it’s easy to make it silky smooth without destroying the thick texture of my yogurt.
I have a scientific way of adding anything to my yogurt. One spoonful, taste. Another spoonful, taste, and so on until it’s perfect.
I can not wait to make this! Thank you!
Hi Bella,
Be sure to let me know how you like it.
Great recipe and great comments. Since I have been looking for a new tasty vehicle, I combined this with a couple of tbsp of nutritional yeast and a few drops of water. It was great. Thanks.
I like your additions. Thanks for sharing. It will surely give somebody else a good idea.
This is the perfect healthy treat. Very satisfying. I sprinkled coconut on top.
Yes, all that protein keeps one from getting hungry and wanting even more to eat. The coconut idea is brilliant!
I love peanut butter and I love this recipe. I cut everything in half so I have just one serving.
Thank you for this recipe! I have been making it without the chocolate for my dessert each night. I stick it in the freezer for about an hour and it is such a treat (reminds me of a Wendy’s Frosty). I am on WW Blue Plan and it is only 1 point made with nonfat Greek yogurt 🙂
Oh and I use maple syrup for the sweetener. It is so delicious.
Theresa,
I love your idea of sticking yogurt in the freezer for a short time. Brilliant. Trying it tonight. Of course, maple syrup is always a good idea. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hello, I have been a Fairlife chocolate milk fan for years. Never have enjoyed yogurt until I read your information about using chocolate milk. A friend gave me a yogurt maker and I successfully made Greek yogurt. Then I used Fairlife chocolate and it was wonderful. I make it every week.
Why do I have so much more when? And so much thicker liquid in the whey as well? I get beautiful yogurt (which I strain in a cut off stocking foot.) I add Smuckers all natural peanut butter, saving my chocolate peanut butter powder for regular yogurt.
Thank you for clear instructions.
Hi Diane,
Sounds like you are a woman after my own heart. Chocolate makes almost anything better. Thanks for writing and sharing your tips. Happy yogurt-eating!
Hello,
My name is Ivana Balentic and while going through your website I saw you mentioned our friends at 99Boulders (https://saladinajar.com/recipes/snacks/chocolate-peanut-butter-greek-yogurt/).
I’m curious is it possible to sponsor the mention of my blog?
All the best,
Ivana Balentic
Hi Ivana, thanks for the inquiry. I only do non-solicited mentions for now.
Awesome! I am craving by looking at the images I’ll give it a try.
Easy peasy! Think you’ll like it.
Thanks for the tip! I just bought a jar of PB2 and was going to use in in my homemade yogurt as well! Right now I have been using in in Smoothies, it’s delicious! And thank you I learned some great tips from you on making yogurt! You have a Beautiful Blog!
Like Karen, I’m not a fan of yogurt but a chocolate one like this one does look pretty darn tempting!
I think you could put peanut butter and chocolate on just about anything and it would be delicious. 🙂 I’ve had PB2 but not the chocolate version- it’s now on my grocery list though I know I’ll have to go into town to get it! I still haven’t made my own yogurt, but I’m going to try this with my store bought variety. Yum! 🙂
This is also my favorite new treat with a few additions. I use the regular PB2 (I didn’t know there was a chocolate version,) in lite vanilla greek yogurt. I do add the packet of sweetner, about 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract and instead of the chocolate shavings, I add a tablespoon of carob chips. One more addition – a sprinkling of sea salt…not much, but a sprinkle. I find yogurt to have a bit of a flat taste without it. For me, this is a real treat. I ate it at Thanksgiving instead of a piece of pumpkin pie! 🙂 Sometimes I strain the greek yogurt through a coffee filter if it’s a little looser in consistency than I want. Other brands are “stiff” enough.
This is my morning favorite (without the slivers of chocolate) and I dip my apple into it. Can’t wait to try the chocolate!
I think you just might make me a yogurt fan yet!
