I had not initially planned to include these in the vegan Thanksgiving recipe round up, but traffic to this vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe has increased tenfold in the past week.

So it seems a large number of people do bake chocolate chip cookies for Thanksgiving.

Actually, maybe this makes perfect sense. After all, who isn’t thankful for soft, chewy homemade chocolate chip cookies hot from the oven?

Do you have any favorite healthy meatless or vegan Thanksgiving recipes that you make every year? Or any new vegan recipes you’ve been meaning to try?

Easy Chocolate Protein Dessert Recipes

Black Bean Brownies

These black bean brownies do not taste healthy at all. Even people who hate healthy desserts love these low calorie fudgy brownies! Swap chocolate protein powder for the cocoa powder and you get an even higher protein healthy treat.

Protein Brownies

With dairy free, vegan, gluten free, sugar free, and keto options included, these dark chocolate protein brownies are a great on-the-go wholesome snack option.

Deep Dish Cookie Pie

In comparison to a traditional chocolate chip cookie pie full of butter, eggs, and white flour, this healthier copycat gives you a full five grams of fiber and protein, thanks to the whole grain oats and chickpeas.

Chocolate Protein Mug Cake

Whether you’re a vegan worried about getting enough protein, an athlete trying to gain muscle, or just someone who really loves sweet chocolate cake, this single serving chocolate protein cake in a mug contains up to ten grams of protein.

Chocolate Baked Oats

Chocolate baked oats are easy to make for a high protein breakfast. This recipe has close to six grams of fiber and over seven grams of protein per serving, even if you omit the optional peanut butter and protein powder.

High Protein Desserts Without Protein Powder

The following healthy recipes are packed with up to ten grams of protein, and there’s no protein powder required for any of them!

Keto Cheesecake

This is the best low carb, sugar free, and high protein cheesecake recipe you will try. It has a smooth and creamy texture and more than eight grams of protein per slice!

Protein Pudding

This thick dark chocolate protein pudding recipe is so silky, rich, creamy, and delicious. The plant based protein is thanks to a secret ingredient: silken tofu!

Homemade Frozen Yogurt

How to make high protein frozen yogurt with just two ingredients. And you can customize the base recipe for as many flavors as you want. Whip up chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, birthday cake, or cinnamon swirl. The sky is definitely not the limit.

Chocolate Hummus

With close to nine grams of protein in every half cup of this secretly healthy dessert, the flavor and texture will remind you of chocolate brownie batter. When it comes to clean sweets, chocolate hummus completely changes the game.

Chia Pudding Recipes

Health benefits of chia seeds include calcium, iron, fiber, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, Omega 3s, and of course protein. They’ve been shown to help people feel full and are thus great for weight loss. This chia pudding is an easy healthy dessert, whether you are on a diet or not.

Vanilla Protein Frosty

With eight grams of vegan protein per serving, this creamy vanilla frosty tastes like a homemade vanilla milkshake. And it requires no protein powder whatsoever.

No Bake High Protein Desserts

There’s no need to turn on an oven for the following high protein recipes. And you can whip up most of them in under five minutes, from start to finish!

Protein Bars

Making your own homemade protein bar recipe not only saves money, it also allows you to choose what ingredients to include.

Many protein bars in grocery stores or health food stores are filled with processed ingredients like corn syrup, maltodextrin, soy isolate, or added sugars and oil. With this recipe, you can skip the corn syrup and avoid any sugar substitutes you do not wish to use, such as stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.

Banana Ice Cream

Just add a scoop of your favorite flavored or unflavored protein powder to this banana nice cream with no sugar added. Or skip the protein powder and blend in a few tablespoons of naturally high protein peanut butter or almond butter instead.

Healthy Shamrock Shake

With fewer calories and much less sugar than the famous restaurant version, this thick mint chocolate protein milkshake can have up to 25-30 grams of protein.

Strawberry Smoothie

Just add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to turn this homemade fruit smoothie into a single serving protein shake.

Protein Cookies

If you love chocolate chip cookies but want to be healthy, these chocolate chip protein cookies are soft, thick, and chewy, with 20 grams of protein in each cookie. The recipe can be sugar free, egg free, and vegan.

The Best Vegan High Protein Desserts

Contrary to popular belief, there are many vegan sources of protein, including nuts, beans, seeds, lentils, and even nutritional yeast. These high protein vegan recipes prove that it’s easy to get enough protein on a vegan diet.

Vegan Protein Pancakes

If you are looking for a high protein breakfast, snack, or dessert with no eggs, casein, or whey protein, these fluffy vegan pancakes fit the bill. They have over 30 grams of protein!

Protein Ice Cream

Rich and creamy homemade chocolate protein ice cream is secretly good for you at the same time. This healthy dessert recipe is for everyone who loves Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Vegan Chocolate Pie

Just one taste of the silky smooth chocolate filling in this vegan dessert, and you will absolutely never believe the healthy ingredients!

Healthy Protein Snack Recipes

Each of these nourishing high protein recipes is perfect for a quick and healthy snack you can take on the go.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls

No bake peanut butter protein bites are easy to make at home, with no oven required. Snacking on four of these chocolate covered bite sized healthy treats gives you twelve grams of protein.

Almond Flour Banana Bread

Decrease the almond flour by a third cup. Then add a scoop of protein powder for an easy high protein and paleo afternoon snack or nighttime treat.

Chocolate Protein Truffles

Here’s a simple recipe for homemade chocolate protein balls that can be made with pretty much any sweetened or unsweetened protein powder to make different flavors.

Acai Bowl Recipes

These protein smoothie bowls are also high in vitamins, antioxidants, and nutrition. They blend acai berries with other fruits, such as banana, blueberries, or pineapple, and as many toppings as your heart desires. Add almond butter and pea protein for a filling plant based snack.

Healthy Brownies

When it comes to high protein desserts, chocolate fudge banana brownies are one of my favorites. This healthy brownie recipe can be vegan, gluten free, low calorie, low carb, and flourless, with no avocado or tofu.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

With five grams of protein in just two cookies, meeting the RDA for protein has never been easier or more delicious!

Move over, Olive Garden. This healthy cauliflower alfredo sauce is so rich and creamy, you’ll never believe it isn’t full of empty calories and heavy cream.

Deep Dish Cookie Pie

This dessert is one of the most popular recipes I’ve ever posted, and for good reason! If you’ve never had a Pizookie from BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, you are in for a treat. It’s something between a pie and a chocolate chip cookie, with melty chocolate chips in each gooey unbelievable bite!

Almond Milk Ice Cream

Vegan Banana Pudding

Magnolia Bakery is famous for its banana pudding, and now you can make a healthier vegan version at home. Top it with sliced banana, crushed graham crackers, and coconut whipped cream for a kid-friendly healthy snack.

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower

Panda Express used to be one of my favorite fast-food options at the local mall where I grew up. While this healthy plant-based sticky sesame cauliflower is obviously not from Panda Express, the sticky-sweet sauce reminds me very much of their famous deep-fried orange chicken.

Vegan Brownies

Replicate the chocolate brownie sundae from Applebee’s or TGI Fridays in a healthier way, by serving these with a scoop of Oat Milk Ice Cream or Coconut Milk Ice Cream.

Homemade Frozen Yogurt

How to make healthy frozen yogurt with just two ingredients, so you can have your own Pinkberry, 16 Handles, Dairy Queen, or TCBY, with much less sugar!

Whipped Coffee Recipe

There’s no need to get out of your pajamas and head to a trendy coffee shop. This dalgona whipped coffee can be all yours without ever leaving the kitchen.

Green Smoothies

Or these Strawberry Smoothies

Instead of spending up to seven or eight dollars on a single smoothie from Smoothie King or Jamba Juice, making your own also gives you full control over what ingredients to include.

Vegan Pancakes

Or this low carb version: Keto Pancakes

Diner-style fluffy pancakes that taste way better than IHOP, with no eggs required. Because they’re made with simple ingredients, non vegans love these pancakes too. 

Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

The tofu lettuce wraps are one of my go-to orders at P.F. Changs. With sweet hoisin sauce, wok-seared veggies, sliced water chestnuts, and a squeeze of lime, these homemade lettuce wraps are just as good as the original.

Chocolate Frosty

The sweet homemade chocolate frosty is super thick, thanks to one surprisingly easy blending trick that adds creaminess and volume without any of the extra fat and calories.

Made famous by juice bars in LA and New York City, such as Pressed or Juice Generation, acai smoothie bowls are filled with antioxidants and nutrition. This one comes in five flavors and blends acai berries with other fruit such as banana, blueberries, or pineapple.

Veggie Burger Recipe

While Burger King does offer an Impossible burger, it’s still difficult to find plant based menu options at other fast food chains like McDonald’s. Enter the homemade veggie burger. They’re healthier than traditional burgers, completely cholesterol free, and the thick and hearty texture means you won’t ever miss the meat.

Vegan Donuts

These healthy donuts come in many different flavors and are baked, not fried. Until Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme start offering vegan donuts at their shops, I will be over here making my own at home.
