This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

If you want a sweet treat that actually keeps you going, these high-protein gluten-free desserts are perfect for grab-and-go and meal prepping.

Every recipe here is gluten-free and made with a protein boost from protein powder, but the goal with all of these recipes was for them to not taste like protein powder!

HEALTHY Protein Powder GLUTEN-FREe Desserts

Here you’ll find gluten-free and dairy-free, high protein dessert recipes from cookie dough bark, brownie bark, to creamy puddings, bars, cookies, and more!

Oh and I forgot to mention, they’re all refined sugar-free too! So not only can you feel good about these treats because you’re getting some protein in, but they also use more intentional, whole food sugar sources instead of refined white sugar.

Get the Protein-Empowered digital cookbook!

I’ve been posting a new series on my Instagram called “My Weekly Sweet-ish Treat” and lots of them contain protein too, so follow along there you don’t already!

Tell me in the comments which ones of these become a staple for you! Cheers!
