“Wait, you’re telling me you can get a boost of protein AND eat frozen s’mores?!” YES. With these Frozen Peanut Butter Protein S’mores, you CAN have it all.
Greek yogurt, protein powder, and peanut butter team up to make the ultimate protein-packed filling for your s’mores (instead of the typical marshmallow!), while the classic melted chocolate and graham cracker crust deliver those delicious flavors we all know and love.
This is our new favorite way to eat s’mores and you won’t see us going back to the OG version anytime soon. Not only are these a super easy no-bake dessert, but they pack a whopping 14g of protein per s’more. Doesn’t get much better than that!
We’re swapping the traditional marshmallow in these s’mores for a Greek yogurt + protein powder + honey + peanut butter filling that freezes perfectly. It’s kind of like a s’mores ice cream sandwich with a peanut butter twist. And they’re seriously SO DELISH.
What’s in These Magical Frozen S’mores
- 2% Greek yogurt: The perfect high-protein base to get these smores tasting like marshmallow creme.
- Vanilla protein powder: For an extra punch of protein and sweet vanilla flavor.
- Honey: Honey adds a lovely natural sweetness to these sheet pan s’mores.
- Peanut butter: Who doesn’t love a little PB in their s’mores? Plus, it adds even more protein and heart-healthy fats.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: For that classic melted chocolate goodness.
- Coconut oil: You’ll need coconut oil to ensure the chocolate sauce hardens up nicely in the freezer.
- Graham crackers: You’d be crazy to make s’mores without the crispy graham cracker crust!
What protein protein powder should I use?
The protein powder you use will dictate the flavor of your protein s’more. We used Vital Proteins vanilla protein and 365 vanilla protein, and they tasted great. We do not recommend using Truvani vanilla protein in the recipe.
Remember, every protein powder is different! Some protein powders absorb more moisture than others. If your protein layer tastes gritty or dry, add more Greek yogurt or honey.

What Else Can Go In These S’mores?
Peanut butter: Use cashew butter, almond butter, or another nut butter instead of peanut butter. You could also use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Honey: Brown sugar can be used in place of honey.
Chocolate: Use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
Add more flavor: To kick up the flavor, add in some vanilla extract, caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Why did my sheet pan protein smores come out really firm?
The longer the protein smores are left in the freezer, the firmer they will become. That’s ok!! If they are left in the freezer overnight, just let them sit at room temperature until they are easy to take a bite from.
here’s a tip!
Graham crackers don’t fit? You may have to break the graham crackers to make them fit perfectly into the pan you are using. Don’t worry, it won’t mess up your smores!
How to Store
These sheet pan s’mores can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen and enjoyed at a later time. Just thaw them out a bit in the fridge or on the counter before serving.
What to Enjoy with Frozen Protein S’mores
These frozen peanut butter protein s’mores are a delicious treat on their own, but if you’re looking to level up your dessert game, try pairing them with some of these delicious options:
- Ice cream: Top your warm s’more with a scoop of our Healthy Chocolate Nice Cream or Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Nice Cream.
- Hot chocolate: Nothing beats a gooey s’more paired with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold evening. Our Maple Sea Salt Hot Chocolate or Easy Spiked Hot Chocolate would taste fantastic!
- Whipped cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds a light and airy element to the s’mores. Make your own with our tutorial — How to Make Whipped Cream!
Frozen Peanut Butter Protein Smores
Ingredients
Protein Filling
- ⅔ cup 2% Greek yogurt
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Chocolate
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
Other Ingredients
- 9 sheets of graham crackers
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan (preferably with square edges instead of rounded edges) with sheets of graham crackers.
- Next, add the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, honey, and peanut butter and mix until thick and combined.
- Pour the Greek yogurt mixture into the pan and evenly spread the mixture over the top of the graham crackers, almost to the edges.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-second increments, stirring after every increment, until the chocolate has melted and becomes glossy.
- Pour the chocolate over the Greek yogurt mixture and evenly spread the chocolate almost to the edges. Top with the remaining graham crackers.
- Cover and transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze for at least two hours. The longer the pan is in the freezer, the firmer the s’mores will be.
- Remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cutting into individual protein smores.

Is it possible to sub the greek yogurt with something non-dairy?
We have not tested this recipe with a non-dairy yogurt, but if you do, let us know how it goes!
These were so good!! And so easy! Not sure what happened to the previous reviewer, but I had no issues with these holding together. I used Fage 2% greek yogurt and whey protein. Froze overnight and then put in the fridge about 2 hours before serving. They were perfect! Will definitely make again.
So glad you loved this fun dessert as much as we do, Melissa! 😀
This recipe was a total bust — so disappointing. The yogurt layer was runny, and even after chilling for a bit before assembling, it ran under the bottom graham cracker layer so the undersides became a sticky mess. The finished product was little more than cold graham crackers with hard layer of chocolate in the middle.
The idea that these would keep in the fridge for any amount of time is laughable. We will keep in the freezer and try to salvage them by making actual s’mores.
Shoooot! We’re so sorry to hear these didn’t work for you, Maggie — would you mind sharing if you made any substitutions? A lower fat or non-Greek yogurt?
