Made with whey protein — a favorite of weight-lifting types — each six-ounce cup of the creamy nonfat yogurt contains 15 to 17 grams of protein.

Here's a sweet Paleo-friendly treat from reader AllieNic. She posted this cookie dough ball recipe in our Healthy Recipe group. I was totally inspired by Heather’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Balls, that I decided to make my own — a little different, of course because that’s how I roll.
