There is a version of this where dessert is the thing that undoes your whole week, and there is a version where it is just part of the day. The difference is usually not willpower. It is whether you had something ready that was actually worth eating.
So here are ten, all under 300 calories and all built on protein. Puddings and mousse cups, frozen things for when it is warm, and warm baked ones for when it is not.
Each one has the method right there with it, because a treat you have to go and look up is a treat you will not make. Macros and fibre are listed, and the tags show you what is gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian or vegan.

Smart Treats
High protein, under 300 calories
Macros are a guide and can vary with brands and portions. They assume a 30g scoop of whey protein, plain non-fat Greek yoghurt, low-fat cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk and a zero-calorie liquid sweetener.
Dietary tags are a guide too. If you have an allergy or intolerance, always check the packaging.
Worth knowing
- These are not a reward and they are not something to earn. They are food, and they fit.
- The frozen ones keep, so make them when you have five minutes rather than when you are already wanting one.
- If you are tracking, log them like anything else. Nothing here needs to be hidden or made up for.
Where to from here
If you want the savoury side of this, the snack guide has thirty options sorted by calories. And the monthly meal plan covers brekkie, lunch and dinner, with room left for both.
