Want to satisfy your sweet tooth and up your protein intake? Kill two birds with one stone with this recipe. (FYI: we love birds.)
The protein powder supplement you use is your choice. However, test some out first and watch out for: sugars, fats and carbs. It should be pure protein. Also, if you haven’t tried Whey Protein and you become bloated once you do, you might be intolerant to whey so you might want to try a vegan-sourced protein powder (pea, chickpea, etc.).
It is preferable to use unsweetened almond milk. You can vary the flavor, vanilla or chocolate if you want to modify this recipe.
