Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 3 /4 cup

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp regular or dutch cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp protein powder - I recommend Laird Superfood Renew Plant-Based Protein
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup, or stevia to taste
  • 4 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter, or allergy friendly sub

Instructions

  • If not already soft, gently heat nut butter until easily stir-able. Blend everything together until smooth. It's smoothest if you use a small blender or food processor but can definitely be done by hand. For the stevia version, add extra milk of choice as needed. For optimum freshness, store leftovers in the fridge for up to 10 days.
