Notes
*Protein Powder:
I used Nuzest Vanilla Portein powder but they have an excellent Chocolate Protien powder as well which works perfectly with this recipe making it more indulgent.
You could use any protein powder you like as those are my personal preferences. If you don’t have protein powder add 1 tblsp Oat flour to the mixture.
