06 -
A pinch of sea salt to bring all the flavors together.
07 -
Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance taste.
08 -
One tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate vibe.
09 -
A spoonful of chia seeds for an added crunch and extra nutrients.
# Instructions:
01 -
Scoop your yogurt into a medium bowl to kick things off. Use full-fat for a richer result or go with low-fat if you're watching calories. Add in your protein powder—chocolate matches well with nut butter, but vanilla or plain are great all-rounders. Mix in your nut butter of choice for a creamy texture and added healthy fats.
02 -
Stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder to intensify the taste. Toss in a pinch of salt if you want to make everything pop—it really pulls the flavors together. These small touches can transform a simple snack into something special.
03 -
Grab a whisk or spoon and mix everything well. It might start off a bit lumpy, but don't stress—just keep stirring until everything blends smoothly. If it's coming together too thick, add small amounts of milk bit by bit until you hit the texture you prefer.
04 -
Give the mix a quick taste to see how it's coming along. If it's not sweet enough, drizzle in a little honey or syrup until you're happy with it. If you're including chia seeds, fold those in now. Let the mix sit for a few minutes so the chia can soak up some liquid, adding a fun bit of texture and thickening the blend.
05 -
You can dig in right away, scooping it into a bowl or glass. Want to meal prep? Transfer it to a sealed container and pop it in the fridge—it's good to eat for up to three days. Just give it a quick stir before serving if it sets too much during storage.
# Notes:
01 -
Each serving hits around 25-30g of protein, making it awesome as a post-gym snack or for a quick energy boost.
02 -
If you'd like it fluffier, let it chill in the fridge for half an hour before eating.
03 -
Top it off with extras like berries, granola, cacao nibs, or banana slices for some added pizzazz.
