Notes
Choose a chocolate protein powder you enjoy. Its flavor leads this recipe, so pick one you’d happily eat on its own. I use Equip Protein because it's super sweet naturally (and zero bloat!).
You can vary it so many ways. If you're making the chocolate-coated version, though, make sure to let it chill in the fridge so you're not super sticky!
