Creamy Chocolate Snack (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1-2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter – thickens it up and provides healthy fats
02 - ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate or vanilla work best, but unflavored is fine too
03 - 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat makes it rich; low fat keeps it light

→ Extra Additions

04 - Add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey if it’s not sweet enough for your taste buds
05 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – gives a touch of sweetness and extra flavor
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds – boosts fiber and gives some crunch
07 - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder – optional, but makes it chocolatier
08 - A pinch of sea salt – balances out the sweetness and heightens all the flavors
09 - Use a splash of any milk you like (dairy, almond, oat) if you want to loosen it up

# Instructions:

01 - Toss Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any extras like vanilla or cocoa into a bowl and mix them together.
02 - Thoroughly whisk or stir until the mixture becomes smooth and silky. If it feels too thick, just drizzle in a little milk and stir again.
03 - Try a bit of the mix, and if it’s not sweet enough, stir in some honey or maple syrup.
04 - If you like some texture, mix in chia seeds, then let it sit for 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
05 - It’s ready to eat right away, or you can store it in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge.

# Notes:

01 - This can be as simple as using just Greek yogurt and a flavored protein powder.
02 - Play around with different protein and mix-in flavors to keep it exciting.
