These super low-carb, protein-rich squares of peanut buttery bliss make a decadent post-workout recovery snack.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED (Makes 6 squares)
• 1 tbsp coconut butter, softened in microwave (you need the butter, not the oil, to ensure it hardens)
• 1 scoop peanut butter-flavoured protein powder (or use vanilla and add ½ tbsp melted natural, unsalted, no added sugar peanut butter to the mix)
• 4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Line a square glass dish or BPA-free plastic container with cling wrap.
Place all ingredients in a bowl and combine using a hand blender or whisk.
If you notice powder lumps, flatten against the bowl with the back of a spoon and blend in.
Pour mixture into dish or container and refrigerate for two to three hours or until set.
Alternatively, put it in the freezer.
