Ingredients
- 2 servings chocolate Life Time Vegan Protein Powder
- 1/4 cup powdered natural sweetener, such as erythritol or stevia
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tbs. pastured butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (low sugar if possible)
- 1/2 cup nut butter, unsweetened and warmed
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
Directions
STEP 1
In a medium bowl, mix together the protein powder, sweetener, and coconut flour.
STEP 2
In a saucepan over low heat (or double boiler), melt together the butter or coconut oil with the marshmallows and chocolate chips, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
STEP 3
Add the nut butter and vanilla to the saucepan, mix vigorously, then quickly fold the mixture into powders. Use oil on your hands or a spatula to prevent sticking.
STEP 4
Press into an 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with pecans for garnish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
