Let’s just call this the best afternoon snack ever.
I had something else entirely planned for today but this was just too good not to share. I wish I had taken some not-iPhone photos but truth is, I wasn’t planning on posting it and I was hungry. I may or may not have burned my mouth a little because I couldn’t wait for it to cool. Yeah, it was worth it.
Chocolate + almond butter in a high protein, paleo friendly package. This little snack is about 120 calories with 3g fat, 12g carbs, nearly 7 grabs fiber!, and 18g protein (with liquid stevia sweetener & without almond butter) meaning it has serious staying power. This little souffle kept me full for HOURS and normally, I’m a complete snack monster in the afternoon. Plus, it’s CHOCOLATE – like I said, best snack ever.
Chocolate Protein Souffle
Print recipeIngredients

- 2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
