This is the perfect (and super duper easy) way to satisfy your sweet tooth AND flood your body with goodness. I used the Juice Plus+ Complete Protein Powder. The Complete Protein is a WHOLE FOOD nutrition. It's different from other protein powders because it's NOT a supplement. Also, the plant based protein is wonderful post workout. It repairs muscles and decreases inflammation (unlike whey protein, which is known to increase inflammation). This protein powder has quickly become part of my daily life - I add it to oatmeal, in a smoothie, and now in my bark! Contact me with any questions about this delicious protein (lynore.laws@gmail.com).
In a small bowl combine 1 cup almond butter, 1 scoop Chocolate Complete protein powder, 3 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp organic honey or pure maple syrup (I don't like over sweet things - you can adjust depending on how sweet you would like this), and a pinch of sea salt. Pour mixture into a small shallow glass dish and put in the freezer.
Melt dark chocolate (I did this in the microwave - 50% power and 30 seconds at a time - take out and stir after each 30 seconds). Then, pull dish out of the freezer and drizzle the dark chocolate over top. Yummm. Put the mixture back in the freezer for several hours (this is the hardest part of the entire recipe).
Once it's frozen, I chopped it up in small, bite size pieces.
Keep in the freezer and grab a small piece whenever you have a chocolate craving.
Enjoy :)
