Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk of choice, as needed
  • Pinch of sea salt

For Serving

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Banana slices
  • Berries
  • Shredded coconut
  • Chopped nuts
  • Cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Add the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, cacao powder, honey, vanilla and sea salt to a bowl.
    Stir thoroughly until smooth and completely combined.
    Taste and adjust the sweetness, adding a little more honey if desired.
    If the mixture is too thick, stir in milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream to thicken and the flavours to develop.
    Serve layered with fresh fruit as a parfait, use as a fruit dip or spoon over a favourite healthy dessert.
    Finish with shredded coconut, chopped nuts or your favourite toppings.
    Blended Bites Tips
    Choose unsweetened cacaoor cocoa so you can control the sweetness.
    Add honey gradually -your protein powder may already provide plenty of sweetness.
    Add a splash of milk if you would prefer a softer cream for dipping or drizzling.
    Vanilla protein powder creates a more classic chocolate-peanut butter flavour, while chocolate protein powder makes it extra decadent.
    Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if preferred.
    For a thicker parfait filling, use full-fat Greek yogurt and omit the milk.
    Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    The cream will thicken further after chilling.
