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 TipsChoose 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.
