Notes

Homemade Nutella Chocolate Protein Spread
Discover homemade healthy chocolate protein spread and you will never buy it at the store again. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and SO easy to make!
Super rich and creamy, it effortlessly holds its own with any of the chocolate spreads at the grocery store. And yet the homemade version also has fewer than half the calories per serving.
It’s much healthier than store-bought, without sacrificing any of the kid friendly classic chocolate taste that we all know and love. This sugar-free Nutella version is creamy and smooth, with a rich chocolate hazelnut flavor.
I have been making sugar-free chocolate spread for well over a decade now. And in fact, I may have been the first person to develop a recipe for it. It was way back in 2011, when I was craving some chocolatey deliciousness and it’s been a favorite ever since.
I was astonished that it was so easy to make my own homemade version. Best of all, I like it even better than the original. Because it is less tooth-achingly sweet, the chocolate hazelnut flavor shines through even more.
My whole family loves this delicious spread. We put it on everything - slathering on toast, drizzling on crêpes, mixing into cookie dough, on pancakes, cheesecake, puddings, smoothies and smoothie bowls  – you name it, we will drizzle this over it. But I am also not above spooning it right out of the jar and straight into my mouth.
Its a decadent and healthy addition to breakfast, dessert or healthy snacks.
