Ingredients
⅓ cup (30 g) chocolate protein powder (whey recommended, see notes)
2 tbsp (15 g) cocoa powder
2 to 4 tbsp Greek yogurt (2% fat or higher recommended)
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder.
Add Yogurt: Start by adding 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and stir with a fork or whisk until the mixture begins to come together. Gradually add more yogurt, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a smooth and thick paste. Adjust the consistency by adding more yogurt if needed.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the spread and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or your preferred choice (if using an unflavored or less sweet protein powder).
Store: Transfer the spread to a mason jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Restore Consistency: If the spread hardens in the fridge, stir in a little milk of your choice to bring it back to a smooth, spreadable texture.
Notes
Protein Powder Choice:
Chocolate whey protein is recommended for a smooth and lump-free spread.
Vegan or casein protein: Both can be used, but they tend to absorb more moisture, so you may need extra Greek yogurt to get the right consistency.
Protein flavor: I recommend using chocolate-flavored protein powder for a richer flavor, but vanilla, brownie, or unflavored protein will work as well. If using unflavored, you may need additional sweetener.
Sweetener: If your protein powder is not sweet enough, feel free to add a sweetener of choice like maple syrup, honey, monk fruit, or erythritol.
