Notes
- Sugar: You can also use coconut sugar.
- Almond Butter: Make sure to use all-natural almond butter (one with just almonds as the ingredient).
- Protein Powder: For best results, use vanilla protein powder (whey or pea protein). You can also use cookie dough flavor, but I do not recommend using unflavored.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight mason jar or container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. It is best enjoyed when left at room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes.
