Is your significant other is a muscle-building, macro-counting, protein-loving beast (or beastess)? If the answer is yes, then a box of protein chocolates might just be the ticket to his or her heart!
Protein chocolates are fantastic because they're high in antioxidants, rich in fiber, and completely sugar-free. Also, did I mention they're delicious? Giving your loved one homemade protein chocolates in a homemade box is a great way to show him or her how much you care! I guarantee you'll be well rewarded for your hard work (wink)!
Be warned: Once your better half knows you know how to make them, you'll turn into a personal protein-chocolate-making factory! Don't have a fitness-bunny honey? Who cares! Make these and eat them yourself. They're so good you'll be glad you don't have to share. Here's how they're done:
Strawberry Protein-Filled Dark Chocolate Bites
- In a big bowl, mix protein powder, ground almonds, coconut flour, oats, and milk.
- Melt 2.5 squares of chocolate and divide it between 10 or 11 chocolate molds. If you don't have chocolate molds, just use cupcake-tin liners. Move the chocolate around the edges of the mold or liner so it covers the sides and doesn't pile up at the bottom.
- Put the molds in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Remove the molds from the freezer. The chocolate should have set on the bottom and sides of the mold, creating a chocolate case.
- Fill each mold with the protein mixture.
- Once you fill each mold, melt another 2.5 squares of dark chocolate and cover up the filling.
- Stick the chocolates back in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Remove chocolates from casings and enjoy!
