Notes

There are so many ways to change up this recipe.
1. Use plant-based protein powder for a vegan option.
2. If you have vanilla protein powder on hand instead, use 1 full Tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it more chocolatey.
3. Sub in unflavored collagen powder or mix it with another protein powder- and use 1 full Tablespoon cocoa powder.
4. Enjoy this bowl with raspberries, bananas, cherries, oranges, blueberries, pomegranates or any of your favorite fruit. Pretty much everything goes with chocolate :-)
