  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 0.8 ounces (25 grams) approved chocolate protein powder (the amount in one sample serving)

  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

      For the chocolate topping: optional

  • 1/3 cup 85% dark chocolate chunks

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or other nuts

  2. Stir in protein powder until smooth.

  3. Fold in chia seeds and coconut.
