Part 2/5:
30g Cocoa Powder: The choice between natural and Dutch cocoa depends on your flavor preferences. Dutch cocoa is sweeter and milder, as it has been processed to remove acidity. This recipe does not require leavening agents, making both options suitable.
50g Creamy Peanut Butter: This ingredient not only adds flavor but also provides healthy fats. For an extra protein boost, consider using powdered peanut butter, which is lower in calories and higher in protein.
60g Vanilla Protein Powder: Ideally, use casein protein for a fudgier consistency. If unavailable, whey protein can also work, but be mindful that it may yield a drier texture.
A Pinch of Salt: Just enough to enhance the flavors.
