Shake down

Protein truffle recipe

Go beyond the conventional protein shake with this delicious snack that's perfect for muscle-building

Ingredients:
  • 170g Greek yogurt
  • 30g of Kinetica Whey protein (strawberry)
  • 18g cup of coconut flour
  • 36g cup of coconut milk or almond milk
  • 60g of 90% dark chocolate
Directions

Mix all of the above ingredients together in a bowl to form a soft batter, then sprinkle the coconut flour on the baking tray. Shape the batter into eight truffles, rolling them on the coconut flour so they're easier to shape. Meanwhile, melt your dark chocolate in a bain marie (a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water). Once rolled into truffles, dip them into the melted chocolate and place them on a tray and leave them to set in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes.
