One of the most difficult parts of any fitness journey is changing your mindset around food. Cutting certain foods out and incorporating new ones into your diet can be challenging for many people, and that's okay! Here at AstroFlav, we want to help you along your fitness journey by providing you with delicious (and healthy) recipes that will keep you dedicated to your fitness journey while allowing you to enjoy what you eat.
The best-tasting Protein Puppy Chow recipe that you can bring to every holiday event is on the Healthier You recipe today. The combination of peanut butter and white chocolate makes a tasty satisfaction for a healthier sweet snack! Not to mention, this recipe highlights one of our original, yet most universal Vanilla protein powders to add a bit of extra protein! We hope you love this recipe just as much as we do!
Base
1/2 cup AstroFlav Chocolate Protein powder
1/3 cup Oat flour
3 TBS Almond flour
5 TBS Cocoa powder (or Black Cocoa)
1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk
1/2 crushed candy cane
Protein Frosting
2/3 cup AstroFlav VanillaProtein powder
1/4 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 TBS Almond flour
Chocolate Coating
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I love Lily'sstevia sweetened)
1/4 tsp coconut oil
2 TBS crushed candy cane
In a large bowl, add dry ingredients: protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, and crushed candy cane.
Slowly pour in almond milk, a little bit at a time and mix until dough forms.
Transfer to pan and press down firmly to flatten down.
For the protein frosting: mix vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, and TBS of almond flour until thick and smooth. If mixture is too dry, add more Greek yogurt.
Spread evenly on top of base and place in freezer for 15-20 minutes.
For the chocolate coating: Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second intervals until melted.
Remove the protein base from the freezer and spread chocolate coating on top.
Sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces on top and place in freezer for 5-10 minutes to let harden.
Remove from freezer, and cut protein bark out of the pan.

To make recipe vegan, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. Replace AstroFlav IsoMix with our new Vegan protein powder!
Instead of almond flour, sub 5 TBS of coconut flour.
Since these bars require cold to keep frosting from melting, they can only be left on the counter for a few hours.
Store protein bars in an airtight container, and place in fridge or freezer for about 1 week!
