What's your favorite snack to have when you're wanting something sweet, but you're also trying to be kind of healthy?

I mix zero sugar cool whip with zero sugar orange jello ( just the powder packet) sometimes even keep in the freezer. It kinda reminds me of a creamsicle. which I'm licking at a spoonful now

Vanilla protein powder mixed with cocoa, an egg and some milk - stir madly together....it ends up kinda like uncooked cake mix.

Cook in microwave like 40 seconds? (Just till it starts to rise in cup)

Take out....stir, repeat.

On the third go, i break up some dark chocolate and stir it in.
(You dont want it to cook completely coz then it loses its 'goo' factor)

Basically you hoepfuly end up with chocolatey, cakey, gooey, fudgey stuff with melted chocolately bits ....in a cup.
(And its a protein bomb)

@OogieBoogie you had me at goo factor

@Bexsy i get impatient when i get the odd craving, and this takes less than 5 minutes to make.

its how i use up my protein power now.
I think i overdid the protien shakes and am a bit sick of them now🫤

Bexsy

@OogieBoogie I need to maybe get chocolate protein. I just don't like my vanilla at all

@Bexsy really?

Huh?...vanilla is the only one i liked. I tried pistachio, strawberry and chocolate, and just didnt like them as much.

Mind you....i did end up adding instant coffee to the vanilla.

Somehow the flavours ar just....off (?), a little bit.
- not as in yuck, but as in " they dont quite hit the right flavour profile for what they claim🤷‍♀

Bexsy

@OogieBoogie maybe it is the brand. my vanilla just..gunky. don't know how to describe it. only way I've sorta liked it, a recipe to make pancakes from it

@Bexsy that's a good idea ☺
