Chocolate Chip Protein Bread
Lately I’ve been snacking on some chocolate chip protein bread when I want a sweet treat. It’s great cold from the fridge, and I love it because it’s dense and filling. And who doesn’t love chocolate chips!?
I have made this protein bread a few times with different protein powders, and I definitely recommend Slap Nutrition – Peanut Butter and Slappy Birthday are amazing! This protein powder is hormone free, antibiotic free, soy lecithin free, and sweetened with Stevia. It also bakes very well and comes in a variety of flavors. Use code: MARY for 10% off.
I also really like the PEScience brand for this recipe. It also bakes very well. Use code BEYONDFIT for 30% off on their website. I like the Gourmet Vanilla and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup flavors. This brand uses artificial sweeteners.
Feel free to do some experimenting of your own to change up the flavors. This bread goes great with 2T. of truwhip (a non-GMO version of Cool Whip). Here is the recipe!
