Chocolate Frosting (Protein)

This decadent chocolate protein frosting recipe is a great healthy option for cakes or cupcakes.

2 Tbsp. unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. chocolate whey protein powder
2 Tbsp. milk
4 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
4 Tbsp. almond or peanut butter

If not already soft, gently heat nut butter until easily stir-able. Blend everything together until smooth. It's smoothest if you use a small blender or food processor but can definitely be done by hand.

For optimum freshness, store leftovers in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Makes ¾ cup, enough to frost 6 cupcakes.
