Making dessert with the added bonus of a plant-based protein powder is the nutritionist’s equivalent of having your cake and eating it too. Adding just one scoop of PlantFusion Chocolate Brownie Lean Protein to this recipe increases the vitamin and mineral content and takes this from minimal protein to about 4 grams per serving – which is pretty good when it comes to dessert.
