If you’re looking for a snack that’s equal parts delicious, nourishing, and convenient, this Crispy Choc & Peanut Butter Protein Slice is the ideal recipe to make.

8g protein per slice!

With its crunchy texture, rich peanut butter flavour and satisfying chocolate drizzle, it feels like a treat, but it’s packed with nutrients to keep your energy and focus steady.

One of the biggest benefits of making a recipe like this is the convenience factor. Having pre-prepared snacks ready in the fridge means you’re far less likely to reach for highly processed options when hunger strikes.

Instead, you’ve got something balanced, full of protein, and made from wholefood ingredients that will support your health goals.

The combination of protein from vanilla protein powder and soy protein crisps as well as the protein and healthy fats from peanut butter will help to keep you fuller for longer and support muscle recovery. The crispy base provides that satisfying crunch without refined ingredients. A little drizzle of dark chocolate not only makes it extra delicious, but also brings antioxidants to the mix. It’s the kind of snack that works just as well after a workout as it does with an afternoon tea.

This recipe proves that nourishing snacks don’t have to be complicated. With a batch ready to go, you’ll always have a quick option on hand that satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping your nutrition on track.

Course Dessert, Snack

For this recipe I used the Vanilla Organic Pea Protein by The Healthy Chef and I love the taste and texture of this one! Plant based proteins are a really good alternative to whey. They can be really helpful if you experience bloating or any intolerances or dietary requirements that avoid dairy.
