Baking with Protein

I love my treats, so I'm always looking for a slightly healthier alternative.  I love baking with Protein and since I've found my favorite Protien, the recipes are even better!  You guys gotta try Core Protein from the new company MYNT.  It doesn't have that bad protein after taste, or chalky texture.  The flavor is amazing, smooth texture, and super clean product.  Gluten free, no artificial sweeteners, 15g of protein per scoop, and only 5g of carbs.  I fully stand behind this product.  Email me if your interested in ordering.  I will have it for sale from my website soon, but in the mean time you can just shoot me and email.  Heres some delicous recipes I've been expirimenting with, enjoy!

-1/4 C natural peanut butter (or any nut butter)
-1/4 C PB2

-Dash of sea salt
-1 Scoop Vanilla Bean Core Protein Powder*
-1/4 C plain-nonfat Greek Yogurt

-Mix all ingredients in a bowl until all is mixed thoroughly.  Roll into small balls, about one heaping TBS of "dough".  You can play with the texture, if too moist, add pb2 or oats, if too dry add more peanut butter or honey or yogurt.  Makes about 12 balls.  Enjoy as a healthier treat, or a post workout snack for a good source of protein.
