Recipe Ingredients:

4 teaspoons of unflavored, unsweetened gelatin
2 tablespoons of whey protein (or powdered milk, if preferred)
1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup hot water (6.8 fl oz or 200 ml)

Instructions:

First, in a bowl, combine the gelatin with the hot water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Then, add the whey protein (or powdered milk, if you prefer) and mix until fully blended.

Next, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

After that, lightly grease an ice cube tray with a bit of coconut oil and pour the mixture into the compartments.

Then, place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the treats become firm.

Finally, gently remove them from the tray and serve as desired.

To finish, this recipe yields delicious protein-packed treats with very low carbs — ideal for a healthy snack or a light dessert.

Extra tips:

Add dried fruits or nuts like almonds or cashews to the mix for extra crunch and a richer flavor.
Want to switch things up? Replace the cocoa powder with instant coffee for a more energizing version that combines caffeine with protein.
For enhanced aroma and flavor, try adding a few drops of natural vanilla extract — it makes the treat even more irresistible!
