Every now and then I want to add in different recipes and today will be one of those days. I have a high need for protein in my diet. I’ve been learning to eat or drink a protein shake prior to my workout to help accelerate my fat loss. I came across this neat recipe for something sweet and high in protein. Enjoy!
