Chocolate&Berry
Ingredients
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tbsp Swerve (powdered erythritol)
15 g (1/2 scoop) Paleo Pro Protein Powder – Ancient Cacao
3 tbsp whip cream (home made)
2 inch square home made frozen chocolate bar
Whipped Cream
Pour about 1/2 cup of organic heavy cream into a high performance blender (I use my Vitamix blender but Nutri bullet, Magic bullet or Ninja should work as well) and blend on high until the cream thickens and become fluffy. 1 tbsp is only about 8 calories.
Instructions
Add the frozen berries, almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder and erythritol into a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Mixture should be on a thicker side.
Pour into a Ball or Mason jar, mix with one tbsp of whipped cream and top with the remaining 3 tbsp whip cream. Arrange pieces of chocolate bar on top of the whip cream. Serve right away.
