CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BROWNIES
(Gluten Free / Low Sugar / High Protein)
The month of December kicks off with National Peppermint Bark Day. The unbeatable combination of mint and chocolate is the perfect sweet indulgence that keeps going all the way through the new year.
The traditional peppermint bark is full of sugar and typically doesn’t have any nutritional value.
Until now, of course!
This Oreo Peppermint Bark Overnight Oats by Kat (@katalysthealth) is a healthier version, featuring our MariGold Rich Chocolate Malt Whey Isolate Protein Powder. It’s made with clean ingredients that you can even enjoy for breakfast.
It’s the perfect (and healthy) excuse to enjoy the seasonal flavors until the end of the year.
Kat (@katalysthealth) creates simple recipes that are gluten free and super tasty! Be sure to check out @katalysthealth on Instagram for more unique, awesomely creative low-carb/keto recipes and treats.
