Klean Delight Bites

Sweet treats are typically high in sugar and fat, with little or no protein. However, our no-bake Klean Delight Bites are packed with protein and fiber, as well as tonnes of flavor. Chewy, crunchy and delicious, these high-protein snack bites are ideal for a post-workout snack or to feed your sweet tooth in the evening – they freeze wonderfully too.‡

Klean Peanut Butter Cups

These chocolate peanut butter cups are seriously indulgent – but they contain 75% more protein than two shop-bought mini peanut butter cups.

Enjoy your treat with a glass of milk to keep your body fueled with protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin D and riboflavin.‡

Ingredients:

• ½ cup Klean Isolate
• 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk – or another plant-based milk of your choice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup chickpeas
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• Topping: ½ cup semi-sweet or special dark chocolate, melted

Method:

• Use cooking spray to grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin
• Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor, until you have a thick batter. Add extra milk if you need to blend the ingredients further, taking care to only add a small amount at a time
• Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin
• To make the topping, melt the chocolate in the microwave for one minute, then stir and cook for a further minute if needed. Once it is liquid, spoon a small amount onto each peanut butter cup
• Freeze for one hour or until solid before tucking in
• The peanut butter cups will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for a few weeks
