Thanks, Workoutaholic!

I don't have this one, it looks yummy! I will try it this week!

I have a recipe from BFFM for a brownie made with chocolate protein powder and peanut butter. Have you tried this one?

I'm not sure if I should try it, because when it comes to brownies, I really like the real stuff, anything less should just not be called brownie....

Curiosity will probably get the better of me in the end, but I'll need to rename the recipe to protein bite or something, just so I don't expect an actual brownie taste....

Can you tell I'm a choclataholic.... Oh well, that's what I get for being Swiss, best chocolate in the world from the start....

I haven't tried that brownie thing...can you tell me where to find it?

I looooooove chocolate too.

Ingredients
2 large egg whites
1/2 c. honey
6 heaping scoops (200 g) chocolate protein powder
1/2 c. nonfat milk
1 c. natural peanut butter
2 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
Directions
Mix the peanut butter and honey in a bowl, microwave on high for
100 secs. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. This is
tough to mix and it takes time. If you don’t have the tools you may
want to cut the oatmeal a bit to make it easier to work. Preheat oven
to 320o F. Smooth into 13x9 tray and bake for 20 minutes. Oven
times may vary, use the toothpick test. Cut into 20 equal bars and
wrap and store in fridge.
