Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder malt-flavored preferred
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk chilled
- 1 tbsp malted milk powder for that authentic U-No flavor
- 1 tbsp almond butter smooth and creamy
- 1 tsp dark cocoa powder unsweetened
- 0.25 tsp almond extract to enhance the truffle notes
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese blended for a truffle-like texture
- 1 cup ice cubes for thickness
- 1 tsp honey optional, for added sweetness
Notes
To make this dairy-free, substitute the cottage cheese with silken tofu and use a plant-based chocolate protein powder. For a thicker consistency, use frozen almond milk cubes instead of regular ice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours; thaw slightly and re-blend before serving.
