Notes

Protein Powder Tips - If using whey protein versus vegan protein powder, add 2 tablespoons of water to the protein powder and powdered peanut butter mixture and stir. If more water is needed add 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. This version is not as thick and more sticky.
