Notes
The whey protein is used to get the right texture and other bland tasting powders may be suitable replacements like collagen.
Chocolate chips can be replaced with white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or dried cranberries.
Other seeds like chia or flax make nice additions or substitutes.
