Optional Flavor Enhancers
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (optional; intensifies the chocolate flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (optional; can substitute with honey)

- Use chocolate protein powder along with cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor.
- Ideal as a quick breakfast, snack, or post-workout recovery food.
