Fudgey Chocolate Protein Brownies

Writer and expert2 years ago

These fudgey brownies are the answer to your chocolate cravings.

Incredibly rich and seriously chocolatey, these brownies from @emmafituk_ taste like an indulgent treat but come in at just 99 calories per bar. Absolute dream.

Boosted with chocolate Impact Whey Protein and chunks of decadent Hotel Chocolat Protein Bar for good measure, they also provide 10g of protein – perfect for supporting your training progress. They’re an ideal sweet snack to have on hand for mid-morning munchies, a post-workout recharge, or something to see you off after dinner.

A batch takes very little time to whip up, the real test is in making them last longer than a few minutes.
