Why Use Select Protein?

Select Protein is more than just flavor; it’s functional. This protein blend combines whey and casein for a superior texture, slower digestion, and longer-lasting satiety. This recipe adds structure and richness to both the chocolate and peanut butter layers without compromising taste.

Storage Tips:

Keep your protein cups stored in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to eat. They’re perfect straight from the freezer for a cold, satisfying treat.
