💡 Tips & Swaps

Want more protein? Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works great). You may need to add a splash of almond milk if the mix gets too dry.
Nut-free? Swap in sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Low sugar version? Use dark chocolate chips (80%+ cacao) or a sugar-free brand like Lily’s.
Get fancy: Add cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, or roll them in crushed almonds or shredded coconut for extra flair.

🧘‍♀️ Protein & Planks Studio™ Tip:

These are the perfect “bridge snack” — not quite a meal, but just enough to carry you from yoga to dinner, or school pickup to strength training. I keep a stash in the freezer for those chaotic days when everything is happening — but I still want to eat something that supports my goals.
