Introduction
As a nutrition major and girlfriend to a man with a bonafide chocolate and sugar addiction, I am realizing that though I can eat chia seeds and broccoli all day long, the average Joe needs healthy eating to be packaged a tad more sneakily. Is "sneakily" a word? Word or not, these little protein packed ninjas are officially boyfriend approved! So sneak 'em past those meat and potato appetites. Your waist lines will thank you. :) As a nutrition major and girlfriend to a man with a bonafide chocolate and sugar addiction, I am realizing that though I can eat chia seeds and broccoli all day long, the average Joe needs healthy eating to be packaged a tad more sneakily.

Ingredients
-
.5c Soy Flour (Hodgson Mill)
1c Old Fashioned Oats
2 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (Precision Engineered)
4 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Ghiradelli)
4 tbsp Stevia
.5 tsp baking soda
1c Unsweetened Applesauce
.5c Water
4 Egg Whites
Cinnamon and salt to taste
Tips
Flavor Variations:
1) Chocolate Mocha: replace water with room temperature brewed coffee. Adding it while hot will curdle the egg whites before baking.
2) Apple Spice: omit cocoa powder and add nutmeg and ginger to taste
3) Autum Pumpkin: Replace half the unsweetened applesauce with canned 100% pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!). Add pumpkin pie spice to taste.
*Store these in the fridge or wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in freezer bags.
