- Chocolate protein powder – 1 scoop
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons
- Maple Syrup – 1 tablespoon

- Mini chocolate chips – 2 tablespoons

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and measure out the plain Greek yogurt. The yogurt should be thick and have a good consistency to give the dip the texture of a classic brownie batter. If there is some liquid separating from the top of the yogurt, drain it into the sink first.
Step 2: Add your scoop of chocolate protein powder and the unsweetened cocoa powder directly into the bowl with the yogurt.
Step 3: Use a spoon or a small whisk to mix everything together. Start stirring slowly so the dry powders do not puff up and spill over the sides of the bowl. It will look pretty dry and clumpy for the first few stirs, but just keep mixing. The yogurt will eventually catch all the powder and turn into a smooth, dark chocolate paste.
Step 4: Pour in the maple syrup to give it a nice, balanced sweetness. Give the dip a quick taste. Depending on the brand of protein powder you used, you might want to add a tiny bit more syrup to get it just right.
Step 5: Check the thickness. If it feels too stiff to dip a strawberry into, add the almond milk one tablespoon at a time. Stir it well until the Protein Brownie Batter Dip reaches the exact creamy consistency you want.
Step 6: Add the mini chocolate chips. Lovely, mix most of them in, then reserve a few to sprinkle on top. This makes the dish look amazing if you’re sharing it with someone.
