Healthy Chocolate Protein Powder
A healthy, plant-based chocolate protein powder made with real nuts, seeds, and cocoa. No fillers, just pure goodness in every scoop.
Ingredients
- ½ cup raw almonds
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Roast the nuts & seeds
- Toast each nut and seed separately in a dry pan over low heat (or oven at 170°C/340°F) until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
- Blend into powder
- In small batches, blend each roasted ingredient in a high-speed blender or spice grinder until fine. Don’t overload — it prevents clumping or turning oily.
- Add cocoa powder
- Combine all ground nuts and seeds in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa powder and mix well.
- Store & enjoy
- Transfer to an airtight jar. Store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, or freezer for longer.

Notes
- Roasting: Toasting nuts and seeds enhances flavor but keep heat low to avoid burning or bitterness.
- Texture: Blend in small batches for a smooth, fine powder. Overfilling the blender may cause clumping or oiliness.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 weeks or freeze for longer freshness.
- Custom Flavor Boosts: Add cocoa powder for a rich chocolate twist, cinnamon for warmth, or vanilla for a subtle sweetness.
- Kid-Friendly: Sneak into milkshakes, oats, and yogurt bowls — they won’t even notice the difference.
