Other Thoughts
- These can easily be made vegan with nondairy milk and yogurt and vegan protein powder. I'd recommend using a whole serving of vegan protein powder as the nondairy yogurts do not provide much protein.
- Adjust the amount of liquid as needed - sometimes vegan protein powders absorb more liquid, therefore need more in a recipe. If you want to try BiPro protein powder, you can get 10% off with code MEGHANNF10 at their website. Free shipping for over $50. Or, you can get it on amazon. (They didn’t sponsor this post and I don’t get any kickbacks. I just like their stuff!)
- I hung onto these guys for 4 days and tried a bite every day to test how well they saved. The flavor stayed consistent. But, the texture changes dramatically on day 3 - less chewy. If you make then for a week, I'd recommend making 2 - 3 at a time. Then, repeat.
