I’d made a malted chocolate protein bowl on my Instagram with a magic shell topping, and a lot of people seemed to like it. So I took that concept and made something a little festive. Used ginger thin cookies as a “shell” and put in those gingerbread flavors to make this high protein bowl.
It really was beautiful! A smooth and creamy dessert, snack or post-workout treat you’re going to want on repeat. And so easy too!
