Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn Base
- 1 large bag popcorn (I used Lesser Evil Coconut Oil Popcorn)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (regular or dairy free)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Protein Powder Coating
- 2 scoops protein powder (any flavor)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or powdered sugar replacement)
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn: Empty the large bag of popcorn into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no un-popped kernels to avoid any unpleasant bites.
- Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Popcorn: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the popcorn. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate peanut butter blend.
- Prepare the Protein Powder Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the protein powder and powdered sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the two powders.
- Final Coating: Sprinkle the protein powder and powdered sugar mixture over the coated popcorn. Toss again until the popcorn is uniformly coated and ready to serve.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Protein Popcorn Puppy Chow is now ready to enjoy as a tasty, protein-packed snack.
Notes
- You can substitute the powdered sugar with a powdered sugar replacement to reduce refined sugar content.
- Choose dairy-free chocolate chips and peanut butter to make the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
- Use any flavored protein powder to customize the taste to your liking.
- Store the Puppy Chow in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
- Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate and peanut butter mixture to prevent burning.
