One of my favorite desserts is a gooey chocolate lava cake. I remember going to Chili’s and always ordering this for dessert growing up. Now I like to make a healthier version that is gluten free and high protein! I like to use Isopure’s Whey Protein in this recipe and you cannot even tell it is higher protein.
For this recipe I use Isopure’s Zero Dutch Chocolate Protein powder to increase the protein content. It adds to the vanilla flavor and is so delicious! Use code “KELLY15” for 15% off Isopure!
