Chocolate Protein Cannelloni's

When you're dieting, training hard, but have crazy chocolate cravings come the evening, yet all that's left in your macronutrient allowance is protein and a minimal amount of fats - chocolate casein is the biggest saviour known to man... So a good-quality, tastey one that's not only going to satisfy cravings, but be of a benefit rather than a hinderance to your progress is a must in my books!

Ingredients:

1/2 scoop Reflex Natural vanilla whey 

1 scoop chocolate casein

2 egg whites

150ml unsweetened almond milk 

5g virgin organic coconut oil 

1. Whisk the egg whites until light and fluffy

2. Thoroughly mix in the natural vanilla whey, 1/2 of your casein powder, and around 75ml of the almond milk - the batter should be smooth yet thick 

3. In a separate bowl, mix your remaining casein and almond milk to form your 'chocolate paste' filling and set aside 

4. Heat a little coconut oil in a pan on a low-medium heat

5. Pour 3-4 tbsp of the batter into the pan, then use the back of a metal spoon to spread and smooth the mixture into a nice round shape

6. When bubbles start to form, flip the 'cannelloni' and cook the other side for a minute or so, or until it starts to lightly brown

7. Plate up, then spread around 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate paste onto the cannelloni, then use your fingers to roll it up

Tip* if you're making a batch to set aside for later, use tooth picks to pierce through the middle of each roll to prevent them from opening up!
