I’ve been loving adding some protein boost to my treats lately and Orgain (not an ad) makes the yummiest proteins.


You can easily make these with oat flour if you don’t have protein on hand.

If you don’t have oat flour just process the same weight of oats until meal like and there, you got yourself oat flour.

We all loved these cups, they’re perfect to eat from freezer or fridge. And they’re the easiest to put together (no baking!) despite the 3-layer dessert action.

Easy recipes are life.

Let me know if you give these a try!
