Instructions
- Line two small loaf pans with parchment paper.
- Mix protein powder with cacao.

- Add almond butter and salt. Mix well.
- If the fudge is too thick to spoon into a pan, add another tablespoon of water. Mix well.
- Spoon fudge into parchment-lined pans.

Notes
This recipe will likely also work with a whey/casein blend like Quest protein powder or PEScience protein. You'll need more water, though.
I wouldn't recommend using plant protein powders in this recipe, as they wouldn't yield a creamy fudge.
