Notes
A note about substitutions: If you use whey protein in place of the Warrior Blend protein, you'll need less water and you'll want to freeze them a little longer (~15 minutes) before dipping in the chocolate coating. You can use cocoa powder in place of the cacao powder. You can also substitute other natural sweeteners in place of the stevia.
