Servings: 6 servings (25 pieces per serving)
Calories: 82kcal
Ingredients
Orange layer:
- ½ cup cake batter whey isolate 51g
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour 14g
- 2 tablespoons carrot juice 30ml
Yellow layer:
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce 15ml

White layer:
- ¼ cup cake batter whey isolate 26g
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour 7g

Instructions
- Mix each color batter in a separate bowl. When you make the yellow batter, mix the turmeric in the applesauce before adding whey and coconut flour.
- Shape each dough into a rectangle, approximately 3"x5". (The orange dough will be twice as thick as the others.)
- Layer the colors with the orange in the middle.
- Slice into strips about ¼" wide.
- To make the candy corn, make alternating diagonal cuts into each strip (see photo above).
- Smooth the shape with your fingers (if desired).
- Enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
