⅛
teaspoon

Instructions
Line two mini loaf pans with
parchment paper
.
Mix protein powder with cocoa, chipotle, and sea salt.
Add water (start with 3 tablespoons), and mix well.
Add almond butter. Mix well.
If the fudge is too thick to spoon into a pan, add another tablespoon of water. Mix well.
Gently fold in pomegranate seeds (reserving some to place on top, if desired).
Spoon fudge into parchment-lined pans. Top with any remaining pomegranate seeds.
Freeze for 1-2 hours, until the parchment peels cleanly from the fudge.
Cut into squares, and enjoy!
Store in the freezer.
