For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
Casein protein is a slow-digesting protein that supports muscle growth and repair, making this recipe a great bedtime snack after a day of exercise.
Health Benefits
The main ingredient in dark chocolate is called cocoa, which is an excellent source of flavanols and procyanidins (also known as epicatechin and catechin) which are major classes of antioxidants.
Expert Tips
You can use regular whey protein instead of casein, but it will not have the same slow-digesting effects.
