I always end up having leftover rice when making dinner and this is a great way of using it up, using two other ingredients, chocolate and your favourite protein powder. And I know what you’re going to ask… can you not taste the rice. Not at all. It’s super smooth and tastes great. For another great high protein snack, check out these batch prep energy balls.

No, the rice blends smoothly and isn’t noticeable at all. The mousse has a creamy texture and delicious flavour thanks to the protein powder and chocolate.
