Hello! You could try hot chocolate powder or skimmed milk powder (with vanilla to flavour for example) 🙂 xx – or why not try my no bake cocoa truffles/nakd bits (no protein powder!): http://nicsnutrition.com/recipe/homemade-nakd-bar-recipe/
Hi Nic! Is there any other substitute for coconut flour? Is there a reason why you have chosen to use it?
Thank youuu 🙂

Hello! Unfortunately not sorry – coconut flour is really drying which is why this recipe works – the recipe was made for coconut flour as opposed to using it just as a ‘flour’! Hope this helps – you won’t regret buying some and making them, they are amazing!! xx
Great recipe! I’ve been looking for a coconut flour recipe for a while now.

Aw thanks Kate so much!! xx
Hi, these look amazing, I’ve ordered some coconut flour in my next Tesco shop! Just one quick question – do you know what the macros are if I use PPB instead of cocoa? I’m assuming more protein but wondered whether they taste as nice?

Hi Ali! I would say to experiment! The macros won’t change that much as you only use a small amount of it.. do let me know how it goes!! Nic xx
What can I use instead of protein powder?
Author
Skimmed milk powder 🙂
