Notes

Cookies: Sub plain shortbread cookies for pecan sandies to take this recipe into another stratosphere. Graham crackers also work!
Vegan substitutions: Make this recipe vegan with plant-based yogurt, dairy-free cottage cheese and vegan protein powder.
Sweeteners: If you don't have dates on hand, use maple syrup or honey as your sweetener. Flavored protein powder and vanilla yogurt can also add sweetness and flavor.
Toppings: Feel free to include other toppings, such as fresh fruit, granola, chocolate shavings (or cacao nibs) and toasted nuts.
