Mini Protein Pie - Strawberry & Cream
This is literally my new favorite express dessert! Not only is it super easy, but packed with protein and outrageously delicious. Perfect for those who love a healthy, high-protein treat that’s also gluten-free and vegan. The crust is made with roasted buckwheat and oats, while the creamy filling is flavored with cookie and cream protein powder. Top it with fresh strawberries for a refreshing finish!
