I know you're smiling, go ahead and admit it...I know you remember those Choco-Tacos when you were a kid (if not google it!! Slim (Protein) Choco-Tacos.....These yummy tacos can have a bit of a protein punch from the Greek Yogurt and if you desire, added Whey (You can add as little or as much you like to accommodate your taste--this is optional. I add extra Whey when having them for Post Workout). The shell is a Sprouted Corn Tortilla (I shaped/baked it in the oven to make a hard shell), Ice Cream part is Frozen Greek Yogurt with Banana a Whey/Casein Blend, 10g of Lindt 85% Dark Chocolate and 1/2 tbs of Chopped Nuts for the topping. You should definitely give these tacos a try, healthy & fun and your kiddoes will love them too!!
