Ingredients

  • 2 crisp apples
  • 100g dark chocolate

  • Spread the almond butter mixture on each apple ring.

  • Serve chilled or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

 

LØUCO Tip

Swap almond butter for tahini or sunflower seed butter if you’re nut-free, just keep the LØUCO in for your protein boost!
