Chocolate Protein Zucchini Bread
It’s also easily customizable by adding your favorite nuts, spice and dried fruit.
Ingredients and Substitutes:
Grate your zucchini first on a standard cheese grater and let it sit out while you prep the remaining ingredients. Do not squeeze out any of the liquid as this helps keeps the bread moist.
You can use any brand of nonfat Greek Yogurt. I prefer Fage and think it tastes the best.
I use Chocolate Gold Standard Whey. You can swap with your favorite chocolate protein powder.

How is this only 12 g of carbs with the flour and honey?
So glad this is low cal and high protein because I could not stop myself after one slice. SO dang delicious. My husband and toddler loved it as well.
I had to bake for 1.5 hrs. Next time I will try draining the zucchini first, as it was too wet after an hour in the oven.
This was delicious! Now I’m curious if I could swap zucchini for banana and basically make it protein banana bread?
Wow, this was delicious!
