- 3 tablespoons coconut butter
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla protein powder
- 1 drop green food colouring optional

Put the coconut butter and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl.Microwave on high for 30 seconds and then stir to combine. Microwave for a further 20 - 30 seconds or until the butter and cheese combine completely. Add the protein powder and peppermint essence (and food colouring if using) and combine thoroughly, ensuring the colour is mixed right through.
