Do you think adding some baking cocoa to unflavored and unsweetened hemp seed protein powder would work instead of the chocolate power? I’m assuming it is 1/4 CUP of maple syrup? It’s the only measurement for 1/4 that makes sense to me there. – Thank you!!
It should work fine. Also, thank you for catching that!
