This Protein Smoothie Tastes Just Like Your Favorite Childhood Treat
Cosmic Brownies are one of those '90s snack foods that I think I will always remember fondly. The strongest memory I have of them consists of my family walking to the local drugstore on a snow day to grab a pack. Hiking through through the snow in suburban North Carolina was not a frequent occurrence, and to this day it makes my connection to the dessert feel more magical.
If you're looking to spruce up your favorite childhood treat, or you've moved from Cosmic Brownies to lava cakes and chocolate fondue, whip up this Galaxy Brownie Protein Smoothie exists, thanks to Premiere Protein and TikTok foodie @erinliveswhole.
