- 70g frozen raspberries (softened)
-

Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a bowl, break up the 2 Weetabix biscuits and mix them with the skimmed milk and chocolate protein powder (if using). Let it soak for a few minutes or overnight in the fridge for the Weetabix to soften.

- Add the Chocolate Layer: Drizzle the homemade chocolate sauce over the top of the raspberry and yogurt layers.
- Chill: Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together.
