1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
1/2cupalmond milk, plain and unsweetened
1/3cupdry roasted hazelnuts
(Optional)1 teaspoon 100% pure maple syrup

Instructions
Add Greek yogurt to your serving bowl and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the protein powder, ground flaxseed meal, vanilla extract, almond milk, hazelnuts, and maple syrup (if using). Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick and you will have to scrape it out with a spoon to get it out of the blender container.
Scrape out the blended chocolate hazelnut mixture and place over the Greek yogurt.
Mix together yogurt and chocolate hazelnut mixture.
When ready to serve, place frozen raspberries in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds to warm them slightly. Top your yogurt bowl with the warmed raspberries and dark chocolate chips, if desired.
