NOTE: I’ve revised this recipe and I now use Divine cocoa powder  and Isopure Zero Carb vanilla protein powder. Both of these products greatly bring down the carb count.  

So the older version had the same ingredients but used regular cocoa powder and Muscle Milk Vanilla protein powder so 1 serving came out to:

{OLD) 211 cals / 18.9g fat / 37.4g carbs / 33.2g fiber / 7.4 g protein = 4.2g net carbs

This newer version has the following nutrition information for 1. serving:
