Super Creamy Delicious Protein-Packed Peanut Butter Cups!

Recipe Yields One 300 calorie cup


Wow, just...wow!  I didn't expect these to turn out so well!  One cup is an entire serving (can be a meal replacement).  I can't believe how FILLING one cup is!  I had to save half for later!

Be sure to keep these in the fridge or right up against your ice pack in your cooler, as the coconut oil will melt easily.

Ingredients & Macro's:

Filling:
2 Tbsp 0% Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp PB2
1/2 Scoop Vanilla About Time Vegan Protein Powder (any powder should work)
*Optional: A pinch of Stevia sweetener (only use it if you absolutely need it to be sweeter)

Chocolate Coating:
1 Tbsp powdered cocoa
1/2 Scoop Chocolate About Time Vegan Protein Powder (any chocolate powder will do)
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil

Silicone Baking Cups (Recipe yields one cup, but you will likely make more than that!)

Logging shortcut: just log 1 scoop of vanilla protein (you know that you added 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 vanilla, but save yourself the time!)





Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, PB2, protein powder, and optional sweetener.  Keep mixing until thoroughly blended.  Mold into a small ball and then smash the top down (so that it will fit into the baking cup)

On the stovetop or microwave: melt the coconut oil on low and slowly add the cocoa powder and protein powder while mixing.  You need very little heat to melt the coconut oil!  Once well blended, pour the chocolate into a silicone baking cup.

Add the peanut butter ball, and press into the cup until the chocolate comes up over and covers the peanut butter.

Place cup in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.  Then remove and enjoy!
