Guilt Free Protein Chocolate Truffles

GUILT FREE PROTEIN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Filling Ingredients

1/4 cup Chocolate Protein Powder ( I use Shakeology)

2 tbsp Almond Flour

1 heaping tbsp Cashew, Almond, Hazelnut, or Natural Peanut Butter (depending on your preference)

1/8 cup Raw Cocoa Powder

1/4 cup Coconut or Almond Milk

Coating Ingredients

3-4 squares of 100% Bakers Unsweetened Cocoa Chocolate Bar

1 square White Chocolate (optional, but great for decoration)

Directions

Mix all of the filling ingredients in a big bowl. Make sure to add what addition you prefer for the batter. If you like Nutella, for example, use hazelnut butter and a really chocolatey protein powder such as Shakeology. 

Once you achieve the right texture, shape the batter into eight balls and set them aside. Remember that if your batter is too sticky to shape, you should add a bit more cocoa powder. If it's too dry or crumbly, add a bit more milk.

Melt your dark chocolate by sticking it in the microwave or, if you're feeling fancy, melt it in a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water.

When your dark chocolate has melted, dunk the balls in them and transfer them to a plate or chopping board that's covered in foil or baking paper. This will help prevent the balls from sticking when you unmold them.

Finally, top your truffles with melted white chocolate, chopped nuts, chocolate flakes, or coconut flakes!

ENJOY!!

Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies

Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies

Ingredients:

    3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Jif Natural)

    6 oz. low fat vanilla greek yogurt (could use fat free)

    1/4 cup skim milk (or almond milk)

    1 large egg (or 2 egg whites)

    1/4 tsp Himalayan salt

    1 tsp baking powder

    1/2 cup light brown sugar

    1/2 c raw honey

    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

1.     Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 8×8 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2.     Place all of the ingredients except for the peanut butter into a blender or food processor. (Yes, a blender!) For easier blending, place the liquid ingredients into the blender first. Blend until mix is smooth and oats are ground up. You will have to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times.
3.     Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Batter will be thin. Microwave peanut butter for about 30 seconds. Drop melted peanut butter by spoonfuls onto the batter, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect. (Try not to over mix!)
4.     Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Brownies will be extra fudgy, so be sure to wait until COMPLETELY cooled - I stuck mine in the refrigerator for 2 hours, which allowed them to be cut very easily. 
5. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
