Protein First: Peanut Butter Cups – T Nation Content – COMMUNITY

by Chris Shugart

Sweet for Lifters

With 22 grams of protein every and no added sugar, one in all these makes an incredible snack. Two make a meal.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have been my favourite fat-boy sweet. Being a fats boy wasn’t so enjoyable, although. So lately I make my very own… with out sugar and with a number of additional protein and an enormous hit of flavanol-rich darkish chocolate. I name it protein-first eating. Get an enormous dose of protein in each meal and snack and the remainder of your weight-reduction plan autoregulates.

Here is Dani whipping up a batch of grown-up peanut butter cups:

Elements

Directions

1. First make the filling: To a bowl, add the MD Protein, PB2, salt, and milk. Stir till it is tremendous thick, like your mama. If wanted, add a bit of additional milk.
2. Now put together the chocolate: Toss the chocolate items right into a microwave-safe bowl and prime with MCT oil. Microwave for about 1 minute, stirring on the 30-second mark. If that is too darkish for you, whisk in a teaspoon of monk fruit sweetener after heating.
3. Now make the cups. Silicon cupcake liners (Buy at Amazon) work finest. (Paper sticks.) Add a spoonful of melted chocolate to the underside of every liner and swirl it round to cowl the perimeters. Add a couple of spoon of the filling to every, then the remainder of the chocolate to the highest.
4. Refrigerate till the chocolate units, about half-hour, and luxuriate in.

I’m undoubtedly making an attempt these however I’ll use powdered almond butter as a substitute of peanut butter. Has anybody found out an approximate price per serving?
