Peanut Butter Protein Fudge
High protein, zero guilt
I won’t lie- it’s best to keep these in the freezer so they are out of sight, out of mind! I was craving something sweet, and after reading the ingredients in store-bought protein bars, I decided to make my own high-protein option.
For those trying to increase their protein intake and love chocolate, these are helpful. With a peanut butter base, unsweetened cocoa powder, whey protein powder, sunflower microgreens, and honey, these taste like a rich fudge, but with much fewer calories and much more protein. They are also quick to put together- a win when you have a chocolate craving but don’t want to give in to junk food.
Gluten-Free
They are gluten-free and soft, so are best kept refrigerated. If you want to keep them out of the fridge or freezer without them becoming sticky, turn them into little balls instead of squares and roll them in a graham cracker crumb (regular or gluten-free).
I recommend using a ‘clean’ protein powder- no sweeteners, flavors, or additives. Use a natural peanut butter or almond butter if you prefer, without added oil or sugar.
