Berry Pudding/Yogurt Dessert

Ingredients:

2 cups fat free milk
1 box sugar&fat free cheesecake pudding
1 cup Fage yogurt
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tsp vanilla(or coconut) extract 
1/2 cup strawberry
1/2 cup blackberrys
20 (approx) Reduced Fat nilla wafers
*I added a bit of granola for topping but you could also add some cool whip.

Beat milk and pudding together in a bowl. Add 1 cup greek yogurt and protein powder. Mix on low. 
Layer dish with vanilla wafers on the bottom for a crust and alternate fruit and pudding until layered! 
I add granola and strawberrys for topping to make it look pretty, but you could also add Cool Whip on the top. 

In other layered dishes, I add a layer of  strawberry Jelly (which means I basically just beat 2 cups of strawberries until liquid), so you could play around with that as well!

Refrigerate and enjoy!

A little nutrition information: Blackberries and Strawberries both are low sugar fruits!! So it truly is guilt free! 
 

Protein Chocolate Bars

Adapted from Healthyindulgences.net
Mock Protein/Atkins Bars

Makes four bars

Ingredients:
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (any nut butter would work)
2 tablespoons organic unsalted butter OR coconut oil
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons heavy cream OR coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pure stevia extract (I used NuNaturals)
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup whey protein powder (check for additives and carb content)

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add nut butter, honey, and butter to a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for one minute. Remove and immediately whisk in vanilla extract and heavy cream or coconut milk. Stir in sweetener and pinch of salt. Taste and adjust if necessary. Stir in protein powder until mixture clumps together. Don’t worry if it separates and some of the liquid weeps out of the dough. Press mixture as flat as you can into a greased loaf pan. I like to place a piece of wax paper over the dough and press it flat with a smaller loaf pan. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan. The dough will absorb all of the liquid that has bubbled up. Slice with a sharp knife and store in baggies. Does not need to be refrigerated.

Naked protein bars. Consume with gulps of water between bites.


Take your protein bars to the next level. Melt some 85% cacao content chocolate and sweeten it with stevia, to taste. Paint it across the bottoms of the protein bars with the small end of a spoon. Place chocolate side down on a chilled pan lined with wax paper. Make a recipe of the caramel sauce and spread it over the tops of the protein bars. Press sliced almonds into the caramel sauce. Paint chocolate over the tops and sides. Chill to firm up the chocolate. Place in a baggy for transport in your gym bag.

From drab to fab! I present to you mock Atkins bars, covered in dark chocolate and filled with caramel bars with a nice crunch from slivered almonds:


No preservatives or soy in that delicious bite.

DELICIOUS banana stuffed french toast!
