Healthy Recipe Series 1

Chocolate Protein Pudding Desert Thingy

Very often when I’m cutting weight for competition or just generally trying to trim down I get really bad cravings. Being a chocoholic, the below recipe has really helped me to break through those tough periods when I’m absolutely craving something sweet but don’t want to sabotage my progress. As follows:

150g Oats

190g Protein Powder (cookies and cream flavour)

100g Natural Peanut Butter (Crunchy)

15-20g Cadbury’s Bournville Cocoa Powder (to taste)

250mls low fat milk

Add the oats, protein powder and cocoa powder together in a mixing bowl and mix together. Then add the peanut butter and milk to the bowl and mash all ingredients together until consistency is the same throughout. Store in the fridge. I’ve eaten this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, snacks (but I’m weird like that) and it’s really portable so no more excuses about not being able to fit in your meals. It actually tastes “Snickersy” to coin a term.

It might not look that great (I actually think it looks tasty) but it’s a really good substitute for those moments of weakness. Not only that but there’s not a bad ingredient in sight with slow release carbs, healthy fats, protein and antioxidants all in one. Below is the nutritional value per 100g:

Calories: 299

Fat: 10.6g

Carbs: 20.5g

Protein: 30.3g
