I am sure you’re wondering how something so sweet and tasty isn’t a total calorie bomb. Simple — substitutions! Start by swapping out regular peanut butter for peanut butter powder (we use PB2) , and you’re left with a fibrous, protein powerhouse with a third of the calories of normal peanut butter! We used brown sugar in our recipe, though you could take the substitutions a level further and swap it out for Stevia or your favorite calorie-free sweetener for a dessert even lighter on your daily calorie count!
The only downside to this dessert? It’s so easy, you’ll want to make it daily! But would that be so bad? Rounding out at just 65 calories per serving, you could easily have this treat a few times a week!
