We all have that one "treat" out there that we have a weakness for. Now I LOVE Reece's Peanut Butter Cups but I don't like what is in them. When I found out that I could make a healthy version of them I was over the moon! There are many variations of the recipe. Here is one that takes a minimal amount of time and work!
Chocolate Shakeology Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 scoops vegan chocolate Shakeology
- 1 tbsp. psyllium husk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 6 tsp. natural peanut butter
Place chocolate chips in a small bowl and heat until melted. Place shakeology, psyllium husk and pumpkin in food processor. Pulse until it forms into a dough. Divide dough into 12 small balls and portion into cupcake liners. Press down into liners until flat. Make an indentation for the peanut butter. Drizzle peanut butter into hole. Pour 1/2 tsp. of melted chocolate on top. Freeze for 30 minutes.

There are many other variations to this recipe. There are also a ton of other dessert recipes using Shakeology. Next time you are craving chocolate or something sweet take a few minutes to whip up a dessert that is full of super foods and healthy ingredients!
Here are some of the highlights of Chocolate Vegan Shakeology:
•
Plant based. As you know, the new formula is 100%
plant-based and the health benefits of a plant-based lifestyle are well
documented — from lower cholesterol and lower risk for heart disease,
cancer, and diabetes – to easier weight management and fewer digestive
issues.
No animals allowed. Give your system a break from
heavy animal proteins by replacing one meal a day with Chocolate Vegan
Shakeology®. There are also theories that eating meat which arrived on
your plate through the brutal process of factory farming can contribute
to added stress. Plant-based foods can help calm the body from the
inside out.
•
Superfoods! Chocolate Vegan includes 5 new
superfoods: moringa, coconut flower nectar, luo han guo, Himalayan salt,
and konjac root. All key nutrients come from natural whole foods. There
are no added vitamin or mineral isolates and no fortification.
Moringa is
called the “Tree of Life,” because it is one of nature’s most
nutritious foods. It contains 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants along
with ALL of the essential amino acids. Plus, according to some studies,
moringa can help boost energy, lead to faster recovery, and balance out
blood sugar levels.
•
All natural chocolate. The way nature intended.
Ever wonder what cacao tastes like right out of the pod from the cacao
tree? It’s rich, earthy chocolate taste is derived solely from
whole-food ingredients with no additional flavoring agents.
•
Freedom. Chocolate Vegan is lactose and dairy
free. If you’re lactose intolerant or have trouble digesting whey
protein, then this is the shake for you. Most people have trouble
digesting dairy, whey protein, or animal proteins and don’t even know
it—until they try a plant-based protein meal and can immediately feel a
difference.
•
Sugar is the devil and Fructose is a thing of the past.
Chocolate Vegan is made with coconut flower nectar and luo han duo —
two whole-food superfoods that are so naturally sweet, there’s no need
to add fructose.
•
This is a BIG ONE – protein. One of the most
common questions vegans get is, “How do you get your protein?” Well,
plants have protein and so does Vegan Shakeology – 16 grams per serving.
Chocolate Vegan and Tropical Strawberry are crafted from an
easy-to-assimilate blend of whole, plant-based proteins including
sprouted brown rice, pea, sacha inchi, chia, flax, quinoa, amaranth, and
spirulina. Not only do they offer 9 essential amino acids, but together
they are a complete protein source with sufficiently high levels of
lysine and methionine, two important amino acids that are often a
limiting factor in plant-based diets. To put it simply – you don’t need
30 grams of protein with all the other nasty stuff, when you have 16
grams packed with the best stuff.
