Sweet and delicious pumpkin fudge, but guess what? Its healthy!
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter, smooth
  • 4 x 30 gram scoops (or 1 cup) vanilla whey protein powder (I used Whey Gourmet)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 packets stevia (I used Krisda stevia)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp walnuts, chopped (I use walnut crumbs that are pre-chopped)
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl mix together all ingredients (except walnuts) until smooth, a whisk works best.  Mixture should be thick and sticky.  Using a rubber spatula, spread into a small pan (I used a 6 x 9 rectangular glass dish).
  2. Place in the freezer for approx 1 hour.  If left in the freezer too long, place at room temperate.  Within 5 minutes, they will be easy to cut with a sharp knife.
  3. Cut into 6 large squares. These can be individually wrapped and stored in the freezer for a quick snack.
Notes
Warning: They will melt down if left at room temperature for too long, so best enjoyed within 10-15 minutes out of the freezer.
