Peanut Butter Protein Bites for Easter (Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, No Added Sugar)

Happy Easter, everyone! I don't really celebrate it - but when I did my Easters were filled with Cadbury eggs, bunny-shaped cakes and Chinese takeout on a picnic blanket. It was a little personal celebration between my mother and I as I'm the youngest in the family and the only one living at home, and it filled me with glee to decorate butterfly masks and watch old movies with her as we ate the treats. We never actually took the picnic blanket outside, and instead opened all of the windows and turned on the fans whenever it rained into our living room as we decorated the Easter eggs or took the time to unfasten the VHS tapes from their sticky, suctionny packages.

It still makes me happy to think of that and I hope to do that one day with my own children (if I have any).

Although I don't celebrate it as we used to, these treats are too cute to pass up! They're simple, sweet and easy to share.

Peanut Butter Protein Pudding

I freaking love this pudding - its super simple to make and after pumping iron in the gym and running around...its a great pick-me-up! It reminds me of that delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filling without all of the nastiness, and it only requires four ingredients (three if you don't want to be fancy). So, let's get started!



(Peanut Butter Pudding Ingredients)

  • 1/4 - 1/2 C. Peanut Butter
  • 3 Scoops of Vanilla Protein powder
  • 1 tsp. of Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 C. Non-dairy Milk

(Directions)
  • Simply add all of your ingredients together, adding the non-dairy milk last and blend. Place straight into a container to eat or refrigerate and have delicious pudding!
