Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

I found this on Lowcarbfriends.com several years ago and loved it. I finally made it again today.

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup granular Splenda
2 oz cream cheese
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 ounce natural almonds (or 16 almonds)

Melt butter and whisk in Splenda. Add cream cheese and whisk until melted and well mixed. Whisk in protein powder and remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Pour into 8x8 pan lined with wax paper. Chill until semi soft, then cut into 16 pieces. Press 1 almond into the middle of each square and return to refrigerator until fully set.

Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake

I finally got around to making this recipe I found at Lowcarbfriends.

2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp imitation vanilla (or 1/4 tsp extract)
1 packet artificial sweetener (about 1 tsp Splenda)
a few dashes butter flavor sprinkles or butter-flavor extract
8 oz. water (or low-fat milk)
3 ice cubes

For the whole thing, I calculated:

It's pretty good. I added some sugar free Davinci syrup, and it was almost too sweet. I might leave out the sweetener altogether next time, because the pudding mix is pre-sweetened. This will be great for those days I don't want to eat "real" food.
