Yes, you read correctly. I did type "Fitness Fudge". Contrary to popular belief, I do eat more than cupcakes! In fact, I am a bit of a health nut; I run about 4 miles a day, lift weight and live for Pilates Recently, I discovered the health (and tasty!) benefits of Total Soy protein powder. Typically, I make the shake according to the directions then freeze it to make a yummy protein ice cream; however, after stumbling upon a delicious looking recipe for fudge using whey protein, I figured, "Why not soy protein?". And sure enough, it worked! Vegan Fitness Fudge calls for 4 ingredients: Total Soy protein powder, soy milk, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Each serving of this fudge (approx. 2 Tablespoons) packs a whopping 8 grams of protein and 125.7 calories! That's it! Now, these little gems did not photograph as nicely as my cupcakes, but do not let that fool you. Prepare for peanut butter- chocolatey goodness!
Stay Sweet,
