Peanut Butter Cup Protein Pudding

July 9, 2014 By Heather Blackmon

.

I spend a lot of time in the gym. Training for my second bikini competition, I’m at the gym 6 days a week to lift heavy weights. Part of making sure that the time I spend lifting is most effective, is refueling with the proper nutrition when I finish. Why? Your body needs the carbohydrates and protein to replenish what it used and build muscle. I’m simplifying a bit, but that’s the main idea.

When I hit the gym early in the day, I almost always have a post-workout smoothie. However, I’ve been doing fasted cardio in the morning recently, so my strength session in the evening. That change in timing has me craving something a little different, something more like dessert.

That’s where this post-workout pudding recipe came in! I finished my evening workout a few weeks ago and was craving the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. Since I didn’t have fat scheduled for my post-workout meal, I reached for my stash of peanut flour. I wanted to keep Vega protein powder in the mix for the added BCAAs and Glutamine, so I combined the two for the best of both. A little stevia to sweeten things up was all the extra flavor needed to satisfy my craving, while hitting my fueling needs!

This is one of those recipes that is almost too simple to share, but I decided that you could decide for yourself. I pair this with a pile of fresh fruit, to add whole food carbs and round out the meal. And really, who has the energy to whip up anything complicated after a good sweat session at the gym, anyway?

  1. Mix together peanut flour and protein powder. Sprinkle stevia and mix together. Add water, a little at a time, mixing until the desired consistency. I like to make my pretty thick for a rich pudding texture, but you could add a little extra water and use it as a topping. Serve with fresh fruit for a complete snack.

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
