Cottage Cheese & Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Yes, it seriously works! Here's an unbelievable protein-packed Easter treat that's as delicious and easy to make! Introducing Low Fat Cottage Cheese & Peanut Butter Easter Eggs, the perfect healthy snack to fuel you in the morning or recharge you post-workout. With just three simple ingredients—low-fat cottage cheese, peanut butter powder, and a chocolate coating—these eggs are a fun and tasty way to indulge without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered peanut butter* (95g), such as PB Fit or PB2
- ½ cup low fat small curd cottage cheese (113g)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup of peanut butter powder with ½ cup cottage cheese, first USING A SPOON until most of the cottage cheese has been incorporated.
- Now use your hands to knead and compress the dough together.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape. If too soft, you can always refrigerate or freeze the filling before shaping.
- Once shaped, let the peanut butter filling cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.
- Coat the eggs in melted chocolate
- Drizzle with more chocolate (optional), then wait for the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy!
