Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
Y'all, it's time to ROCK some Shakeology worlds!!! This is for those concerned about noisy morning blenders, those that don't want to drink a shake (I don't understand this, but that's ok), not having time to make stuff, or NEEDING that sweet treat. PLUS...This is NOT a refeed item so you can have it any, and every day.
Step 2 (after mashed bananas, water and peanut butter are well blended, heat in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Or you can heat before, whatever your preference is, just make sure you do this step BEFORE adding Shakeology.
I used Vegan Chocolate in this recipe, but you could use Vanilla or Cafe Latte just the same and it doesn't matter if it's the Whey or Vegan formula (I'm lactose intolerant so I use Vegan). You can also call them "Amaze Bars" because they are pretty AMAZING! Each is equivalent to ❤️💜🥄 , but if you need a green, add spinach before blending and that works too. But make sure you blend long enough because no one wants to bite in a chocolate bar and get a spinach leave :/
Last step, smooth batter into a longer size tupperware so bark won't be too thick, otherwise it's hard to bite into. 4" x 6" is good.
This is super simple to make and you’ll store them in the freezer to grab-and-go so feel free to double, or triple, the batch. They will disappear well before they could ever go bad.
These are NOT to take in your purse for later or you will have a sloppy mess and hate me; these are a 'remove and eat now' kind of thing.
FYI - Freezing Shkeology is fine, but it should not be heated over 175 degrees or it will lose it's nutritional content. No one wants that because there is good stuff in here and 70 Superfoods in one meal is hard to come by for this price! Can't beat a nutritious $5 meal!
Then enjoy, you don't have to share if you don't want to! This is ONE PORTION!
Ingredients:
1/2 Banana (mashed),
1/4 cup water,
1 tsp peanut butter
Add the above ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and once stirred together, heat for 30 sec in the microwave to soften. Mix with electric hand mixer.
Then add 1 scoop/packet of whatever flavor you choose of Shakeology and mix until smooth. (AGAIN, you do not want to heat shakeology, it looses it's nutritional goodness so it's important to add AFTER microwaving). Keep this in mind if you add coffee to your shakes...add cooled coffee for an iced coffee shake or just buy Cafe Latte and make life easy!
This is vanilla, 1/2 banana, peanut butter
Lightly spray flat container with olive/coconut oil (I used olive oil). Put mixture into a long container and smooth out into corners and tap to level out. If you use a short container the bar will be very thick and harder to bite into. Place lid on container and freeze 3-4 hours. Bar should be hard when you try to remove it so if it's not, leave it in the freezer longer.
Remove from container and wrap in aluminum foil. Store in freezer. ENJOY!!!
Updated based on questions I've received, yes, you can also use Strawberry or Greenberry! I'd use berries, peaches, kiwi, or pineapple instead of banana if you want. You can add berries to Vanilla as well. There is no wrong way to eat this!!
