Progress! and a new recipe.

Hello all! I know I haven't posted in awhile but I have a new HCG friendly recipe to share with you.  My boss at work isn't doing HCG, she is doing Metafast, and we are struggling through this weight loss journey together via differnt roads, but the goal is the same.  She gave me this recipe and I am ADDICTED! Now first let me say to any HCG'ers out there, that this is rogue for P2 and probably ok in P3, but I am on R2P2D15 and I have not gained one day from eating these, in fact, I think they may be helping me lose.  So far I am down 14 lbs this round, about a lb a day, and 40.8 lbs since January 4, 2014. Ill take it!

So here is the recipe:


Healthy Peanut Buttert Cups

(THE RECIPE IS FROM THIS BLOG: http://fitfoodiefinds.com/2013/06/healthy-peanut-butter-cups/ )

Bottom Layer:
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (all-natural)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 drops of liquid stevia (or to taste)
Top Layer:
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup natural smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • optional: unsweetened coconut
Method
Line a mini muffin tray with 12 cupcake lines (I used the reusable kind). Stir all ingredients for the bottom layer together until smooth ( you may have to melt the coconut oil and peanut butter for 20 seconds to get them to mix well) and divide between the wells (each should be about half full). Put the tray in the freezer on a flat surface and freeze until solid (It took mine about 10 minutes). Meanwhile, stir all ingredients together for the top layer until smooth (again, you may have to heat the coconut oil and peanut butter for 20 seconds to get them to mix well) and divide on top of the set chocolate mixture. Return to the freezer and freeze until solid (it took me an additional 10 minutes). Store the treats in the freezer.
Yield: 12 peanut butter cups.
