Triple Chocolate Proats

It's no secret I have a super sweet tooth!  I'm pretty much a certified chocoholic :) lol!  So, this is an absolutely delicious breakfast, or perhaps a post workout meal, that I came up with to satisfy my chocolate craving I was having this morning.

I've been doing a lot of various proat recipes lately because they are so quick and easy to prepare.  I loving how nourishing and filling proats are.  They are very versatile too; you can pair oatmeal with any flavor of protein you desire and incorporate your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds to suit your own taste.  Personally, my favorite flavors are chocolate, cinnamon, and peanut butter, so that's what's in this particular recipe <3

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pudding Cake

If you haven't noticed already, I am quite a fan of peanut butter!  I could probably put peanut butter on almost anything and enjoy it :) 

Not too long ago, I purchased PB2 after hearing so much buzz about this amazing powdered peanut butter.  PB2 has the same consistency as full fat peanut butter with all of the natural roasted peanut flavor, but with nearly 85% less fat calories.  PB2 is made with high quality peanuts that are slow-roasted and pressed to remove the oil.  It is all natural with no artificial flavors or sweeteners, and no preservatives.  PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is mixed with water to create a traditional peanut butter mixture.  It also works wonderfully in recipes that call for the use of peanut butter.

Since purchasing PB2, I have been looking for different ways to use it in my recipes!

And this folks, is an absolutely AMAZINGLY delicious recipe!

My Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pudding Cake is so moist and delicious, I seriously had to calculate all the ingredients and measurements several times to actually make sure it really was UNDER 150 CALORIES!!!  It is SO good I have eaten it for breakfast, before my workouts, and at night for dessert.  Yup, I may be slightly addicted to PB, but that's fine with me :)
