Yes you do deserve a treat today. Think of it as a reward for saying no to cake at the office staff party. Or perhaps when you ordered salad over fries at the pub earlier this week. You won’t even feel guilty while indulging in this tasty treat. Packed full of protein with a chocolate peanut butter twist.  What’s the secret ingredient you ask? Well it’s PGX.

PGX is a non-starch polysaccharide (fibre) with a very high water-absorbing capacity. When consumed with meals, PGX lowers the glycemic index of food eaten while decreasing appetite. PGX mixes instantly in water or juice but can also be sprinkled onto any moist food, yogurt, fruit salad, oatmeal, soup, any low-calorie beverage or meal replacement.  I’ve been sampling some of the Bioclinic Naturals products and especially enjoyed the meal replacement shakes which kept me full for hours.

Here’s a recipe for my favorite guiltless sweet treat. Better then a Reese peanut butter cup. You’ll love it!

Chocolate Nut Butter - PGX Protein Pudding

2/3 cup plain 0% MF Greek yogurt, organic
½ scoop FitSmart chocolate dream protein powder
2 tsp nut peanut butter, organic
1 serving of PGX powder

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well until blended. 

This pudding contains 175 calories, 24 grams of protein, 9 grams carbogydrates, 8 grams fibre. The perfect post workout snack or enjoy as a quick breakfast on the go. It even tastes great frozen.  Sometimes I omit the nut butter and add I/2 cup diced frozen raspberries or banana.  Trust me I know you'll enjoy eating this!
