Chocolate Protein Pie



Ingredients:
2 boxes of sugar-free fat-free instant Jell-O pudding mix
2 cups Calorie Countdown milk or skim milk
1your favorite chocolate protein bar


1 tub fat-free, sugar-free, or lite Cool Whip
2 scoops your favorite chocolate protein shake


1 reduced-fat graham cracker pie crust




Chop up the protein bar. In a big bowl, whisk the milk with half of the Cool Whip. Now whisk in the pudding mix and protein powder. Pour into the crust, spoon other half of Cool Whip over the top, and add the chopped protein bar.


I like to mix up some of my protein bar chuncks in with the cool- whip filling to have a chuncky filling.
Refrigerate for awhile and enjoy.


This should have around 20 grams of protein per slice.


Ideas and Options
• You have two ways to make this into a totally different pie: Change the protein flavor and change the pudding mix flavor.
Try white chocolate pudding mix and vanilla protein powder.
The vanilla protein works with any pudding powder really: pistachio, butterscotch, lemon, etc. You can also use banana cream or strawberry protein powder with vanilla pudding.


Top it with walnuts, pecans, almonds and fresh sliced banana or strawberry.


Top a vanilla pie with a cookie dough protein bar for even more variety.
• Use two scoops of protein powder for a thicker, cheesecake-like texture. Use one scoop for a lighter, fluffier texture.
• Want to add some fiber? Toss in a serving of Benefiber or Fibersure, both gritless fiber supplements.
• Want to maximize the chocolaty goodness? Pour some Smuckers sugar-free hot fudge topping into a squeeze bottle and drizzle over the top.
