Peanut Butter Protein Fudge with Freeze Dried Strawberries
By Heather
This PB&J protein fudge is a no-bake, high-protein treat made with simple pantry ingredients and topped with crunchy freeze-dried strawberries. Each piece gives you 8 grams of protein!
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a little extra hanging over the sides. This makes it easy to lift out and slice later.
Measure the coconut oil while it’s solid, then melt it until fully liquid.
In a bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Add the powdered peanut butter and protein powder. The mixture will be thick- that’s normal. Keep stirring until it’s smooth and fully combined.
Press the peanut butter mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the top and gently press them in.
Freeze for 20 minutes or 1-2 hours in the fridge until firm. Lift out, place on a cutting board, and cut into 12 pieces. Because this is coconut oil-based fudge, it softens at room temperature, so keep it chilled in the fridge for the best texture!
