I love Nutella, but I don't like wasting 200 calories and 11g of fat on 2 tbsp of it. I made my own today for only 80 calories and 3g of fat. Granted, it's not made with hazelnuts, but you get the same kind of taste with this. I used some in a smoothie this morning (I call it Nutella pumpkin Smoothie...YUM!) and I also put some on my whole wheat toast today for lunch. It was delicious!!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp PB2 powder (basically ground peanuts without the add fat like in peanut butter)
2-3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (I used 3 and it came out with a rich dark chocolate taste)
1 tsp of raw natural honey (if you like yours really sweet, you could always add a little more)
about 2 tbsp of Water
In a small bowl, add PB2 and cocoa. Whisk together with a whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Add honey and 1 tbsp water. Mix well. Add another tbsp of water if it's too thick. You can add as much or as little water as you like depending on your desired consistency. Enjoy!
*I think there is a PB2 powder that already has cocoa added to it, so you could just omit the cocoa if you have that kind.
*If you are not fond of a rich dark chocolate taste, you could use a little less cocoa and a little more honey and it should dial the flavor down a little. I love the dark chocolate taste though!
