Filed under Low carb recipes
I wanted to do a new low carb video to welcome in the new year. These were a big hit at all my holiday family functions even with my non-low carbing family members. Most never new they were eating low carb fudge. The original recipe can be found here: www.genaw.com 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter 2 ounces softened cream cheese 1 cup Splenda 2/3 cup Vanilla Whey protein powder * Microwave the butter and peanut butter on HIGH for 1 minutes; mix thoroughly. * Mix in the cream chees * Add the Splenda and the whey protein powder until well combined. * Line a 8 x 8″ baking pan with nonstick foil. Spread the fudge and press out with another nonstick piece of foil or plastic wrap. * Chill for one hour. Makes around 20 pieces.

@anotherjoe50 In all (or almost all) my recipes if you expand the video description, I’ll have the ingredients, steps to prepare, and nutritional facts. From this video description:

@nightxhawk95: I do Atkins not for weight loss but to control diabetes. On the American Diabetes Association (high carb/low fat) diet my blood fluctuated and rose to high levels. On Atkins, my blood sugar is normal without insulin or drugs 24/7. The standard recommended high carb/low fact diet is the thing that’s “reallllly bad”. The sharp rise in obesity and Type II diabetes since it’s adoption by the nutrition establishment proves that.
Great job! On this & other recipes. Clear explanation. I like the fact that it’s an average kitchen with average utensils, etc. that anybody would have. Suggestion: Could you give estimated carb counts and serving sizes?
@sandyabernathy I completely agree.
Hi protien, low carb is the only way to go! Atkins is a good diet!
@adamscott use more butter and peanut butter and less protein powder. Made this 3 times, first two times it came out perfect. last time i made it the mix came out crumbly because i used less butter
@sarahsweet85 how’s that tin foil hat working out for you?
@nightxhawk95 You mean the 211 pounds I lost, 50 points off my total cholesterol, improved heart function, lower blood pressure, improved fitness, and overall excellent health that I should give them back. It would seem you live in bizarro world where good things are ” realllllllllly bad.”
atkins diet is realllllllllly bad for you
@sarahsweet85 I have tried the recipe with Stevia extracts (natural Stevia is way too bitter for me), and it didn’t turn out as well.
The safety of Splenda in the limited amounts I use does not concern me. I have had zero side effects and not impacted by it. As for the dangers of microwaves, I haven’t believed the conspiracy theories beyond simply not using a specific type of plastic bowls in the microwave. Feel free to experiment with alternative versions recipes though.
I think your recipes are great but Splenda is a chlorine derivative and Aspertame is deadly, a better choice would be Stevia, which is an herb or Just Like Sugar (chicory). One more suggestion…the microwave turns food into carcinogens, which cancels out any easy conveniences derived from it’s use.
No not me personally, but reported below was that it worked great.
OMG! Love it. And my Wife liked it to, shes very finicky.
Have you ever made it using chocolate flavoured protein powder?
MMM thank you SO much !! This looks so yummy <3
Hmmm…
Perhaps the butter or the whey protein was at fault. I really have never had a problem with it being crumbly.
This tastes pretty good but for some reason despite using the recommended portions, when I make it it’s very crumby
They came out great. Thanks Kent.
I have actually made a video on just this topic… Do a Youtube search on “Atkins Diet I’ve cheated what now?” The short answer is why did you cheat, and that’ll help you determine what you should do going forward. Basically if you cheated because you wanted to for a single meal, made a conscious decision to and stopped when done, then you can probably pick up where you left off. If it became a carb graze with out of control eating, then Induction. Watch the video, it explains more clearly.
hey kent, I’m on my 4th week of atkins now, and i cheated a bit during christmas:( what should I do now? I lost 15.4lbs and now I gained back 3lbs. should I go back on induction? or continue?
loves peanut butter fudge YUM!
Should do fine. I have seen other recipes with chocolate powder instead.
Would chocolate protein powder be okay (as far as taste is concerned)?
Yep — but no changing it now…
Should have been affect instead of effect in the beginning…
I really like Isopure Zero Carb, but Optimum Nutrition is pretty good too (higher carb though).
