On The Menu: Week of September 15, 2025

Sharing all of the recipes I’m making this week as a busy mom of two on a realistic weight loss journey, prioritizing balance not restriction. Let me know which one you’re going to try first!

Snickers Yogurt Bowls (30g protein per serving)

***I used this exact recipe and just doubled it for 4 servings – details below.

makes 4 servings; cut in 1/2 for 2 servings or cut in 1/4 to make a single serving

INGREDIENTS

FOR PEANUT BUTTER YOGURT

  • 2.5 cups yogurt (I like Siggi’s plain yogurt but any greek yogurt option will work – the thicker/creamier the better)
  • 6 tbsp powdered peanut butter
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

FOR PEANUT BUTTER YOGURT TOPPING (snickers layer)

  • 4 tbsp peanut butter (optional: melt a little to make a liquid texture)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine all yogurt ingredients in a bowl. Whisk/stir until fully combined & no lumps remain.
  2. Divide yogurt mixture into 4 jars or small tupperware containers.
  3. Mix 4 tbsp peanut butter (slightly melted, optional) with 2 tbsp maple syrup. Stir to combine and smooth.
  4. Divide peanut butter/syrup mixture amongst the 4 jars and spread a thin layer on top of yogurt.
  5. Add coconut oil and chocolate chips to a small bowl, microwaving and stirring every 10-15 seconds until chocolate is fully melted.
  6. Dive and pour chocolate on top of peanut butter in each jar. Spread chocolate out to cover as much of the top of the yogurt/peanut butter.
  7. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt to each jar on top of chocolate.
  8. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  9. Enjoy!
