Protein PBJ Reece’s Cups
A layered protein treat featuring chocolate, peanut butter, and jelly flavors combined into full-size cup portions. These cups are freezer-stored and offer a balanced macro profile for a satisfying snack or dessert.
Method
-
Line a muffin tin with 6 liners (parchment paper is super easy to peel off).
-
In 3 separate bowls, stir together each layer until well mixed.
-
Spoon mixture into the muffin cups (pictured are half the chocolate with the rest for the top, but you can assemble these in any order).
-
Freeze for about 10 minutes between layers if you want them well separated, or if you’re impatient you can just do it all at once for a marbled effect.
-
Store these in the freezer. Let them thaw for just a minute before biting in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of PB2?
You can substitute natural peanut butter, but it will increase the fat content significantly and alter the texture. You may need to adjust the amount of water accordingly.
What if I don’t have sugar free jelly?
You can use any low sugar or no sugar jelly or jam as a substitute. Alternatively, omit the jelly layer entirely to reduce carbs and calories.
Can I make these without egg whites?
Egg whites add protein and help with texture. You could try replacing them with a plant-based protein powder mixed with a little water, but the texture and flavor will be different.
How long do these cups keep in the freezer?
Stored properly in an airtight container, these cups can last up to 1 month in the freezer.
Can I make these ahead for meal prep?
Yes, these are ideal for meal prep. Make a batch, store in the freezer, and grab one as a quick protein-rich snack whenever you want.
