One of America’s finest exports, the humble peanut butter and jelly (or jam, if you prefer!) sandwich is the perfect post-run snack.


This recipe takes everything that’s great about the PB&J and turns it into an even tastier protein cake that you can pre-prepare.


Give it a go!

  2. Blend until the mixture is smooth and spread the jam over the top of the cookie base.

  3. Then put the mixture into the freezer.


For the peanut butter topping



  1. Mix the peanut butter with coconut milk and maple syrup. Stir until well combined, smooth and creamy.

  2. Pour the peanut butter mix on top of the jelly layer, spreading the cream evenly.

  3. Sprinkle with raw cacao nibs and place back to the freezer at least 2 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and enjoy!
