Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard

Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard

I’ve been waiting a long time to try and post this new recipe of mine. Growing up as a child, some of my fondest memories were going to half off movies with my pops and getting Reeses Peanut Cup Blizzards.

Fast forward to today and I still LOVE Reeses Peanut Cup Blizzards but I’ve learn to TRACK my macronutrient intake so I can still enjoy the foods I love while maintaining a lean/shredded and healthy physique. So I still go out with friends and family and usually get a small or medium blizzard, however this recipe is EASY to make at home and is lower in calories!

The Recipe

  • 262g Breyer’s 1/2 the Fat Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
  • 31g Skim Milk
  • 44g (5 pcs.) No Sugar Added Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

  • 1/2 Tsp. Home-made Sweetener (266g Erythritol/3g Stevia)

*OPTIONAL: If you don’t mind a few more calories and are looking for a HIGHER PROTEIN version you can add Vanilla Whey protein AND/OR Quest Nutrition’s Peanut Butter Cups

  1. Start blending the ice cream, milk, xanthum gum, and Sweetener of choice
  2. Chop up the Reese Cups and add them into the ice cream mix thoroughly
