  I recommend a Whey like Peachie Spoon or American Dream (code HAYLSKITCHEN saves you 10% here)
• Rice Crispies Cereal: The secret ingredient for volume without adding much calories.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: For the rich chocolate flavor.
• Peanut Butter Powder: Delivers authentic peanut butter flavor with minimal fat.
  I use PB2 or PbFit

• Stevia Sweetener: Provides sweetness without the sugar.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk: The liquid base for blending.
• Peanut Butter: Used for a gooey, molten center.
