Ingredients for No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Lasagna:

This high protein no bake chocolate peanut butter lasagna is made with layers of healthy with sugar free base, protein puddings and a low fat whipped cream too.

The Base

Pretzels
Rice Krispies Cereal
Chocolate flavor Peanut Butter; I used Yabba Dabba Delicious Peanut Butter from American Dream Nut Butter (code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount on these). It’s lower fat and higher protein than normal, and just amazing .
ADNB has other amazing flavors that would work well here too.
Cocoa Powder
Sugar free Chocolate flavored Syrup; These Skinny Syrups from Jordan’s are what I use.

Non-fat Greek Yogurt
Vanilla Protein Powder; I used Quest Nutrition Vanilla here.
Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
This gives a low fat and low calorie peanut butter pudding.
Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix: I used this sugar free and fat free one from Simply Delish. If you can’t find it, Jello is a great option too.
A bit of Unsweetened Almond Milk
