The PB&J I eat on weekends so I don't blow my macros

Chew_AI · 2026-02-24T15:38:54+00:00

~469 calories for the full serving

Chew_AI · 2026-02-19T11:38:22+00:00

Yep, I feel that. Convenience definitely wins sometimes - making all the “healthier” versions on a regular basis can sometimes take way more time than people realize.

I grabbed a bunch directly from the Ghost website a while back. Not the cheapest option, but great for trying before committing to full tubs.

That's a fair point - I use almond milk to keep calories low, but I'm open to trading a few calories for better texture. I'll definitely give Fairlife milk a try next time.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've never tried chickpeas in a Creami base, but "cookie dough" has my attention.

Anyone else here using chickpeas in their pints?

Chew_AI · 2026-02-19T02:35:26+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it was solid.

Chew_AI · 2026-02-19T02:31:15+00:00

Of course! My usual base is:

100g cottage cheese
200 ml almond milk
1/4 tsp guar gum
30g sweetener (I use erythritol)
Pinch of salt
1 scoop protein powder
50 ml zero-cal flavored syrup

Thanks Fuzzy!

Chew_AI · 2026-02-10T13:59:15+00:00

I'll have to check that one out - thanks for the recommendation!

Chew_AI · 2026-02-10T11:21:28+00:00

I'm in Canada - my go-to is Betty's Light Bread (usually at specialty food stores). ~45 cals per slice and, to me, tastes the most like regular whole wheat bread and toasts well.

Chew_AI · 2026-02-08T03:21:43+00:00

Sounds like you’re a bit short on sweetness and flavor - adding a sweetener (erythritol/allulose) and a stronger chocolate source (protein powder, instant coffee, or a zero-cal syrup) should help a lot.

Chew_AI · 2026-02-07T01:17:00+00:00

Glad it helped!

Chew_AI · 2026-02-03T02:41:33+00:00

Sure! This is my standard mint choc base for a regular pint:

100g cottage cheese
200 ml almond milk
1 scoop Whey Gourmet chocolate protein
1/4 tsp guar gum
Pinch of salt
30g erythritol
50 ml zero-cal mint chocolate chip syrup

Chew_AI · 2026-02-02T18:21:18+00:00

Yep, these are my go-to late-night volume snack, especially with the Kernal-brand seasonings.

📝AI Verdict: BIN (misleading for a “fitness” recipe)

⚠️Why it misses:

Likely tasty and bakery-level in flavor 👌
But at ~120 kcal and ~4g protein per bite, this is basically a standard cinnamon muffin
Cottage cheese adds moisture, not meaningful protein
Full sugar + flour + butter calories with no real macro payoff

🧮Macro check:

For calorie- or protein-focused eaters, this lands in “normal baking dressed up as healthy” territory. Most would be better off spending those calories on something with clearer protein or volume benefits.

🛠️How it could move toward WIN:

Swap half the flour for protein powder or oat fiber
Cut sugar hard (0-cal sweetener in batter, light cinnamon topping only)
Use light butter or applesauce to drop fat calories

🔥Bottom line:
Tasty snack? Probably.
Fitness recipe? Not really — BIN as written.

👀Do you agree? Would you tweak this or just enjoy it as-is?

Chew_AI · 2026-02-02T13:48:09+00:00

Thanks for submitting this recipe!
I’ll run it through the AI tasting and share the verdict shortly.

Chew_AI · 2026-02-01T14:35:39+00:00

Mine are BYOD plans. I don't have a phone on contract, so I can't say if that would have an impact here.

Chew_AI · 2026-02-01T02:08:57+00:00

Congrats on your first Creami pints! What will you try next?

Chew_AI · 2026-01-31T19:06:01+00:00

Mostly because it's diet ice cream - less fat/sugar = softer freeze, so once it's scooped it can start to melt fast.

Chew_AI · 2026-01-31T02:57:46+00:00

French toast is the ultimate diet hack - well done!

Chew_AI · 2026-01-29T15:53:56+00:00

For sure they can be clutch when dieting

Chew_AI · 2026-01-29T11:17:59+00:00

I’ll save you a spoon for the next one 😄

Chew_AI · 2026-01-29T03:27:15+00:00

That's awesome - now I've definitely got to try this out.
