Lower Calorie Ingredient Swaps

• Swap milk for almond milk. A cup of reduced fat milk is approx. 130 calories whilst a cup of almond milk is approx. 30 calories

• Swap peanut butter for pb2 - just make sure to mix it with a little water but be careful not to make it too watery because you want the sticky binding consistency. Personally, I prefer to use the regular peanut butter

• Remove the extra peanuts on top if you're looking to shed off a few calories
