Nutella has long enjoyed a massive cult following.

There’s even a World Nutella Day, believe it or not. The event was started by a blogger in 2007 and is still going strong, with people from all over the world joining the celebration.

If it sounds crazy to revere a snack food, then you’ve probably never tried Nutella.

For Nutella lovers, the only question is: How can we enjoy this delicious concoction without completely botching our meal plans?

The answer lies in these Nutella recipes, which combine Nutella with healthier, lighter takes on classic dessert, breakfast, and post-workout meals.

From protein-rich Nutella Protein Cake Bites and Nutella Strawberry Protein Cheesecake to No-Bake Nutella Energy Bars, Nutella Overnight Oats, and a Banana Nutella Protein Shake, these recipes will satisfy a sweet tooth without wrecking your diet.

If you find that you keep blowing your food budget on Nutella, you can even make your own homemade version—“No-tella”—from cocoa powder, hazelnuts, and ripe avocado.

Enjoy!

Nutella Stuffed Pancakes

Not only are these delicious, but they look awesome and will wow everyone at the table.

2/3 cup Nutella

1 1/2 cups flour

 Nutella Pancakes with Roasted Strawberries

Upgrade your two-ingredient pancakes with a swirl of Nutella. Mash up a couple bananas, beat in the eggs, and add sweetener like stevia if desired.

It might not be necessary, though, thanks to the natural sugar from the bananas. And if you have a few more minutes, you can roast some berries to go on top for more flavor without using much maple syrup.

Serves 4

Ingredients

12 strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

Flourless Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookies

Win over anyone who doesn’t love oatmeal cookies with this recipe. These have a soft texture because they’re flourless. In fact, they’re made from more nut better than anything else.

Aside from that, you’ll just need baking basics to finish the cookie dough: brown sugar, milk, baking soda, and salt.

If you’d rather avoid the egg for vegan cookies, use a tablespoon of chia seeds, and substitute your non-dairy milk of choice.

Serves 16

Ingredients

1 large egg

1/4 cup brown sugar

Nutella Protein Brownies

These whey protein brownies don’t use any flour at all. There are two things that keep the texture soft. First, the hazelnut oil helps to make the brownies moist.

The real secret, though, is mashed sweet potato. That and a little coconut flour make these the perfect fudgy brownies that are satisfying but also good for you.

Serves 9

Ingredients

2 scoops WHEY+ chocolate protein isolate

1 large egg

1 egg white

2 1/2 Tbsp. hazelnut butter (or almond butter)

3/4 cup mashed sweet potato

3 Tbsp. nonfat plain Greek yogurt

2 Tbsp. coconut flour

2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Bites

Instead of reaching for Nutella to slather on everything in your pantry, grab this chocolate hazelnut snack.

And since the protein bites only require four ingredients to make, you can easily keep what you need on hand for when a craving hits.

These chocolate hazelnut bites can be made with any kind of protein powder, like whey, but you may need to adjust the mixture a little bit.

Some coconut oil or almond butter can add moisture and bring the ingredients together if it’s looking too dry.

Serves 8

Chickpea Nutella Cookies

Nutella Cookies recipe Picture courtesy of My Fussy Eater

If you want cookies but would rather avoid wheat flour, there are plenty of alternatives. One of the most creative is to mash up a can of chickpeas.

Garbanzo beans rank low on the glycemic index – even below whole-wheat flour – which means you’re snacking on complex carbs that help regulate blood sugar levels.

So you can enjoy the natural sweetness of honey and a few chocolate chips without worrying that you’re wolfing down empty calories.

Serves 12

Ingredients

1 can (14.5 oz.) chickpeas, drained and patted dry

1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

3 Tbsp. pure honey

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking powder

While you’re at it, add a scoop of fruity or vanilla-flavored protein powder. The result might seem like the kind of mixture to drink like a smoothie, but when you spoon it instead, you can add toppings like granola, Nutella, and Greek yogurt.

Serves 1

Ingredients

3/4 cup frozen strawberries

Nutella Overnight Oats

Skip the sugary cereal, and make this Nutella breakfast instead.

Overnight oats have a well-balanced mix of complex carbs and protein, especially if you add Greek yogurt and chia seeds. From there, mix in other flavors depending on what you’re craving and the nutrition you need.

Nutella is a comparable mix-in to peanut butter, except it has less protein and about 10 grams of added sugar per tablespoon.

That’s not going to wreck your healthy oatmeal breakfast, but if it’s a concern for you, make a homemade chocolate hazelnut butter so you can control the macros.

Serves 1

Ingredients

1/3 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Nutella Frozen Yogurt

This recipe for Nutella frozen yogurt will work whether you have an ice cream maker or not.

So everyone can give it a try as long as you have chocolate hazelnut butter, cocoa powder, and yogurt. Even non-dairy yogurt like almond or coconut would work too.

If you don’t have any fancy equipment, blend everything together until well mixed, and freeze in an airtight container.

Stir once every hour for three hours to keep it soft and creamy, and if you want to save it to enjoy another day, let the frozen yogurt defrost for a half hour before digging in.

Serves 7

Banana Nutella Protein Shake

Even though there’s nutritional content in almost everything you could eat, a Nutella milkshake is usually far from healthy with a base of ice cream, hazelnuts, and chocolate.

Protein Nutella Bread

Looking for a nutritious alternative to banana bread? Believe it or not, you can start with Nutella.

This banana bread is made from a chocolate whey protein powder instead of whole-wheat flour, eggs to act as a binder, and Nutella in place of butter or oil.

This flourless banana bread recipe also includes instructions to make a version of homemade Nutella, which is made from roasted hazelnuts and liquid stevia. If you pick up a brand-name jar at the store, it’ll add more calories, mostly in the form of sugar.

Serves 12

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
