Peanut Butter Cups for Supplements

Even though Nora has successfully weaned down to the less restrictive Modified Atkins Diet, she still takes a daily vitamin and calcium supplement: 1/4 of an adult Centrum and 500 mg of calcium citrate daily.

For the last six months or so, I’ve been using a simplified, modified version of Christy’s B^3 recipe.

  • 2 adult Centrum
  • 16 capsules of Solaray calcium citrate (each capsule is 250 mg)
  • 40 g of butter
  • 80 g of Adam’s peanut butter

I grind the multivitamin with a mortar and pestle, break open the calcium citrate capsules, and mix it all in with the butter and peanut butter mixture.  I warm it slightly then pour it into 8 small silicone cups and put them in the fridge to solidify.  Each cup then has approximately 1/4 of a multivitamin and 500 mg of calcium citrate, along with 10 g of peanut butter and 5 g of butter.  The vitamin is bitter and the calcium citrate is chalky, but the peanut butter seems to do a good job of masking it.

Per cup:

  • 1.25 g carb
  • 2.19 g protein
  • 9.29 g fat
  • 0.63 g fiber
  • 2.70 ratio
