Question Would this work?

I'm wondering if this would work for upping the fat intake. I still have a sweet desire, and am trying to avoid nuts.

Regular recipe is -
2 tbsp peanut butter / nut butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 scoop whey protein
liquid stevia
mix, lay out and freeze

so my idea is -
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 or 2 tbsp Da Vinci flavour
1 scoop pumpkin protein (can't have whey)
liquid stevia to taste

Any thoughts? Will this help up fat?

No, your 2nd recipe has less fat because you took out the peanut butter.

I haven't tried pumpkin protein but it might taste bad. Have you tried it? I use eggwhite protein (Now brand).

Do you like chocolate? A lot of people mix coconut oil, chocolate (or cocoa powder), sweetener, and nuts to make a chocolate bark. That's tasty.

thanks for the input. I also have rice protien (no carbs in it) that might be better then the pumpkin. Can't use chocolate, but bark is what I'm trying to do - minus the nuts too. Well, I guess I shall just give it a try!! It is some fat in the coconut.
