30|- This sets firmer in the fridge.
31|- Make at night, breakfast is waiting. Or prep at start of week.

33|## Why this works
34|
35|GLP-1 doesn't kill your sweet tooth—it just shrinks your appetite. This satisfies sugar cravings while delivering dense protein. No sugar crash afterward.

37|## Recommended Products

46|
47|- **Natural peanut butter** — For the PB swirl. [Natural peanut butter](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Natural+peanut+butter&tag=glpspot-20) adds healthy fats and flavor.
