The 21 Day Fix Chocolate pumpkin cups are a clean, delicious treat that blends together my two favorite fall flavors – pumpkin and chocolate!
This post contains affiliate links for products I am obsessed with.
My latest round of the 21 Day Fix is over, so it’s time for a CLEAN treat to celebrate!
Well, to be truthful, chocolate is my favorite flavor any time of year, and the pumpkin filling in this dessert is to die for. I will be using this as a base for a new pumpkin pie dessert recipe.
Yup. So stick with me!
I used Shakeology for this, but you can follow the directions for using cocoa powder and coconut oil if you aren’t a Shakeo drinker or if you just want to save every last oz of it for your daily shake. I get it.
With so much candy around this time of year, make a bunch of these and store them in the freezer!

What type of nut butter should we use?
Nancylynn says
Whatever you have on hand – almond butter and peanut butter are both favorites!
Tam says
Is there something you can use in place of the coconut oil due to an allergy?
Nancylynn says
You can try avocado oil!
