Have you ever heard of this stuff?!
Coming from a girl who...
1- LOVES peanut butter
2- Has lost 40 lbs
3- Works every single day to maintain it
through healthy eating.
4- Is trying to feed her family healthy foods
and instill healthy eating habits into the brains
of sugar obsessed little boys...
This has become one of my favorite tricks!
And is a yummy must have.
It is PB2, Powdered Peanut Butter, that tastes
mmmm mmmmm good. I like it so much that
for Christmas last year I actually gave jars of it
to my girlfriends along with a little homemade
recipe books made up of recipes cards with
my favorite PB2 recipes.
JIF Peanut Butter has always been my favorite
peanut butter and I will be honest and say that
there are still times when I will have a good old
fashioned Jif PB&J sandwich but that is the
exception and this healthier PB has become
the rule.
I feel so much better about giving this
non-hydrogenated PB to my kids and I love
that I am able to add flavor and protein to my
food without all of the calories.
Here are some of the benefits of eating this
PB over the regular PB and even the fresh
ground natural PB includes...
-Less fat
-Less calories
-Same amount of protein
-Doesn't separate
-Isn't oily/greasy
-Yummy flavor
-Is not hydrogenated but has the same creamy
texture as those commercial brands when
prepared.
The peanuts are actually pressed into a
powder so the oil and fat are taken away
but the protein and the flavor remain. You get
2 huge scoops of this for 45 calories vs. like
200 calories of hydrogenated and fatty regular
peanut butter. All you do is mix 2 tbs of the
powder with a little water and...
voila, peanut butter!
You seriously can do so many things with
this powdered PB:
-good old fashioned PB&J sandwiches
-all sorts of cookies (PB, choc chip, no bake, etc)
-add to smoothies for extra protein and a
yummy flavor
-dip apples and/or pretzels in it
-sprinkle on popcorn (or make chocolate PB
popcorn)
-pancakes
-Thai recipes (I made the best Thai Peanut
Chicken with this stuff)
-add to oatmeal (my favorites are PB banana
and PB chocolate chip oatmeal)
I mean really anywhere that you would use
regular PB you can use this stuff and I promise
you will start to find other places to use it.
If you love peanut butter...
and if you want a healthy alternative to the
other peanut butters out there, give this stuff
a try!
