It's National Peanut Butter Day!!
How Fun! It is seriously one of my favorite things! So why not celebrate. It can be a healthier snack.... with portion control of course :) and especially if you go for the more all- natural kinds. My latest discovery is PB2. It's a Peanut Butter powder, great for mixing in smoothies and other recipes. For a spread you just mix with water and it's awesome! It's so much healthier. They have quite a few recipe ideas here. Maybe you can find a store near you that has it or stock up on a few for food storage to save on the shipping from the site. Another option Make your own Peanut Butter with a Vitamix if you are lucky enough to have one....It's sooooo on my Wish List! I wish, I wish, I wish!
Anyway, here is a round up of some really great Peanut Butter recipes that I can't wait to try!
