Peanut Butter Hack — Caroline COmer

Hi everyone! I recently had an "oh no" moment when I noticed that the almond butter I was eating everyday for a snack had 15 grams of fat per 2 tbsps!!! I had already gone through an entire jar before i actually looked at the fat grams (a little late), but I had not checked before because I was like oh this is almond butter so it's healthy! This is not terribly bad because nuts are considered "healthy fats" and a good source of protein, but 15 grams per 2 tablespoons was not going to help me reach my goals considering I was eating it everyday. Soooo what did I do? I looked for an alternative! Apples and peanut/almond butter is my favorite snack to eat during the day at school, so I couldn't just find something else to eat so I went to the grocery and looked at the nutrition facts of so many different nut butters but they all seemed to have at least 15 grams of fat <frustrating>, but what I did find was powdered peanut butter! Powdered peanut butter has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. So what is it? Powdered peanut butter is powdered peanuts that have been pressed to remove much of the oils and fats. Powdered peanut butter has less calories, less fat grams and is still a great source of protein! So the almond butter that is was eating before was a cinnamon flavor with chia seeds so I bought the chocolate powdered peanut butter and made my own little mix! This is so yummy and super good plain or as a spread for apples or bananas! Here's the recipe and I encourage you to try it!

Ingredients:

Pb2 or Pbfit powdered peanut butter- I prefer chocolate but plain will be just as good! (you can find at any local grocery store)
Chia seeds
Unsweetened coconut
Almond slices

1. Put 4 tbsp of PB2 in bowl and mix with 2 tbsp of water.
