Before we go to the results let's spread some news about Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a great source of plant-based protein, which is important for people who stick to a vegetarian or vegan diet. What's more, peanut butter packs antioxidants that help decrease your risk of several chronic diseases, like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and support a healthy immune system. Peanut butter is a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support a healthy heart. And peanuts don't have many carbohydrates, so the spread is perfect for people with prediabetes.

Dieticians say that you should eat it in moderation due to its high calorie content. Also they remind us that some may be fattening and contain more sodium and sugar than your daily requirement. As always, eat in moderation and you will be fine.

Asian Noodles

I haven't tried it yet but look forward to it. Add peanut butter to the sauce and it elevates the noodles to the next level. People swear by it.

Banana

A smear of peanut on a banana is so good! I will peel the banana and dab peanut butter on each bite, it's so good, also, I will put bananas and p.b. on my toast. Excellent!

Saltines

I think I grew up with a box saltine crackers in the house at all times and one of my favorite treats was a simple p.b. saltine sandwich, brings back fond memories to this day.

Bacon

Bacon and peanut butter is a match most people wouldn't think about it until it happens and then afterwards you might start dipping your bacon right into the jar. Beware!

Ice Cream

Any ice cream sundae is made better with peanut butter. Next time you get a brownie sundae add some p.b. to it and you will be forever grateful, think about all that gooey chocolate mixed with p.b. and whipped cream all together! Yummy!

S'mores

I stumbled on this idea and have now decided that they should always be made this way. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot this summer or fall around the firepit. You will love it.

Smoothies

Let's face it, smoothies can get boring real fast, so I add a spoonful of peanut butter to my fruit smoothies and they are delicious! Plus, it's a fun sneaky way to get protein in.

P.B Whiskey

Okay, I have to admit that I haven't tried this one yet, but I will be getting a bottle of Peanut Butter Whiskey soon. I can imagine it will be a nice addition to any bar.

Chocolate

Remember the silly commercials back in the day when two people would run into each other and the chocolate would end up in the peanut butter? I always wondered, "who goes around town eating pb out of the jar" but I get it, the two had to collide and we're so happy that "accident" took place, because they belong together forever!

Pancakes

If you haven't tried putting a little pb on your pancakes, it's about time you did, especially when you pour some genuine New England Maple syrup on it. Dang!!
