Why This Recipe Works:
This is a filling breakfast or snack with plenty of health benefits. Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Meanwhile, peanut butter is high in heart-healthy fats.
Peanut butter is a protein-packed spread popular around the world. It’s made of ground peanuts – often roasted first – blended into a thick paste. The final product contains a range of nutrients that offers health-boosting benefits.
Who invented peanut butter?
Peanut butter has been around for a very long time. The earliest reference to it can be traced back to the Ancient Incas and the Aztecs who ground roasted peanuts into a paste. Now-a-days we have a spin off product that is gaining in popularity that can be used with great results in this recipe – Peanut Butter Powder!
Its peanuts in another form, is high in protein and has 80% less fat than traditional peanut butter. It adds a huge depth of flavor without adding all the oily-ness that peanut butter normally brings.
It’s made by slow roasting and pressing peanuts to remove most of the fat and oil and the result is a lower calorie product that has a full roasted peanut butter flavour with about twice as much protein per gram than its traditional counterpart. PB powder has the same consistency as full fat peanut butter and can be used as a natural alternative to traditional peanut butter.
It is often used to add a hit of protein and flavor to smoothies, and can be used in a variety of ways, baking into cookies and brownies, spreading on sandwiches, or even as a topping for fruit or ice cream. I recommend you get yourself some PB powder as its so healthy and useful. You can sprinkle some on your cereal, fruit, or oatmeal as a tasty topping. Or for a decadent snack, stir some into your hot cocoa, or shake unto some popcorn for a delicious peanut butter taste.
It is very versatile – just mix with liquid to achieve a spreadable consistency to make a high protein spread that can be used for toast, or added to smoothies or to any recipe that uses peanut butter. Because most of the fat is removed, it doesn’t clump so it goes into smoothies, desserts, oats and other foods very easily.
In this ever-expanding realm of superfoods and adaptogens and bio-hacking, however, I’m always looking for an ingredient that can serve at the intersection of my personal nourishment and pleasure. Peanut butter powder, my new can-do-anything pantry staple, hits it every time. Try this simple recipe for a single frozen yogurt protein cup as it is a fun, refreshing and sweet way to sneak in some extra plant-based protein throughout your day.
Protein packed, no-bake, and perfect to stash in your freezer to grab whenever the craving for a special ‘something’ hits. The recipe also makes a super delicious dessert or ideal post-workout treat. I love to DIY these small but mighty treats for a nutritious and delicious snack or dessert right from my freezer. Using a favorite protein powder boosts each one to 20+ grams of protein and only 5 grams of sugar.
It’s a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth while fueling your body with better-for-you ingredients. This special treat has lots of yummy peanut butter flavor and a creamy crunchy consistency for a healthy dessert I feel good about eating.
I try to always have one (or more) on hand to enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up or after-dinner treat. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add as much (or as little) sweetener as you like, any flavour yogurt that you like to add sweetness and flavour to make it in your way and taste.
