Peanut butter and Greek yogurt are a dream team! This family-friendly recipe is a quick, simple breakfast or snack that ticks all the boxes: High in protein and healthy fats, filling and delicious. Add toppings of your choice and enjoy.

This recipe is perfect for when you are super busy and don’t want to spend time in the kitchen. Delicious and ready in a flash. I have a lot of great peanut butter recipes on my website, but this is one of my secret favourites.

Why This Recipe Works:

#1 Apart from being incredibly easy, quick and filling, peanut butter yogurt is a recipe for all seasons. It is refreshing in summer due to the Greek yogurt but provides that comforting richness we crave when the weather is cold.

#2 The creamy texture combined with the nutty flavor is a dream team. This dish tastes exquisite solo but can be dressed up with any toppings of your choice. I am listing my favourite add-ins further down in the post.

#3 This is a filling breakfast or snack with plenty of health benefits. Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein – a serving of this recipe contains over 20 grams. Meanwhile, peanut butter is high in heart-healthy fats.

Is peanut butter good for you?

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. However, it’s important to check the label when buying peanut butter. Many brands today add ingredients like sugar, vegetable oil, and trans fats that can reduce its nutritional value.

Natural peanut butter is available in health food stores and specialty grocers and can be easily found online. Look for a product that contains no additives other than a little salt. You can also make peanut butter at home by blending peanuts in a food processor until you reach your desired texture.

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 –  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.

You can also sprinkle some peanut butter powder 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.
