Peanut butter has been a fixture of the American kitchen pantry since it was first made.
High in protein and very versatile, even with its high fat content, peanuts contain the good fat we need to be healthy.
Runners, dieters and children all love this butter.
Who doesn't love a good PB&J sandwich? I must admit when I look at the calories on a jar of regular PB and see that two tablespoons contain about 190 calories and 140 is from fat then I start to cringe a bit.
Even the reduced fat PB contains 180 calories and about 55 from fat in just one tablespoon.
One day while checking out some health related information, I stumbled upon a low calorie peanut butter powder.
I thought to myself, "What is PB powder"? I never heard of it.
I obviously don't camp much! But when I read that two tablespoons of the powder contain 54 calories, 25 from fat I kept reading about it and since the reviews by others were so enthusiastic I decided to buy some.
Now granted fat gives everything more texture and taste.
But for a product that is 100 percent natural and made with no artificial additives or sweeteners and it has 85 percent less calories from fat, well I definitely wanted to try it.
These premium quality peanuts are slow-roasted and then pressed to remove the fat.
This low calorie peanut butter comes in a dried form and when you add a couple of tablespoons of either water or apple juice or whatever you like, to equal amounts of the powder, the result will be a roasted peanut taste and the consistency of the regular version.
You can also mix jelly or jam to make your spread; just use your imagination to come up with your own distinctive flavors.
