Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is delicious. You can eat it plain or with jelly, but new ideas are sometimes more fun. Because of its gooey, oily nature it is easy to add to your favorite recipes.

The nutritious facts:
Peanut butter has a high level of monounsaturated fats. (like our friend the avocado)
It also contains protein, fiber, and magnesium.
Magnesium is an important mineral -- but sadly, many diets lack magnesium.
Magnesium works to eliminate the negative effects of drinking soda. It is a vital mineral for the reduction of headaches.

My favorite (right now) recipe with peanut butter is...

Peanut Butter Frosting (eat sparingly... but so good)

MMM.. it looks so tasty. Click here make this treat.

Word of caution::: Peanut butter bought from the store contains other ingredients that are not healthy. (as does the above recipe, but this is a treat!)
I try to buy the peanut butter that lists peanuts as the ONLY ingredient.

If you prefer, (and have the time and equipment) you can make your own homemade peanut butter here. If you are in need of a good mixing device, check out the one below.



Have fun!
