    Have you tried peanut butter powder yet?

    Well, what are you waiting for?

    What is peanut butter powder?

    Peanut butter powder (aka powdered peanut butter) is made from roasted peanuts that have been pressed to have most of their natural oils removed.

    The resulting powder can then be used as is or mixed with water to create a spread similar to that of traditional peanut butter.

    The dry powder contains less calories and fat than traditional peanut butter.

    In fact, on average peanut butter powder contains around 45-60 calories per 2 tablespoons while traditional peanut butter clocks in at about 190 calories for the same serving size.

    The total fat per 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter averages 1.5 grams compared to approximately 15-18 grams in regular peanut butter.

    However, when it comes to protein, peanut butter powder comes close to its traditional counterpart with about 6 grams per 2 tablespoons.

    Regular peanut butter has around 7-8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons.

    Overall, powdered peanut butter can add both protein and a peanut buttery flavor to your recipes but with less calories and fat than traditional peanut butter, 

    Oh, peanut butter powder, where have you been all my life?

    How to Make This Apple Banana Smoothie with Peanut Butter Powder

    Start by adding the frozen banana to your blender.

    I cut up my bananas before freezing to make the blending process easier.

    Then add chopped apple, coconut milk and peanut butter powder.

    Blend until smooth.

    Add your favorite non-dairy whipped topping followed by cinnamon, if desired.

    Can I use peanut butter instead?

    Yes, you can use 1 tablespoon of peanut butter instead of the peanut butter powder.

    Can I use a different kind of apple?

    Yes, you can try it with a Red Delicious or Fuji instead.

    How do I make this with no added sugar?

    Use a peanut butter powder that contains no added sugar such as Naked PB, PB2 Pure, PB&Me or Crazy Richard's. Also, leave off the non-dairy whipped topping or use a sugar free version.

        Hi Kenzie! I haven't tried making it with peanut butter, but you can definitely use it instead of the powder. It shouldn't change the consistency too much since it's such a small amount, but if it comes out too thick, you can always add more coconut milk. Also, the powder does not have any salt or sugar, so if the peanut butter you're using does, it will change the flavor a little as well. Hope that helps! Enjoy your smoothie and thanks for stopping by! πŸ™‚
