"If someone ever tells you that you're putting too much peanut butter on your bread, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life."
Craving peanut butter? We've all been there. Standing with a spoon and a half-empty jar of peanut butter and wondering how we downed 1,00 calories worth without blinking. Ahhh, yes. It happens to the best of us. I find that many of us have a funny relationship with peanut butter. It's either "Are you crazy, I don't keep that in my house!?" all the way to "Love it, I have one-two tablespoon a day." It is actually quite silly to hear peoples reactions when you bring up the topic of peanut butter, because everyone has something to say about it!
According to the research, peanut butter cravings often happen when you are on a low fat diet , a low carbohydrate diet, or in times of stress as our body tends to crave high calorie foods, especially if the stress is due to energy deprivation.
This recipe is so simple, yet the best tasting peanut butter smoothie I have made thus far! It is a win for the calorie conscious, and for those that do not trust themselves around a jar of peanut butter, because guess what? There is no jar of peanut butter needed! The good news is, it still delivers on hitting that peanut butter craving and you will win in racking in the protein - 34g total in this smoothie!
