Better'n Peanut Butter/ RECIPES

In honor, belated honor, of National Peanut Butter Day....here is a product I think worthy of a health minded nod and a huge heaping tablespoon of tasting!

Better'n Peanut Butter

40% lower in calories than good old fashioned PB and only 2.5 g of fat!!

It comes in orginal, but one of my faves is their chocolate PB version! Supposedly they have a banana one, lower salt, and a hot pepper one...haven't tried them yet.

Here is a recipe that we love post workouts or really just whenever. If you can't find BnPB in your local area, you can always use a natural PB instead.
