Today we are bringing the past into the present I wanted to feature a product that I used this week on my blog. So I am pulling product from Monday’s Tofu Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce .
Monday I introduced Peanut Butter & Co. Original Peanut Powder to all you lovely followers. I had in the back of my mind that peanut powder had existed, just never pursued my interest in them. I thought only people who worked out or were living a certain lifestyle used them. So, I naturally just treated it as a passing thought.
I joined Weight Watchers (WW) about a year ago and found this gem. They were being sold in prepackaged portion size packets. I believe there were 8 in a box. I loved it so much. I was using it so much and my mom was a fan as well, and she found it on Amazon in bulk. I also found it at Market Basket with the peanut butters.
The amazing thing is that it is 1 point on WW standards. I get around 29 points a day so having a peanut butter flavor with such a low point was amazing!
Basically, you combine the powder to water in a 2:1 ratio, mix it together and you get about 1 1/2 – 2 Tbs of peanut butter goodness! It is low in calories, yogurt, and fat, yet has the same amount of protein. It really resembles the texture of peanut butter and tastes the same as regular peanut butter, just with better macros. They are able to get away with the low calorie to protein ratio because the main ingredient is peanut flour which is different that the solid peanut butter peanuts.
Peanut flour is crushed “defatted” peanuts. It is a wonderful source of plant-based protein. Being a vegetarian myself, it is another way to deliver protein which I need a lot of because I don’t receive it in the conventional way of meat or animal product. However, the peanut powder does not have that good fat in it that conventional peanut butter does, the fat was taken out completely. Which makes sense because the powder is derived from the “defatted” peanuts so logically we can assume that there wouldn’t be as much fat.
It is relatively inexpensive. About $5 for 15 servings. One serving being 2 Tbs of powder to the 1 Tbs of water. Like I said, I found it at Market Basket, but you can also buy it online from the seller, Peanut Butter & Co, or even on Amazon.
The best part of this product, is how versatile it is. Keep an eye out for next week *hint hint* when I post a scrumptious breakfast recipe using this powder!
