Peanut butter snacks

Don't eat peanut butter straight from the jar! It's so much more useful to make snacks out of it, use it as dressing, or as frosting, and add it to smoothies. Yes, peanut butter goes with everything and it's healthy for you. Peanuts contain enough protein for the body and healthy monounsaturated fat which reduces cholesterol. It makes fruit and vegetable snacks tastier; put it on apple slices, or celery sticks, or use it as salad dressing. Peanut butter makes for great sandwich filling by itself, or with jelly, banana slices, carrot, lettuce, and tomato.

You can make your own natural and healthy peanut butter at home using a blender. First the peanuts are crushed into fine grains, then some more blending extracts the oils and turns the powdered grains into a buttery spread. Use peanut butter frosting instead of calorie-heavy cream with desserts.
