BONAPPETITLIFE and Spread PB bring you…

Coconut Spread PB Cups

Incase you have not guessed, I am obsessed with peanut butter. So simply delicious, satisfying, and often my perfect post-workout protein boost. These little vegan/paleo/low FODMAP Coconut Spread PB Cups are too good to be true and so darn simple with just three ingredients!

PROTIP: buy the real peanut butter (ingredients are just peanuts and salt), and avoid “low fat” peanut butters that just remove healthy fats for carbs and sugar. My absolute FAVORITE peanut butter brand is SpreadPB. Support local, small businesses (who love and appreciate a good spoonful of PB as much as I do) and charity when you buy from SpreadPB! A portion of proceeds actually goes to the Concern Foundation to promote the fight against cancer. You can enjoy a fresh, healthy peanut butter that will last and feel good about supporting a great cause.

SpreadPB does not use additives and their PB is deliciously vegan, of course! Try their 3 famous favors: Nutty, Coconut, and Cinnamon Raisin. Yum!

HEALTHY FACTS

PEANUTS are rich in vitamin E, healthy fats that actually reduce cholesterol, and ONE handful of these babies has about 7g of protein (little more than an egg!). Peanut butter is the healthy /VEGAN alternative in a classic PB&J sandwich to a deli meat-sandwich in a kid’s lunch, for sure!
