There are so many delicious reasons why you should start using powdered peanut butter in your next recipe.
If you’re a fan of the creamy, rich peanut butter flavour, but also looking to lose some weight, then making a swap for Powdered Peanut Butter is the way to go.

And if you’re anything like me and already consume enough healthy fats from fresh avocados, coconut oil, nuts, eggs, and seeds then switching to Powdered Peanut Butter for some balance is great for healthy weight loss, while getting the flavour you love so much.
