Disclaimer: I have a slighttt obsession with peanut butter. Seriously, I love it. It makes me so happy. So it is only appropriate that I share with you my absolute favourite snack that I had today… Apples and peanut butter! Ohhhh how I love that sweet and salty goodness 😀
Peanut butter is a great snack because it has lots of protein and will keep you full until your next meal. It also contains lots of healthy (and unsaturated) fats, similar to those found in avocados and olive oil. The above factors make peanut butter a great skinny snack, because it keeps you full longer and helps stop you from giving in to those nasty junk food cravings!
Another super important thing… Buy REAL peanut butter. What is real peanut butter? Well, the only ingredients on the jar should be peanuts and salt. The majority of peanut butters on the shelf have the first ingredient as being icing power. Icing powder = cake icing = frosting for breakfast = NO. It’s gross, just don’t do it. Buy the real and delicious peanut butter that will better your health instead of yucky sugar disguised as a nutritious product. Keep an eye out for peanut butter labeled “natural” when you are shopping, as it will most likely be the real stuff! But check the ingredient list just to be safe. 🙂
What’s your favourite snack? I also really like this pink hummus recipe. Let me know in the comments below!

Oh I only wish I could eat peanut butter! But I’m allergic ;( I’ve had apples with caramel and I can imagine it would be great!
Cheers,
Eileen
Oh no! That’s too bad 🙁 But caramel sounds amazing too!! 😀
I honestly like apple slices with PB moreso than almond butter. Ok there I said it. LOL

Haha no way! Ya it’s such a yummy snack 🙂

Glad to see I am not the only one obsessed with peanut butter. I always have slices of apples and bananas with peanut butter for breakfast. Will have to take a look at that hummus recipe as well.

I love apples and peanut butter. I also enjoy apples and almonds or any other kind of nut. They make a great combo.
