Nutritionists love nut butters because they’re filling (thanks to that magical balance of both protein and fiber) and offer plant-based monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Plus their taste can be incredibly rich and luxurious — or just plain transport you back to a favorite childhood candy or PB&J sandwich.
If you’ve never tried peanut butter in powdered form, you’re in for a revelation. You never have to deal with endlessly stirring a jar where the oil has separated, and the powder format makes cleanup a breeze when adding it to smoothies or snacks — no sticky blender or knife scrubbing required. The only downside is that most powdered peanut butters add a sweetener. That’s why the PB2 Pure Peanut Powder is our favorite, because it has no added sugar or salt and packs 6 grams of protein per serving. Our judges also loved its rich, authentic peanut taste and light, powdery texture.
Try it in our easy peanut butter overnight oats, in our chocolate PB and banana smoothie, or as WeightWatchers member advocate Chloe Parsons suggests: sprinkled over bananas and dates for a sweet, nutty snack.
