With one of our focus items being Peanut Butter this week, I thought I would also introduce Peanut Butter Powder. Here are two different brands.
This is PB2 Peanut Butter Powder from http://www.bellplantation.com/. I had to order this on line. My thanks to Sandy D. for introducing it to me. She states that she loves it and that if she wants a quick spoonful of Peanut Butter just to snack on, she can without all the fat. Bell Plantation states that they remove 85% of the fat before it is in it's final form. The cost works out to be $.61/ounce.
This is Peanut Butter Powder from Emergency Essentials. The information from the packaging states that it has 0.5 g of Saturated Fat with a total fat of 3.5 g or 6% of the Daily Value. The cost works out to be $.29 per ounce.
How does it reconstitute? It is a 2:1 ration of Powder to Water
Here I put in 1 Tablespoon of powder.
Next I placed in a half-tablespoon of water and then mixed with a small whisk.
It made about 1 Teaspoon of Peanut Butter. I did taste it and it did taste like peanut butter, but with a difference I cannot put my finger on. I believe this product would be well used in mixes, sauces and main dishes. It could be used for PB & J, and I would certainly use jam, jelly or honey.
The benefits:
-It takes less space on your shelf
-It can easily be used in mixes
-It reconstitutes quickly
-There are many recipes for Weight Watchers that can be made with this type of product.
What would I do with it? You can make wraps, Thai chicken, dips, pies, cookies, snacks, etc. Here are some links that give many suggestions:
Here is a quick snack that I made. This recipe comes from Bell Plantation:
Banana Peanut Butter Dips
Peel a firm banana
Slice it up.
Put in a about a Tablespoon of Peanut Butter Powder
Put in a few slices of banana and shake
Remove from the bag. This is a fast treat that imitates the taste of bananas spread with peanut butter....but without the fat.
Consider it!
