6 Nutty Recipes For 2019

During the course of 2018, my obsession with peanut butter just kept on growing. I used to only put a dollop in my protein shakes or spread it on a slice of toast but recently I’ve been getting more adventurous – putting it in everything from cookies to satay sauce – all with the help of my trusty PBfit powder.  From time to time I even find myself looking at recipes and saying ‘you know what, I think adding a little tbsp of PBfit would really take that recipe to the next level’ – to which Ant normally replies ‘you think you’re Paul Hollywood don’t you’.

Another reason why I’m slightly obsessed with PBfit is that it’s a godsend when it comes to traveling. You can take it through in your hand luggage if you’re not checking a bag in and if you are, you won’t have to worry about it smashing and spilling all over your clothes (believe me, I’ve been there – nobody wants to be that girl frantically scrubbing peanut butter out of her bikini).

As I sit here with my usual PBfit craving, thinking what am I going to eat next, it feels like the perfect time to take stock and pick out a couple of my favourite recipes using PBfit from 2018.  So here goes!
