Recipes with Powdered Peanut Butter aka PPB

If you’ve got some PPB (aka Powdered Peanut Butter; the UK version of PB2) in your cupboards then this recipe blog post is for you.. here are my FAVOURITE recipes to make with it!!

You can read more about powdered peanut butter, which has 70% less fat and 50% fewer calories than standard peanut butter, in my product review blog post, as well as for tips on how to use it, but in this blog post I wanted to put together my favourite recipes using it!

P.S You can buy PPB from Hale Naturals (use NIC10 for 10% off), MuscleFood (use NIC5 for 5% off) and Amazon also sell it!

    I’ve heard great things about PB2 and being pretty sure more peanut butter flows through my veins than blood, I like the sound of it! I’d definitely have to have a go at the French toast, seems like the perfect way to use this new format of nut butter!

    The eggy bread ‘French Toast’ reminds me of my brownie pack holidays. These seem a little more grown up. Hmmm not sure I can wait until end of the competition to start taste reminiscing.

    Hi Nic, I have just come across your website and am so pleased . Lots of advice and recipes for healthy living. I have just spent a happy couple of hours trawling your site and reading the posts. I had not heard of PPB untill I read of it in your blog. All the recipes sound lovely but if I have to chose one then it would be the coconut macaroons,

    • July 15, 2014 / 8:56 pm
