Naturally Nutty Peanut Butter
Why this company rocks
One of the very few things that sucks about traveling overseas is that it’s damn hard to find peanut butter. Many other countries don’t get grinding up peanuts and slathering it on toast. But why would anyone choose vegemite over stick to the roof of your mouth peanut butter?
Recently I came across this nut butter company that’s offering up something different for peanut butter fanatics. I admit that I like my nut butter’s au natural – just nuts and none of the added sugars, salts and what have you but these guys are turning out cool flavors that make me rethink my peanut butter xenophobia.
To up the health ante, peanut butter is mixed with organic hemp and flax seed; then to wake up your taste buds, uncustomary ingredients like coffee, cocoa powder, cinnamon and cherry are blended in. The versions I have tried are just a tad sweet and magnificently rich tasting. The Butter Toffee flavor in particular will have you going nuts (yeah, that was a bad pun).
Besides, you got a love a small company started by a mom with a single Cuisinart.
Body benefits
A growing chorus of experts agree that nuts are heart-healthy. Peanuts have loads of essential vitamins and minerals not to mention monounsaturated fat which keeps cholesterol levels in check.
With added hemp and flax seed you also get a healthy dose of essential omega fatty acids.

Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast

2-3 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1 banana
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup milk
½ cup berries of choice
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
How to make it
In a blender whirl together berries and maple syrup until have sauce. Slather one side of two slices of bread with peanut butter and top with sliced banana. Place other slices of bread on top to form a sandwich. In a bowl whisk eggs and mix in sugar, cinnamon and milk. Soak sandwiches in the egg mixture for a couple minutes, flipping once. Cook sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side. Serve topped with berry sauce.
