- 64 g 1/4 cup smooth, natural peanut butter
- 36 g 3 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- 64 g 2 scoops PEScience Peanut Butter Protein Powder
- 5 g sugar substitute or regular sugar adjusted to taste
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2/3 cup cold water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a hint of warmth and depth
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon to enhance the peanut butter flavor subtly
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Set your workspace. Having everything at hand makes the process smoother. Measure out your peanut butters, protein powder, sweetener, salt, water, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered peanut butter, PEScience protein powder, and sea salt. This ensures an even distribution of flavors and nutrients.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Next, fold in the smooth peanut butter, cold water, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to your dry mix. Stir until combined. The mixture will be thick initially, but keep going! You want a creamy spread.
Step 4: Adjust the Consistency
If the mixture feels too thick, don’t fret. Gradually add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. You’re looking for a spreadable yet thick texture.
Here are a few tips for perfecting your protein peanut butter:
- Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the sugars to your taste. Some may prefer a sweeter spread, while others enjoy the natural nuttiness of peanut butter shining through.
- Store Properly: Use a glass container for storage. Glass is easier to clean and can be better for food storage.
- Embrace Variability: You can swap the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if you want to try different flavors.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to add other spices like nutmeg or even a dash of chili powder for a unique twist!
- Consistency Control: If you desire a thicker consistency, use a little less water, or if you want it creamier, add more.
