Ahh Peanut Butter… I seriously could live on the stuff!! I love that it is super nutritious and good for you! Mornings can be crazy hectic, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on flavor or nutrition! Peanut Butter is not only nutritious but it’s very versatile- spread it on a bagel, stir it in a smoothie or on top of waffles for a quick and easy serving of protein. You can even get creative!! Check out the awesome round-up I complied of 12 Nutritious and creative ways to have Peanut Butter For Breakfast!
Why have peanut butter for breakfast you ask?
Peanut Butter is a great addition to mornings because it is a natural, plant based source of eight grams of protein and more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients.
Peanut Butter is also a very budget friendly ingredient for your morning meal. On average, peanut butter costs less 16 cents per ounce!!
Studies have shown that people who enjoy a higher protein breakfast (35 grams) felt fuller, had fewer cravings, and ate fewer higher calorie snacks at night compared to eating a lower protein cereal or skipping breakfast!
Eating Breakfast has been also been associated with weight loss and weight loss maintenance, as well as improved nutrient intake!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock this should not be new news for you! Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day!! So having Peanut Butter for Breakfast is a great way to start your day off right!!!
In the Thueson house Peanut Butter is a Pantry stable/necessity! So I’m proud to join the National Peanut Board to help celebrate Better Breakfast Month this September! Adding Peanut Butter to your morning routine is a great way to send your kids off with a Protein/Nutrient packed breakfast!!
