10 Ways to Eat Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is one food that you either love or hate. The thick nutty flavor of peanut butter can be off putting to some but very appetizing to others. Containing an abundant source of protein and amino acids, peanut butter is very beneficial to the body. Yes, it is high in fat but it contains a good source of protein when eaten in moderation and it can be very good for you. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the thick, creamy taste of peanut butter.
If you love peanut butter or have never tried it before and want to give it a try then look below at the 10 common ways that you can enjoy peanut butter.
Enjoy a dollop of peanut butter with a bowl full of cold sliced apples. Apples come in many different varieties; Fuji, Empire, Gala, Golden Delicious, Red delicious, Rome, Granny Smith, Macintosh -- Choose the apple of your preference and enjoy it with one spoonful of peanut butter. Apples such as; Rome, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Empire are widely used for baking but , Red delicious, Gala, Fuji (used for baking too,) and Macintosh apples are the ones that most people use for eating. There isn't one particular apple that is best to eat with peanut butter. When choosing apples to eat with peanut butter it is always best to go by preference. If you love red delicious apples then eat peanut butter with them. If you tend to like sweeter snacks then go for the sweeter apples such as; Gala and Fuji and if you like snacks that are mildly sweet go for the slightly sweet apples such as; Red delicious, and Macintosh (which is both tart and sweet in taste.)
You can also heat the peanut butter up in a microwave for about 5 seconds to smoothen out the texture and make it easier to dip the apples in. Eating apples and peanut butter is a great way to enjoy peanut butter because you not only get a great amount of protein from the peanut butter but you get a great amount of fiber from the apples.
Spread some peanut butter on a slice of toast or sweet bagel. Peanut butter is flavorsome on a slice of warm toast. When peanut butter is warmed the texture becomes very smooth and the flavor becomes richer. If you want to taste peanut butter at its best then try melting it. Toast the bread of your choice in a toaster then spread some peanut butter on top of it and place in the microwave for about 3 seconds. Do not leave the toast in there for too long because it will become hard and very tough to eat. Also, be careful when eating warmed peanut butter because it is very hot and can burn your lips, tongue, and fingers.
Spread peanut butter on baked Toast. Lightly toast the bread in the oven first then remove from the oven and quickly spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on it, next place the toast back into the oven. Take the toast out when the bottom of the bread turns a nice golden, crispy brown. The bread will have a nice crisp crunch to it. Remember that warmed peanut butter is extremely hot so let it cool down a bit before munching.
You can use peanut butter to make cookies! Peanut butter cookies can be very scrumptious and are very easy to make. There are many recipes on the web that will show you how to prepare peanut butter cookies. If you are interested in making peanut butter cookies make sure that you have the following basic ingredients; eggs, salt, baking soda, flour, sugar (white and brown,) margarine and of course peanut butter.
Enjoy a bit of peanut butter on celery. There is something about the zingy taste of celery and the tart nutty taste of peanut butter that makes them great together. The great thing about eating peanut butter with celery is that the shape of the celery makes it easy to spread the peanut butter on. Try sprinkling some raisin down the center of the celery and enjoy a nutritious snack.
Enjoy a bit of peanut butter on a banana sandwich. Banana sandwiches are quick to make and are very nutritious. Bananas are a good source of fiber, iron, and potassium and are very beneficial to the body. Peanut butter is a good source of protein and the bread (if it's whole wheat) will offer a great source of vitamins, iron, and fiber.
You can incorporate peanut butter into your next batch of pancakes. Just as with the cookies there are plenty of peanut butter pancake recipes online. I have included one such link below this article. Peanut butter pancakes are a great way to get your protein in the morning.
Peanut butter and chocolate taste great together as well. We've seen this successful pairing in such candies as Reese's peanut butter cups and Snickers ice cream bar. You can mix chocolate and peanut butter together and spread on sweet bagels, toast, graham crackers, cookies or even saltines.
Spread some peanut butter on thick or sweet breads such as; bagels, fig bread, raisin bread, whole wheat grain bread with (nuts or seeds in it,) date nut bread, or banana nut bread. The taste will be absolutely sensational. Thicker breads seem to taste best with peanut butter.
Place a bit of peanut butter in your ice cream. It may not sound too appetizing but it really is not that bad. The best flavors of ice cream to eat peanut butter with are; vanilla and chocolate fudge. Because peanut butter has a strong taste, it is best to go with a simple ice cream, one with a simple taste. If you are not into mixing chocolate and peanut butter then you will be glad to know that there are different brands of peanut butter ice cream out there on the market for sale.
