I think there are few things that my family loves more than peanut butter. If a peanut butter recipe pops up on Facebook, there's about a 100% chance someone is going to tag me in that post. To say we are peanut butter connoisseurs would be an understatement. With school back in session, I didn't want Allison to get bored with regular peanut butter sandwiches in her lunch box each week, so I thought I'd try Golden Blossom Honey's spin on a tasty Peanut Butter Spread recipe I saw on their website recently.
I'll be honest here and say that I usually turn peanut butter into something a lot less healthy. Cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, whip cream are all such yummy mix ins, but this recipe is just the opposite. Nothing but carrots, yogurt, vanilla and raw honey are mixed into the peanut butter, making it not only a delicious spread, but a healthy one too! I was a little concerned that it was going to taste "too healthy", but if you've ever had a peanut butter mousse before, it's really quite comparable. It tastes so much like a dessert spread instead of a nutritious snack. Spread it on bread, crackers, pretzels, grahams and fruit. It's all good! If you make this, do it in small batches because I think it tastes best fresh. I did refrigerate my left over spread and it didn't have the same "pow" factor as a freshly whipped up batch, but thankfully this can be made in under 2 minutes, so making it fresh whenever the cravings hit shouldn't be an issue.

Peanut butter and chocolate surely is the best combo ;)
DeleteMaking it in under 2 minutes is sure a win. Get it done, chow down, and away you can go. Craving nixed.
ReplyDeleteAnything that gets done that quickly on a busy school morning is a win in my book!
DeleteNo, thanks for me, I think I'd be pooping like there's no tomorrow if I'd mix yoghurt with carrots and peanut butter and honey.... ewww... nasty business :) The photos are lovely as always, though! I do love that little honey bottle, so cute. neither round nor square just lovely
ReplyDeleteThe joys of tummy troubles :( You and me got it rough, that's for sure. Though, I did give my dogs a little sample, they didn't poop all over, so you might be ok :) Isn't that bottle the cutest? Well, not as cute as honey boo boo bear, but still pretty cute!
DeleteI have a big boo boo bear jar too in which I keep my millet. The jar of honey I currently have is crystallised which pisses me of every morning while I'm preparing my daily supplies of ice tea (it makes it difficult to dug it out with a plastic spoon and melt in the tea), but at least I know it's natural honey
DeleteOoh, I hate it when it crystallizes! It really does make it hard to scoop it out :(
DeleteSounds awesome! A healthy snack that the kiddo's will enjoy, yay you! I don't have children in school but I do try for healthy for my grand children as often as possible! Thanks for passing it on.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good. I like peanut butter on celery sticks and crackers but never thought of it with carrots. That sounds good.
ReplyDeleteWe have ours on toast a lot. travis grew carrots, so this would be perfect for us to try.
ReplyDeleteWhile I love peanut butter as well, I've never really used it to make a spread like this before. I'm intrigued by this recipe as it would be a great way to get some "hidden" veggies into my littles and it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get those kids to eat veggies! I love this idea. It looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYumm! Your peanut butter spread sounds delicious! I usually eat beanut butter with apples but my daughter loves it on her toast.
ReplyDeleteMy family absolutely loves peanut butter too so this will be a big hit in our house. This looks like such a great recipe. We will definitely be whipping up a batch of this.
ReplyDeleteThis Peanut Butter Spread looks yummy and carrot has magnified the nutritive value.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love peanut butter spread. And this one looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteNever tried peanut butter and grated carrots together before, but this would be an interesting spread to try. I am saving the recipe and make some soon. I think my husband would love this for his late night sandwich fix.
ReplyDeletecarrot and honey on top! That's interesting..love to try it..
ReplyDeleteI have weird kids - they don't like peanut butter?!? How can you not? I might just have to make this for myself. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's boyfriend doesn't either. I'm like wtf! Who doesn't like peanut butter. He said if his dad gets a smidgen of it in his Nutella, he'll throw the whole jar out. Talk about weird!
DeleteWell, I've been missing out, Theresa. I thought adding fig jam to a peanut butter sandwich was creative! You've opened a whole new peanut butter world to me. I nearly always use honey in the homemade smoothies I make, so I'll have to give the Golden Blossom Organic honey a go the next time I buy honey. I love how you showcase your featured products with beautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've never added fig before. That is creative! I'm definitely doing that with my next batch! And thank you for your lovely compliments :)
DeleteYou always come up with the best ways to use honey!! We love peanut butter, so this is a good one!
