I love peanut butter. So when a client brought me a jar of Peanut Butter & Co's Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter I was pretty excited. BUT I was not prepared for the DELICIOUSNESS awaiting me. If you like peanut butter, cinnamon, and raisins then you MUST find the nearest store that sells Peanut Butter & Co ASAP. (If you don't like all of those things, they have some other fun flavors which you should check out.)

I love peanut butter for a lot of reasons:

• The smooth, rich, creaminess is like a little heaven on my tongue
• It pairs nicely with so many things: apples, bananas, crackers, oatmeal, waffles, marinades, soups, dressings, smoothies, and cookies
• The natural blend of protein and fat makes it a stellar partner with carbs like grains, fruits and veggies giving your snack or meal staying power!

Tip: as the temperatures cool and oatmeal starts to sound appealing, try mixing your favorite PB spread in your oatmeal. It's delicious and will keep you full for much longer than the oatmeal alone. Add some fruit and your set for a balanced, energizing, and comforting meal.

Are you a peanut butter lover too? What's your favorite way to eat it?

Note: If you have a peanut allergy, I apologize. I hope I didn't make you feel left out. I'll try to pick something next month that is allergy free. :)
