Because these are healthy peanut butter recipes, they all use natural peanut butter. Not only does this help you remove some processed oils from your diet but it also cuts back on excess sugar. This is what I personally use as a Certified Nutrition Coach.
Plus, the natural oil from the peanuts is needed in many of the recipes for them to come together.
When choosing a peanut butter, peek the ingredients and make sure that the only ingredient is peanuts. This way you reap all the benefits without any additives.
