Mini PB sandwhiches

This simple snack is yummy and healthy! People often ask me if peanut butter is unhealthy, and most with think so, but peanut butter actually is GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Of course i don't mean consuming a whole jar with a spoon in one night, but if you have 1-2 tbsp of peanut butter each day, it is good for you. Peanut butter contains monounsaturated fats that your body needs. A recent study found that insulin-resistant adults who ate a diet high in monos had less belly fat than people who ate more carbohydrates or saturated fat.

Also, numerous studies have shown that people who regularly include nuts or peanut butter in their diets are less likely to develop heart disease or type 2 diabetes than those who rarely eat nuts

Peanut butter can actually help you lose weight because it's packed with nutrition, and keeps you feeling full longer, causing you to eat less. It also has a yummy taste, so if you're craving something sweet, you can have peanut butter instead (remember, in moderation)
