Punched Up Peanut Butter Recipe

Here's a great video by Dr. Kara Mohr demonstrating how to give your peanut butter an extra nutrition packed punch.

To summarize the recipe from the video, just peel and steam up 3-4 large carrots, enough so you can mash them up and get about a 2/3 cup serving. Then blend 1/3 cup peanut butter with 2/3 cup of the mashed carrots and joila - a delicious sweet and salty spread with half the fat of plain peanut butter. Feeling sassy? Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to spice things up.

This is a great recipe for adults and kids alike to help get more veggies in during the day. Remember to look at the ingredients on the back of the peanut butter jar and get the brand with just peanuts and salt listed rather than added sugars and oils.

Here's the link to the video to see the recipe step by step.
