Are you a fellow peanut butter lover? Do you feel guilty when you reach for a jar of the nutty buttery spread because you fear the fat content is too high?
The good news is, you don’t need to feel guilty any longer!
Two tablespoons of peanut butter has 190 calories and 16 grams of fat per serving – it hardly sounds like a suitable diet food, BUT surprisingly there are a number of GOOD health benefits from the popular spread.
Peanut butter is a good source of protein and micronutrients, including magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and B vitamins. It can also be an excellent source of vitamin B3 at 89 percent of the recommended daily value.
Just be sure to tuck into natural peanut butter!
