Seriously if there’s a better combo than peanut butter and chocolate, we don’t want to know.

This recipe is a MUST try and you will be forgiven for not sharing, trust us on this. Plus it’s NO BAKE! Hooray!

Using dates and a small amount of maple syrup means the slice is sweet but not full of white sugar. So it’s great for 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge members!

Top 10 health benefits of peanut butter

1. It’s packed full of good stuff

Peanut butter contains monounsaturated fat and has many powerful vitamins, protein, fibre and protein (at least seven grams of it). Protein makes you feel fuller for longer and is also essential for repairing and building muscles.

2. It’s good for your heart

The presence of saturated fat doesn’t automatically kick a food, such as peanut butter, into the “unhealthy” camp. Olive oil, wheat germ, and even tofu—all considered to be “healthy” foods—have some saturated fat, says Dr. Willett in the 2009 of the Harvard Heart Letter.

3. It’s an awesome energy booster

No wonder people tend to have peanut butter for breakfast, as it contains calories that gives you lots of energy first thing in the morning.

4. It’s rich in fibre

There are two grams of fibre in two tablespoons of peanut butter. Fibre helps keep our digestive systems healthy.

5. It contains potassium

The spread is a fantastic source of potassium, which helps your kidneys to filter blood, keep the central nervous system in order, and is good in keeping your blood pressure down.

Pears are also packed with potassium. Try our Pears Stuffed With Peanut Butter And Chia.

6. It can lower chances of developing diabetes

One study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that consuming one ounce of nuts or peanut butter (about 2 tablespoons) at least 5 days a week can lower the risk of developing diabetes by almost 30 per cent.

7. It’s fantastic for bone health

Peanut butter contains about 49 grams of magnesium, which is good for muscle recovery, mental health and also great for bone building.

Our Delicious Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie is loaded with calcium and magnesium.

8. It helps with weight loss

Eating peanuts and peanut butter helps you feel fuller for longer.

9. It’s full of nutrients

Peanut Butter on a Knife

Peanut butter contains protein, fibre, potassium, healthy fats as well as antioxidants, magnesium and vitamin E.

10. It helps boost immunity

The small traces of vitamin B6 and zinc found in the spread can act as a good immunity booster.

Natural peanut butter can act as a better option, as it contains less sugar and salt. We’re not saying you should slather the spread on every meal, like anything, have it in moderation is best.
