The low calorie peanut butter powder is a deliciously addictive substance. It works well in protein shakes, smoothies and for baking as well, adding a moreish nutty flavour that can hit the spot when limiting calorie-rich foods like full-fat peanut butter. If you like to get creative in the kitchen or just love the taste of peanuts, a peanut butter powder based protein snack is for you. You might like to try a high protein slice, with basic ingredients like dark chocolate, protein powder (vanilla, chocolate or plain), peanut butter powder and some natural sweetener like thaumatin or stevia. Melt the chocolate, mix the ingredients, then press them into a square cake tin and allow to harden in the fridge. Then you've got a crazy-delicious snack.

The important of quality protein can not be overstated when it comes to human nutrition. Regardless of activity level, age or gender, protein delivers the basic building blocks required to keep the body healthy. This valuable macronutrient is important for so much more than just supporting the recovery of muscle tissue. We need amino acids for organ health, maintaining soft tissues like collagen, bones, teeth, neurotransmitters in the brain and a great deal more. In fact, one of the essential amino acids, called tryptophan, supports mood and a positive outlook as a precursor to brain serotonin. This neurotransmitter is actually converted to melatonin in the pineal gland at night. Melatonin—the natural sleep molecule—sedates us, helps to regenerate the brain and has an antioxidant effect.
