Yep, you read that right! One of the tastiest ways to use peanut butter is to slap a big spoonful in a fruit smoothie. It works especially well with a banana smoothie.

Peanut butter flavored popcorn? Yes, please. What a tasty alternative to the classic caramel corn. You are going to love how this tastes, but you might want to hide it if you don’t want to share because it’s going to be a crowd pleaser. Simply melt a cup or so of peanut butter in a small saucepan. Add a dab of honey to thicken the mixture, then pour it over popped kernels spread out on waxed paper. Allow to cool and harden before eating.

/filters:quality(70)/content/dq/pf/hsexq4vr_533x800.jpg)
This is a classic recipe that my mom makes all the time. I promise that it tastes a million times better than the original recipe for Rice Krispy treats. When you melt the marshmallows, add a couple of scoops of peanut butter. Then pour them over the cereal and cool like you normally do. Yum!

This is a totally easy snack that tastes like dessert without all the fat and calories. Simply slice a banana in half the long way, then spread one half with peanut butter and top with the other half. Enjoy! My kids love this for breakfast with a bowl of cereal, but it’s also great for lunch or an afternoon snack.
