    We all have our food obsessions, and one of mine is anything peanuts.

    I love them. I’m pretty sure when I was pregnant the first time I lived on peanut butter and chocolate covered peanuts.

    These days, I try to avoid the chocolate covered peanuts most of the time, but I still love my peanut butter.

    One thing I’ve loved lately is Jif® Peanut Powder, which is a powdered peanut butter. This is a new product I picked up at Walmart. It has 85% less fat than traditional peanut butter. I love that it has one ingredient: Peanuts!

    With 7 grams of protein per serving, it is a great addition to any recipe.

    I’ve been throwing it in my green smoothies for added flavor and extra protein. This weekend we are going to try it in my Mom’s peanut butter cookie recipe.
