Peanut Nutrition

Peanuts and peanut butter have 7 grams of protein (higher than any other nut), 19 vitamins and minerals- like niacin, folate, vitamin E and magnesium, fiber and heart-healthy fats.
Peanuts are affordable! I always keep some on hand for snacks for the kids. Just last night at bedtime, my 2 younger kids were eating handfuls of peanuts because they were still hungry. I love that peanuts actually give my kids nutrition and taste like a fun snack to the kids.
Peanuts can be part of a healthy snack or dessert- totally guilt-free! I love using peanuts to make a healthier treat such as filling a date with peanut butter and peanuts and freezing them to taste like a Snickers.
Peanuts are an energy dense food that is great for after your workouts or before! The protein in peanuts help with muscle growth and repair.
Daily peanut intake can help with a reduction in stress, anxiety and depression. Love this!
Eating peanuts can help lead to weight loss, decreased blood pressure and improved fasting glucose levels.

Cottage cheese is loaded with calcium for your bones, phosphorus for energy production and cell growth, and has vitamin B12 and selenium.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Cottage Cheese Ice Cream

Blend together your cottage cheese, maple syrup and peanut butter in a food processor or blender until super smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped peanuts and peanut butter cups. Place the mixture into a storage container or loaf pan and place in the freezer until firm- about 3-4 hours. When you’re ready to serve, thaw for about 10 minutes for easy scooping. Enjoy!
