Protein Peanut Butter (3-Ingredients)

I always start my day with a high protein breakfast containing at least 20g of protein. I find it keeps me fuller for longer, stops me from feeling jittery after a couple of hours and gives me more energy. I also find when I eat a higher protein breakfast I don’t get cravings later on in the day.

Something that I’ve noticed over the years is that having a carby breakfast with little protein and fat is a big no no for me. I get a massive sugar crash that leaves me feeling jittery and triggers my anxiety, a feeling that often stays even when I do eat something to stabilise my blood sugar.

Now I make it a point to have a balanced breakfast, even when I have a busy morning and no time for a chilled sit down meal. One of my go-to meals when I’m in a rush is toast with something spread on top like cottage cheese or eggs with avocado, but even they take a bit of time to put together. 

I have now found the perfect speedy breakfast that’s high in protein and contains some healthy fats for a balanced breakfast and takes only a couple of minutes to put together. 

Protein Peanut Butter (3-Ingredients)

This protein peanut butter has become a life saver for me on busy mornings. Each serving offers 12g of protein and only 143 calories. Spread over 2 slices of wholegrain bread (I usually buy the kind that has at least 5g of protein per slice) that’s over 20g protein right there! Peanut butter is great as it is, but you would need to eat a fair bit to get 12g of protein. I find the fat content weighs me down if I eat too much of it, that’s why I find this version so much lighter. It still has those healthy fats, just less of them, making it feel lighter and more enjoyable (in my opinion).

As well as a great breakfast option, this protein peanut butter makes a great snack. You can enjoy it with a slice of break, some fruit or even on its own. It’s so handy to have a jar stored in the fridge so I can reach for it instead of a shop bought snack like biscuits (my weakness!).

You can use the same recipe and change around the nut butters. They will all work the same. Almond butter is another one that I use a lot to make this recipe. Next on my list is a protein chocolate hazelnut spread…yum! 

What you need to make this protein peanut butter:

Peanut butter – smooth or crunchy peanut butter will work. You can also use any nut butter you like. 

Protein powder – again any will work, I usually use a vegan vanilla flavoured protein powder, but the caramel one also works well. 

Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk, but really you can use any milk you prefer or have available. 

This protein peanut butter is:

  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free
  • Only calls for 3 ingredients
  • Ready in minutes
  • High protein
  • Great healthy option for breakfast
  • Great to have in the fridge for when you need a snack
  • Lighter than regular peanut butter
  • Easy to adjust to taste
