Summer Fun with SunButter Smoothies
Hello. I’m Kristin and I’m the “mama” behind the STUFT mama blog. Along with being a self-confessed SunButter addict, I love to experiment in the kitchen and create healthy meals that will please the whole family. Summer is a perfect time for smoothies. Over here at the STUFT house, I make nutritious smoothies on a daily basis to make sure everyone’s getting their fruits and vegetables. I’m sure you know it’s not always easy to impress the picky toddler (or the picky husband), but I’ve managed to come up with some delicious smoothies that knock my boys’ socks (and shirts, apparently) off.
Nut butters and healthy eating
The path to healthy eating need not be flavor-barren. Nut butters can be a good source of protein and healthy fats if you’re aiming for healthy eating in 2011 through one of these approaches: Paleo Diet Eat-Clean Diet Raw Food Diet Steering clear of empty calories Nut butters and seed spreads like SunButter® are still high in total fat, yet they nicely supplement diets as a vegetarian protein source and good dose of healthy fats.
Like you, we’re in the kitchen these days, and we’re making nut-free snacks. Watch us create two easy, no-bake, no-cook snacks for holiday parties, get-togethers—and to feed the kids home on holiday break from school: Chocolate SunButter Cracker Bites Make them with truly allergy-friendly Enjoy Life chocolate and ensure your box of Ritz crackers doesn’t have an allergy warning for a batch of completely nut-free snacks.
Refuel with Peanut Butter Alternative Protein
“Now, go eat something good. Something with protein.” That’s my barbell strength class instructors’ parting orders. So as I put my equipment away, I contemplate “something good with protein.” Something different than the familiar whey protein shake re-fuel. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) puts one food source on its list of protein sources and fat sources, saying: Eat after your workout To help your muscles recover and to replace their glycogen stores, eat a meal that contains both protein and carbohydrates within two hours of your exercise session if possible. Women, in particular, may need protein after resistance training.
We’ve known it all along: SunButter® is a great healthy snack for kids (and adults!). Heck, even the TODAY show is talking about it! That’s right; Elizabeth Ward, a registered dietitian and blogger for usatoday.com, recently appeared on TODAY to share tips on how kids can snack wisely. You guessed it: SunButter® was included as a nutritious snack and a fantastic peanut-free alternative! Happy healthy snacking!
