Summary Unfortunately, up to 80% of teens and adults fail to meet the recommended daily intake of vitamin E ( 18, 19).

Make a variety of peanut butter powders including one that's sugar-free sweetened with a monk fruit blend (it's only 10 fewer calories than the organic version we tested) This may be because nuts increase satisfaction and fullness after a meal, which naturally decreases calorie intake from other foods throughout the day ( 6).Since most of the fat has been removed from powdered peanut butter, there is concern that the fat-soluble vitamins are lost as well. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that functions as an antioxidant in the body. Antioxidants help fight the damaging effects of free radicals to reduce inflammation and cellular damage ( 15, 16). Why is peanut butter powder so popular? Bottom line: fewer calories and less fat with actual peanut butter flavor. And it has between 6-8 g protein per serving (brand dependent). Peanut butter powder is made from roasted peanuts that are pressed to remove most of the oil. This removes most of the fat calories leaving the peanut flavor and plant protein.

None use artificial sweeteners which we like. Naked PB is a peanuts-only brand for those wanting to avoid added sugar or salt. Brand comparison Step 2: Next, mix the cookie dough. In a large bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of PBfit powder with water until smooth. The unsaturated fats found in peanuts may also help the body burn more calories while at rest, but this effect has not been replicated in all studies. More research is needed ( 7, 8).While the nutrition facts label for PB2 does not contain information on vitamin E content, analysis of a similar product, peanut flour, can provide a comparison.

Defatted peanut flour, which is made by grinding up defatted peanuts, contains zero grams of fat and no vitamin E ( 17). Two tablespoons of natural peanut butter provide about 190 calories, while two tablespoons of PB2 provide just 45 calories ( 1, 2). PB2 is also a good source of fiber and protein, which studies show can help regulate appetite ( 3, 4).If you like a little salty with your sweet, sprinkle each freshly baked cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt. As an example 2 tablespoons of peanut butter is 190 calories with 16 grams of fat. By comparison PB2, probably the most popular of the peanut butter powders, weighs in at 60 calories and 1.5 grams of fat for the same amount. Sift in the remaining ½ cup of peanut butter powder. Or mix it in and AVOID LUMPS AT ALL COST!
