OK, so maybe "national" refers to the U.S. only, but we sure wish Canada would join the fun and make January 24 a day dedicated to peanut butter, too! To celebrate this hopefully-soon-to-be-Canadian holiday, we’re talking all things PB with CLIF Bar and leading registered dietitian Abby Langer (read to the end to learn how you could win a $50 CLIF Bar Adventure Prize Pack). —Noa Nichol
Allergies may have given peanut butter a bit of a bad rap in recent years but, for those of us not allergic, why should we continue to include PB in our diets?
Peanut butter is a source of folate, protein, fibre, magnesium and other vitamins and minerals. It’s also a fantastic source of good fats!
What makes PB a kitchen staple for many athletes?
It’s portable, delicious and contains not only protein to build and repair muscles but also a bit of carbohydrate—because peanuts are actually legumes! The carbohydrate can deliver long-lasting energy to athletes and active Canadians that are engaged in strenuous activity for extended periods.
Why would you recommend products like CLIF Bars that include PB as part of a healthy diet?
CLIF Bar and the all-new organic CLIF Nut Butter Filled energy bars have a mix of carbohydrates and protein to provide energy to active people. They also taste incredible!
The classic PB sandwich—what’s YOUR favourite way to make it?
I love peanut butter with coconut and cacao nibs. YUM.
