What is PB2 chocolate powder?

A lot of my recipes include PB2 chocolate powder...
and not many people know what it is...

So here it is!

Its literally peanut butter powder with cocoa or without.

They take the peanuts take out the fat and make a lower calorie version of peanut butter. Its great for recipes like the ones I have on the blog.

You can add milk or water to 2 tsp of it and make a spread for breads and pancakes etc.

Its available at most health food stores and some coles stores.

Enjoy!

Healthy Paleo Pad Thai

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

3 medium to large zucchinis

3 large carrots

1 medium onion, peeled and sliced thin

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced

4 Tbsp almond butter

1 chipotle chilli pepper 

1 lime, juiced

2 green onions, white and green parts sliced thin

Method

Trim the ends and then use a peeler and peel strips of zucchini ribbons.

 Transfer “noodles” into a large bowl.

Trim carrot ends then peel the carrot. Continue to use a vegetable peeler  to 

peel carrot directly into the large bowl.

Warm olive or coconut oil in a large pan. 

Add chicken thighs or breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. 

Remove from pan, slice into bite-sized pieces, and keep warm.

Add onions to pan and sauté for 2 minutes or until they begin to soften and 

become translucent.

Add almond butter, ginger, chipotle chilli, and lime juice. Stir to combine and 

simmer for 1 minute (mixture will be thick).

Add zucchini and carrot noodles and stir to distribute the sauce throughout the 

noodles. 

Enjoy!
