Powdered peanut butter might seem like a novelty at first – just a new way to enjoy an old favorite – but it's so much more than that.
It’s made from pressing roasted peanuts, which removes the oil. The nut particles are then ground into a fine powder. Yet, it still maintains a delicious, nutty flavor.
This article will briefly explain the difference between traditional peanut butter and powdered peanut butter, and then list several delicious smoothie recipes using powdered peanut butter.
Traditional Peanut Butter VS Powdered Peanut Butter
Because the oil is removed in powdered peanut butter, there are pretty significant nutritional differences.
Just to show you the difference, let's look at the difference between a popular natural peanut butter and Naked PB.
