Why Peanut Butter Is Good For Your Health:

"Not only is it filling and healthy, it is also great if you're trying to lose weight."

If you thought that peanut butter sandwiches were only for kids, here's something you should know. Peanut butter has several health benefits â€” it has the enviable combination of fibre and protein, which makes it filling. This makes you feel full longer, so you end up eating less overall. It is also packed with nutrition because a serving of peanut butter has 3 mg of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, 49 mg of bone-building magnesium, 208 mg of muscle-friendly potassium, and 0.17 mg of immunity-boosting vitamin B6. Studies have also shown that having peanuts can reduce the risk of heart disease,diabetes and other types of chronic health conditions. One study even found that consuming one ounce of nuts or two tablespoons of peanut butter about five times a week can lower the risk of developing diabetes by a whopping 30%.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup whole milk

• 1/2 cup half and half cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
