Smart Balance Chunky Peanut Butter & Flaxseed Oil Blend
What it is
This is a spread made from peanuts and flaxseed oil. The blend aims to provide the familiar taste of peanut butter with the added benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from the flaxseed oil. It is a good source of healthy fats. The texture is chunky, meaning it contains pieces of peanuts throughout the spread.
How people cook with it
This spread can be used in many of the same ways as regular peanut butter. It is versatile for both sweet and savory applications.
- On toast
- In smoothies
- As a sandwich filling
- Drizzled over oatmeal
You can spread this peanut butter blend on your morning toast or incorporate it into a sandwich for a quick and satisfying meal. It blends well into smoothies, adding creaminess and a nutty flavor. For a more complex dish, it can be used as a base for sauces or dressings, providing a rich and slightly sweet undertone. It is also delicious stirred into warm oatmeal or yogurt for added texture and taste. Its smooth yet chunky consistency makes it easy to incorporate into various recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from standard peanut butter primarily due to the inclusion of flaxseed oil. This addition introduces omega-3 fatty acids, which are not typically found in high amounts in regular peanut butter. The overall fat composition is also adjusted to create a unique product.
Who it is for
People looking for a peanut butter alternative with added omega-3s might choose this spread.
