Overnight PB Oats

Need a quickie no-cook breakfast? Ashvini Mashru, R.D. and author of Small Steps to Slim, recommends busting out your powdered PB.

Smoothies are one of the best ways to use powdered PB, because the slightly grittier texture will barely be noticeable. “The texture is not as smooth and creamy [as traditional PB],” Mashru says. “[However,] it incorporates smoothly and easily into smoothies, batters, and more.”

Powdered PB will taste great in any smoothie you’d ordinarily make with nut butter, but a classic PB, banana, and almond milk is consistently a hit. Add a handful of kale or spinach to get your greens in, too.
