While Valentine’s Day puts many in the mood for chocolate (as if they were not every other day!), I wouild be remiss if I did not mention that another holiday related to a favorite food had recently passed.

For those who may not be aware, National Peanut Butter Day was celebrated on January 24, and this year, there may be more ways to enjoy it than ever!

In addition to such tried and true tongue toppers as Boston’s local legend Teddie and New Orleans fave Beyond the Equator, (not to mention the PB-drenched “wings” from Chocolate Pizza Co.), I recently found two new contenders for best option to eat with chocolate (or by themselves).

While many may think of sticky messes when they think (or dream) of peanut butter, PBFit brings all the flavor with far less mess and nearly 90% less fat! Each lip-smacking serving is only 70 calories and can be used in smoothies or recipes like Pad Thai and other international favorites.

Speaking of international favorites, our friends at Huel have also entered the sticky legume ring with a peanut butter-flavored mix and bar. Surely, these will help the world’s best-selling complete nutrition brand to become even more popular, as the vegan and high-protein natural roasted peanut flavor shines through in smoothies or just out of the wrapper and the 27 vitamins and minerals make any day more satisfying!

So if you are looking for something to pair up with your VDay chocolates or just to enjoy on its own to get a protein and flavor punch like no other, be saure to mark January 24 on your calendar and stock up for next year (or next week) with these tasty treats.
