Low Calorie Peanut Butter Spread Tips

TEXTURE TIP: Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. If any curds remain, the spread will taste more like cottage cheese dip than peanut butter.
BLENDER TIP: If your blender struggles with a small batch, double the recipe so the blades have enough volume to catch and blend smoothly.
FLAVOR TIP: Add a small pinch of salt if you want the peanut butter flavor to taste stronger.
THICKNESS TIP: The spread thickens as it chills. If it is too thick, add a small splash of milk or syrup. If it is too thin, add more powdered peanut butter and chill again.
BAKING TIP: This is best used as a spread, dip, or topping. It is not a direct replacement for regular peanut butter in baked recipes because it has more moisture and less fat.
MACRO TIP: The listed macros are based on low-fat cottage cheese, powdered peanut butter, and sugar-free syrup. Regular syrup, honey, agave, or added peanut butter will change the calories, carbs, and fat.
STORAGE TIP: Store in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving if any liquid separates.
