Vanilla Espresso Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter is one of my favourite foods so it just makes senses that I also love to make my own as well. I actually prefer to make my own nut butters because this way I know exactly what goes into them and they don't contain hydrogenated oils or refined sugars. I don't have exact measurements for my vanilla espresso peanut butter, I have estimates and then I just taste as I go and decide when the mixture is perfect! After I finish this jar up (which won't take long) I plan to create a cinnamon roll peanut butter and eventually a cake batter peanut butter so stay tuned!

What You'll Need: 

2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts

approx. 3 tsp. powdered instant coffee

approx. 4 tsp. honey 

approx. 1 tsp. vanilla

1. Put peanuts in food processor, allow them to blend and oils to begin extracting for about 7 minutes. 

2. Now, add coffee, vanilla and honey. Allow food processor to run for about 15 mins. scraping down side occasionally. Your peanut butter is ready once it is a nice creamy texture, so jar it and enjoy!

 

Versus: iogo Greko 0% vanilla greek yogurt vs. Silhouette 0% vanilla greek yogurt

I am a big greek yogurt fan. I have tried multiple brands so I decided to compare two brands I eat the most often and talk about which one I recommend. 

 

Comparing the nutrition facts of both brands is crucial, the Silhouette brand does contain less calories at 50 cal. per 100g serving while the iogo brand contains 150 cal. per 175g serving but the nutritional value of the iogo brand vanilla greek yogurt is much more beneficial. It has 15g protein, 35% calcium, 25% vitamin D and is sweetened with sugar and honey while the opposing Silhouette brand has 8g protein, 8% calcium, no vitamin D and is sweetened with Sucralose, an artificial sweetener, and you can tell.

The taste of the iogo 0% vanilla greek yogurt is much more natural, it tastes pure, and real, the texture is also much more creamy while still containing no fat. The Silhouette 0% vanilla greek yogurt tastes like chemicals, you can taste the artificial sweeteners, and the vanilla flavour does not taste natural. The texture is also not as creamy and feels a fat free greek yogurt. Price wise they are about the same price, around $4.99 per 500g container. 

In conclusion I would definitely recommend The iogo greko 0% vanilla greek yogurt over the Silhouette 0% vanilla greek yogurt :)
