Many dieters worry about having to give up desserts when they’re following diet plans for weight loss. It is true that you need to cut sugars and refined carbohydrates from your diet in order to achieve your weight loss goals. However, you can still enjoy delicious and healthy dessert alternatives which may satisfy your craving for sweets. If you like peanut butter cookies, then you’re going to like this lighter version, too. These Peanut Butter Drops taste great and they’re easy to bake. Since they are low in calories and carbs, you can enjoy them, guilt free, even when you’re losing weight.
Although some people think of peanut butter as “kids’ food,” it’s actually quite nutritious and filling. It turns out there are plenty of other good reasons for including peanut butter as part of your balanced diet plan for weight loss. A serving of peanut butter (2 tbsp) has
3 mg of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, 49 mg of bone-building magnesium, 208 mg of muscle-friendly potassium, and 0.17 mg of immunity-boosting vitamin B6. A serving of peanut butter also packs a good amount of the heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
