In the nutrition world, for many out there peanuts are a big no-no.
It may not seem like a big deal to me to give up peanuts until you remember there are many decadent delicious recipes that call for peanut sauce. Veggies dipped in peanut sauce. Grilled chicken satay dipped in peanut sauce. Shredded beef wrapped in a butter lettuce leaf with diced red onion and drizzled with… peanut sauce.
You get the idea.
In looking for solutions for Sweat Nation clients I came across Sunbutter. Creamy. Nutty. Made from beautiful, healthy-fat-filled sunflower seeds.
We took a recipe we were playing online and came up with Sunshine Sauce!!
