November 21, 2013 by The Nutrition Twins Leave a Comment

We feel like we adore peanut butter as much (if not more!)
than our kids do.  If you are like us,
you’ll be happy to know that there’s an entire month dedicated to our
love!  And rightfully so! 

After all, who
doesn’t fancy dipping apples or celery in peanut butter for a delicious boost
of protein and nutrients?  Your entire
family will eat this right up!

In honor of this month being National Peanut Butter Lover’s
Month, we bring you this easy, healthy and delish peanut butter recipe that
everyone in your family is sure to love – Banana Peanut Butter Bread! Um, yum!
