Readers who enjoy their peanut butter topped with something sweet can rejoice – Mayver’s has released two limited-edition spreads flavoured with honey and berries. The first is made using Bee Products’ manuka honey, which is hand-harvested and contains 100 per cent New Zealand honey, while the second includes cranberries, blueberries and goji berries as well as apple juice concentrate for added sweetness.
Mayver’s ambassador and dietitian Susie Burrell says combining honey with peanut butter can help prevent potential sugar highs and crashes that you might get from enjoying honey by itself. “Rather than having a smear of butter and honey on toast, when you mix a 100 per cent natural peanut butter like Mayver’s with honey, you get a dose of protein in your meal,” Susie said. “This helps provide you with a sustained release of energy throughout the day and stops the risk of a mid-morning energy crash that might see you grabbing for snack foods.”
Susie said Mayver’s berry-flavoured peanut butter was a much healthier alternative to ‘PB&J’, which typically contained high levels of sugar thanks to the addition of jam. “A 20g serve of Mayver’s Limited Edition Berry Peanut Butter only contains 2g of sugar, so this spread would be the perfect flavour base for a smoothie or in your favourite recipes, such as muffins or cakes.”
Both limited-edition peanut butters are available at Woolworths and Coles supermarkets. For more information, visit mayvers.com.au
