Nut butters are delightful … peanut, almond, hazelnut and more. I love them all. But this trEAT is simple … and pictured here with all natural peanut butter and a black apple. That’s a thing. Seriously. I found ’em at our local co-op. I bought two … ’cause they don’t come cheap. Firm and minimally sweet and just juicy enough. But they’re like top shelf liquor when it comes to apples. Like I said, a trEAT. But you can use any ol’ apple, really. We often do.

Pictured here, the fruit is topped with raisins and pepitas (I use whatever I have on hand). Raisins. They’re full of iron and calcium and a good source of fiber, pepitas (pumpkin seeds) are a good source of magnesium – which has been studied and proven to reduce blood sugar and be good for cardiovascular health. And protein … protein’s a plenty with these bite-sized morsels. So good for you, this little trEAT is. And no cooking to boot!

Did I mention they’re good for you? And they’re delicious. What?! Truth. That’s the key for me, really. It’s gotta taste good, or no go. These do! And they’re wicked simple. They go like this:

1 apple (any kind) | peanut butter | raisins | pepitas

An easy portable breakfast, or, if you have the time, have a seat. Make some coffee. Or maybe tea. And enjoy. Not just the trEAT, but the whole scene. You deserve it.
