Packed with protein & fiber, this quick & simple salad with fill you up when you are in a hurry.
The edamame (you green soy beans) can be found in the frozen section at the grocery store. Make quick work of it by buying shelled edamame. Edamame has a mildly sweet flavor and can make a quick snack.
To cut the fat but still get the peanut butter flavor, we are using a powdered peanut butter in this recipe. Powdered peanut butter has been de-fatted (so it’s lower in fat and calories) and just needs a little water to rehydrate it to a smooth consistency.
Out of edamame? Swap in chickpeas. No almonds in the pantry? Use whatever nut of choice you have on hand.
This recipe is a favorite of my daughter, Leah. She’ll make a batch and eat it for lunch throughout the week.
