(HealthNewsDigest.com) – ATLANTA – As if getting children to eat well isn’t enough of a struggle, along comes Halloween.This year, America’s peanut farmers are here to help. The National Peanut Board has cooked up some tasty, nutritious and affordable alternatives with five fun new recipes just for the occasion:
§ Peanut Butter Ball Spiders (Peanut butter, wheat pretzels, chocolate chips)
§ Witch Faces (Peanut butter, frozen waffles, raisins, fruit leather)
§ Zombie Fingers (Chicken breast cutlets dusted in peanut flour and pan fried)
§ Mummy Milk (Milk blended with peanut butter and chocolate syrup with whipped cream)
§ Peanut Candy Corn Trail Mix
USA-grown peanuts and peanut butter are smart options because they’re packed with protein, nutrient rich and full of antioxidants. Not only do kids love the flavor, they’ll also enjoy helping mom and dad make the recipes.
“Peanuts and peanut butter are more than a tasty snack; they provide a prime combination of protein and power-releasing nutrients like niacin and folate to fuel thoughts and actions. So it is a wise decision to incorporate them in our daily diets,” said Bonnie Johnson, NPB registered dietician.
The National Peanut Board represents all USA peanut farmers and their families. Through research and marketing initiatives the Board is finding new ways to enhance production and increase consumer demand by promoting the great taste, nutrition and culinary versatility of USA-grown peanuts.
