Summer is here and 4th of July is quickly approaching! Let Crazy Richard’s be a part of your celebrations with these fun summer patriotic treats. All of these fun and festive recipes are added sugar free and true to our Crazy Richard’s philosophy that peanut butter doesn’t need any “extras” (sugar, salt, preservatives, etc.) to satisfy!
No Added Sugar PB&J Dip
This is such a simple idea and perfect as a fruit dip…apple and pear slices would go great with it! All you need is:
- 1/2 jar of Crazy Richard’s creamy peanut butter at room temperature
- 1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
Mix the thawed raspberries and chia seeds together in a bowl until they’re good and combined. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Pour in the peanut butter and stir halfway to create a fun swirled pattern. Serve and enjoy!
Stars and Stripes Toast
Summer holidays can often mean road trips to see family or friends, or having family or friends come to see you. These festive and healthy toast options are perfect for a crowd. You can even set up a build your own toast bar and let people customize their own.
- Spreads: Creamy or Crunchy PB, or plain yogurt
- Fruit: strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
- Additional toppings: chia seeds, hemp seeds, chocolate chips
