This is a great share from my clinical instructor- nut butters are a great way to balance the carbs and sweets..

Example- banana and a nut butter... Yummy and our bodies benefit from it greatly from energy etc..

There are just some things that are meant to go together....

Plus homemade equals less preservatives and additives because you know what's in it...
