Find yourself reaching for the peanut butter jar more than 3 times a day?

Got multiple jars on the go at all times – one at home, one at work and one at your significant other's?

Think about re-evaluating your friendship with those who don't have the same stance as you on the crunchy/smooth debate?

If you answered yes to all three questions, you might just be obsessed with peanut butter.

But don't worry, because although it has a fair few calories, your favourite nutty spread is actually pretty good for you. It's brimming with protein, fibre and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (just make sure you buy peanut butter that contains no added sugar or palm oil).
