This Nutty Falafel is perfect for lunch or dinner, it’s simple and most importantly, tasty. The addition of JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter is nutty in the best way.

Great Summer Recipes
Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops with chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, Justin's honey peanut butter jar and two bananas

Contrary to what you may be thinking the “PB” in this Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops recipe stands for “perfectly blended (flavors)”. Ok not really, but that doesn’t make it untrue. This recipe is tasty and a great way to stay cool on hot days. I make them with JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter, fresh bananas, and decorate them with sprinkles. It’s a great project that you can make and eat with the kids!

 

Peanut Miso Veggie Stiry Fry with chopsticks on a marbled plate and dipping sauce on a marbled countertop

This flavorful dish was inspired by my love for Asian cuisine. It’s entirely vegetarian and feels like a treat everytime I make it. The combination of zesty, sweet, and savory miso sauce over a bed of veggies and noodles, is the perfect dinner recipe for any night.

Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal Cookie Bars on parchment papers on a black rectangular tray on a white background

We did it, we combined everyone’s favorite flavors into one perfect cookie bar. Chocolate? Check. Peanut Butter? That too. Banana? You know it. Oatmeal? Obviously. Plus, these could not be any easier to make. You only need one bowl and no crazy ingredients. The hardest part of making these cookie bars will be waiting for them to cool.
