Add puréed carrots to peanut butter to cut calories and add a boost of healthy vitamins and fibre. Best of all, it tastes great.
  1. Boil carrots in a small saucepan of water until soft, about 20 min. Drain and transfer to a food processor or blender. Add peanut butter. Purée until smooth.

  2. My home ec teacher taught us to grate raw carrot onto a peanut butter sandwich over forty five years ago and it remains one of my favorite treats. The raw carrot adds a crispy crunch and great flavour!

  3. How long can you store this without it turning bad? One of the nice things about plain old PB is that it will last in the fridge for a very long time without going bad. What is the "shelf life" of PB plus pureed cooked carrots? For one person, 1 cup of PB may take a long time to use up.

  4. What is the "shelf life" of this mixture in the fridge? One of the wonderful things about good old PB is the very long shelf life. By adding cooked, pureed carrots to PB, the shelf life would certainly be shorter, but I don't know the new timeline. One cup of PB could take a single person a long time to use.
