The Best Peanut Sauce Ever!

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is lower in calories and offers a different flavor profile.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces fat while maintaining creaminess.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free while liquid aminos provides a similar flavor.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

Combine 1/3 cup of creamy all-natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) to the mixture.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of sriracha for heat.

Grate about 1 inch of freshly minced ginger using a microplane.

Mince 1 clove of garlic using the microplane as well.

Stir the mixture together until smooth.

If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out, adding more as needed to reach desired consistency.

Note that the sauce will thicken when stored in the fridge, so plan to add more water later if needed.
