***PB2 is a highly versatile, powdered form of peanut butter with 85% of the natural oils removed. A 2-tablespoon serving of PB2 contains about 60 calories and 1.5g of fat, compared to regular peanut butter which has roughly 190 calories and 16g of fat.

***Coconut aminos is a dark, savory, and slightly sweet sauce made from the fermented sap of coconut blossoms and sea salt. Free of soy, wheat, and gluten, this is a popular, allergy-friendly alternative to traditional soy sauce or tamari.
