Did you know that 20 grams (about a tablespoon) of peanut butter gives you approximately 6 grams of protein? Almonds are roughly the same making this raw snickers bar a protein powerhouse treat!
Tahini is a rich source of protein and calcium. 20 grams of tahini gives you 4.4 grams of protein and a whopping 280mg of calcium! Always opt for unhulled over hulled. Unhulled means the outer shell remains in tact. If you choose hulled tahini, you are only getting 37mg of calcium. Keep in mind that most of the fibre is found in that outer shell.
Agave syrup has a low glycemic index so, teamed with protein has a positive effect on insulin sensitivity.
