Peanut Butter and Celery Sticks

Ingredients

• Celery sticks 100 g
• Natural peanut butter 2 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the celery. Rinse the celery sticks under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Trim off the leafy tops and the base of the celery stalks if needed, then cut the celery into sticks about 4 to 5 inches long for easy handling.
   Tip: Make sure the celery is dry so the peanut butter sticks well.
2. Spread peanut butter. Using a butter knife or a small spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter. Spread a generous amount of peanut butter evenly inside the groove of each celery stick. You can also fill the groove fully or spread on one side depending on your preference.
   Tip: If the peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften for easier spreading.
3. Serve and enjoy. Arrange the peanut butter-filled celery sticks on a plate and enjoy immediately as a nutritious snack. This snack is best eaten fresh to keep the celery crisp.
   Tip: Pair with a glass of milk or your favorite fruit for a balanced snack.

Pro tips

• Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils for a healthier option.
• To add crunch, sprinkle some raisins or chopped nuts on top of the peanut butter.
