Ill readily admit that the first thing that drew me to this recipe was the crave-worthy flavor.

Plus, you can make it even healthier by replacing the brown sugar with a healthy sugar substitute like Swerves brown sugar. (No calories and all the sweetness? Yes please!)
But this recipe also has a lot going for it when it comes to healthy eating. (And its WAY better tasting than some other classically healthy dishes like raw kale with a side of celery ugh.)
Theres the whole wheat angel pasta for that indulgent texture the refreshing carrots and the irresistible spices.
But the real star of the show is the peanut butter.
Did you know that in addition to being totally delicious (whether in this recipe or by itself on a spoon)… peanut butter is also full of protein?
Just 2 tablespoons of peanut butter contains 8 grams of protein
And those chopped peanuts you top this lo mein with? That small cup holds over 9 MORE grams of protein!
Now, when I did some research into the benefits of protein & why its so important to get enough of it in your diet I was shocked to find out that not only is protein essential for building & repairing muscle and tissue
But protein also plays a crucial role in burning fat!
In fact, one study found that when people increased their protein intake just a little bit (only a 15-30% daily increase)… they burned an average of 441 MORE calories the next day!
