Thai Buddha Bowl

I used to throw peanut butter in everything—my sauces, my smoothies, my mouth. Then I learned peanuts are not actually nuts, but super acidic legumes susceptible to a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin, which also feeds candida. Not so appetizing. I switched to sunflower seed butter and my life (and pH levels) have never been better! I kid you peanot!
