I don’t know if this is sane, but I took this and added Barbecue sauce….I could die right now. DIE. Broccoli, almond butter AND barbecue sauce? Amazing.

I accidentally added twice the amount of almond milk to my latest batch of ABU, and to fix it, added pumpkin puree. FANTASTIC. I have no idea what to call it, but I ate it over roasted broccoli and kabocha squash for breakfast. A very HEAB start to my day!

Katie, I know what to call it – FREAKING BRILLIANT, or how about A-Bumpkin-U? Glad I made an appearance at your breakfast table. ;) P.S. I love that you eat roasted broccoli for breakfast – a girl after my own heart!

C, Another blogger created PBU using peanut butter, and I think it’s the name is a play on the low-fat powdered peanut butter called PB2: http://www.bellplantation.com/index.php?Itemid=35&id=15&option=com_content&task=view. It’s like “PB2 for you”. Hence PBU…hence my creation, ABU.

oh I thought PBU was for Peanut Butter University. I was thinking I’d like a sweatshirt with that on it.

Momof2, So glad to hear – pop to water will make a huge difference, and sometimes, broccoli is all you need. :)
