The Peanut Institute created the 30/30 Peanut Challenge as a way to remind people of the health benefits of the nut, which is cost-effective, as well as packed with plant-based protein, vitamins and minerals. The challenge invites people to get 30 peanuts into their daily diet, or two tablespoons of peanut butter, for the course of 30 days. Thanks to their versatility, peanuts have the potential to be incorporated into any meal throughout the day with smoothies, salads, stews, soups and snacks in between.
During the challenge, The Peanut Institute will be giving away 30 gift baskets throughout the month of November, as well as asking people to share their experiences via social media using #peanutchallenge.
