1 tsp Sriracha or 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

*Note: To lower the fat content, use defatted, powdered peanut butter such as Pure PB2 and add more water to adjust consistency.
A word of caution, if you are trying to lose weight, be mindful of portion sizes as peanuts are calorie dense. Alternatively, you can also use defatted powdered peanut butter that you can find in your local supermarket or online and mix it with enough water to make it the consistency you like. Just make sure the only ingredient is peanuts.
