Clean Eating Perfect Peanut Sauce

Makes about 1 cup of sauce
This really is as good as the name sounds and very easy to make. I could eat this every single day and never get tired of it :) If you’re really pressed for time, you can even just combine all of the ingredients and heat in the microwave. I usually quadruple the recipe to make a big batch and then freeze it in 1/2 and 1 cup portions for a quick throw together meal.

Perfect Peanut Sauce over pasta and veggies

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup smooth natural peanut butter
• ¼ cup light coconut milk (or skim milk and 1 tsp coconut extract or even just plain milk/water if you don't like coconut)
• ¼ cup water
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sucanat/honey
• 1 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
• 1 clove crushed garlic

ONE: Throw everything into a small saucepan (or medium if you're making more than one batch at once) and whisk well.

TWO: Heat over medium heat until sauce begins to bubble and thicken. You only want the sauce to thicken slightly until it just starts to coat the back of a spoon because it will thicken quite a bit more while it stands and once you've poured it over your pasta or whatever you're serving it with. If it gets too thick, thin it with a little bit of chicken broth or skim milk.

JUST coating the spoon... as soon as you see this get it off of the heat ASAP :)

Freeze using the small portions method to use as a dip or medium/large portions method to use as a sauce. Serve hot or cold.
