just better.® Recipe of the Week: Prebiotic Spicy Peanut Sauce

March is full of flavor—and our fiber-forward sauce brings it all together. We’re celebrating two food holidays in one with a bold, gut-healthy spin on a takeout favorite: spicy peanut sauce.

The just better.® version skips the heavy oils and added sugars, using peanut butter powder for extra protein and a healthier-for-you ingredient list. We start by dissolving just better.® prebiotic fiber in water to create a functional base that supports gut health, digestion, and fiber-intake goals— without changing the taste or texture of your finished sauce. 

Use it as a dip for veggies, a drizzle for grain bowls, or a creamy topping for grilled proteins or tofu. However you pour it, it’s packed with flavor—and it’s fiber-rich! 

🥜 Ingredient Highlight: 

Peanut Butter Powder: Peanut butter powder delivers the nutty flavor of traditional peanut butter with far less fat and added oil. It’s made by pressing roasted peanuts to remove most of the natural oil, then grinding what’s left into a fine powder.

It’s naturally high in plant-based protein, making it a great fit for recipes where you want full flavor and a lighter consistency. In this recipe, it forms the perfect base for our spicy, prebiotic-powered sauce. 

just better.® Prebiotic Fiber: Made from non-GMO, soluble corn fiber, just better.®, is a flavorless, odorless, completely dissolvable fiber that disappears into any recipe—without changing the taste or texture. It is a powerful (but gentle) source of prebiotic soluble fiber, supporting gut health, digestion, blood sugar balance, and microbial diversity. 

These two ingredients set the foundation—now here’s how they come together in a sauce you’ll want on your meal prep rotation! 

🔥🥜 Prebiotic Spicy Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

¾ cup powdered peanut butter

3 tablespoons just better.® prebiotic fiber

⅓ cup water

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon coconut aminos, liquid aminos, or low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or agave

1 to 2 tablespoons chili paste (adjust to your heat preference)

¼ teaspoon garlic powder 

• Optional:

½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (for warmth)

½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil (for depth)

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, dissolve the just better.® prebiotic fiber in the water, stirring until fully dissolved.

Whisk in the powdered peanut butter until smooth.

Add remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Stir/shake before using. 

From Pantry to Plate: Why Fiber Belongs in Your Sauces

When we think about fiber, we often picture big salads or grain bowls—but sauces? They’re usually the last place people expect it. And that’s exactly why they’re such a smart place to start.

Every tablespoon of just better.® prebiotic fiber adds 5 grams of soluble, gut-supportive fiber to your meals—without changing the flavor, texture, or appearance of your food. By stirring it into everyday staples like sauces, dressings, or dips, you add functional support for your microbiome, digestion, and whole-body wellness.

This peanut sauce delivers 15 grams of prebiotic fiber in the batch alone. That’s a meaningful upgrade from something most people wouldn’t think twice about. It’s a small, intentional step that adds up—especially when it’s this delicious. 😋

Wrap-Up

Our Prebiotic Spicy Peanut Sauce brings the heat and the fiber. Whether you’re stirring it into noodles, spooning it over grain bowls, or dipping veggies at snack time, you’re getting bold flavor and prebiotic support in every bite.

Happy National Sauce Month—and Happy National Peanut Month, too! 🥜💚
