Mongoose Schema missing values and showing errors

I have a userSchema that has this structure: 

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    username: {type:String, required: true, unique: true},
    email: {type: String, required: true, unique: true},
    password: { type: String, required: true},

I am using Postman right now for testing and I am submitting username, email, password as you see under RUNNING! in the object below is the req.body from the post so I can see what the server is seeing.

RUNNING!
{ username: 'TestUser',
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'Password' }
{ ValidationError: User validation failed: email: Path `email` is required.

        reason: undefined,
        [Symbol(mongoose:validatorError)]: true } },
  _message: 'User validation failed',
  name: 'ValidationError' }

Controller: 

const makeANewUser = (req, res) => {
    const newUser = new User({username: req.body.username, password: req.body.password})
    //register is a mongoose method, passing in the user and the password, the it will take care of hashing and all that.
    User.register(newUser, req.body.password, (err, user) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(req.body);
            console.log(err);
            return res.send("There was an error and it is...." + err);
            alert(error);
        }
        passport.authenticate('local')(req, res, function () {
            console.log(user);
            res.send(user.username);
        });
    });
};

I am seeing an email so why would Mongoose be giving me this error? I cannot do anything new until this is resolved, seems weird.

The call to new User isn't picking up the email field from req.body
