Ok, you have my interest with the sweet potato part, it's one of my favorite foods! But how do you prepare it with peanut butter? Topped with it, or mashed together? I actually prefer almond butter over peanut, so might start experimenting. Never thought of these foods going together! Thanks for any more tips!

There's definitely no one way to do it, so definitely try experimenting. I normally mix the peanut butter and sweet potato together, add a tiny bit of milk (to get it moist), then heat it up in the microwave. Soooooo good.
I'll bet almond butter would be fantastic with it as well. I had a vanilla almond butter before. Best stuff in the world, but really pricy! They may as well have called it 'crack butter,' but I plan to make my own recipe and name it that one day. One day.

I'm also intrigued by this, but still am a little wary. I may give it a try when my boyfriend is not around. He does not share my infatuation with peanut butter.0 -
I snack @ 10 and 3 every day. Scheduled snacking keeps me from unscheduled food grabs that add up to WAY more calories. I try to do a fruit/vegetable and a small protein in my snacks.
This week I've got Peanutbutter and celery. I know it's old school but I happen to *LOVE* celery. I don't even need the PB to enjoy it but I add it for the protein and calories.
Afternoon right now is 2 clementines and a cheese stick.
So basically ANY fruit or vegetable.
For proteins I eat Nuts, PB, cheese, low sodium lunchmeat, nitrate free pepperoni (probably not a whole lot of protein but YUM), nuts, hummus or protein bars...
Even when I was losing weight I wouldn't want celery & peanut butter.0 -
It wasn't the ONLY thing I had listed. LMAO. It was just what I happened to have that day.
It's just the one the antagonistic (and apparently flag happy people) chose to focus on and pretend I didn't have any other foods in my post.
There were more calorie dense foods in the list. I posted them because they were healthy and the OP asked for
So that's what I provided. Those who just enjoy sniping chose to pull out the celery part and ignore everything else. On MPF SURELY you understand this.alisonstory wrote: »like a healthy ratio of macros
Had i known that celery would stir up such rage and annoyance I really would have left it completely out of my original thread. I had NO idea it was such a controversial food.0 -

Funny that, I just looked back so I could highlight where you said you were leaving.......
That whole post's gone, I wonder why?
ETA: peanut butter and celery has a healthy macro ratio for bulking? Carbs?

Oh look. We have flags. I wonder who flagged our posts. Maybe the person who's posts didn't get flagged?
I wonder if that person knows flagging posts when it isn't abuse gets you a warning by the mods?
That's good to hear. Not sure of the whole flag topic but seems people get flagged for having a different opinion!

Oops, sorry that my recommendations weren't really relevant. I still think they're tasty, though

I've been eating bagels with Gay Lea cinnamon & brown sugar butter, or your spread of choice. Actually, it works with a lot more things than bagels and bread (waffles, pancakes, pasta). Chocolate-covered nuts would work I think.
I've never bulked, just making suggestions.

Hm, I didn't know that was a thing. I used to make toast, butter it, and then top with cinnamon and sugar. This would allow me to be much lazier...I've been eating bagels with Gay Lea cinnamon & brown sugar butter, or your spread of choice.

This is kind of unconventional, but i love to dip a spoon in peanut butter then dip that into a mix of chia and sesame seeds. Its sweet and salty and crunchy and savory and satisfying. (The only thing its missing is chocolate)0

My god I thought I was naughty while bulking, you guys make me look like a health nut. I gotta try some of these ideas right now0

Someone posted in another thread that their husband spread peanut butter on his bacon. I will need to try this... (And bacon definitely wins over celery!)0

I just use celery as a medium for my topping -usually peanut butter. The same with bread in general. It's just a means to get to the butter/olive oil/peanut butter/jelly/etc. without directly eating those things alone....which I have been known to do anyway (I'm looking at you, honey butter from Outback....)0
