    My recipe is:
    150g plain unsweetened yogurt (can use pre-sweetened, but doesn't get as pie-like, even sitting in the fridge overnight. )
    6-8 grams stevia in the raw powder (taste after 2 tsp and tweak from there)
    A couple drops each vanilla and butter flavoring
    5g creamy natural pb
    18g Pb2

    It's just over 200 cals and has 22g of protein. You can lower cals by skipping the real PB.

    Whoops. 10g real PB. (I was thinking of my half size recipe when I wrote 5. The more peanut butter fat, the more pie-like it is.)

    Slice a banana up and put in the freezer for a while then spread some pb on a half and put an other have on top to make little banana pb sandwich and dip one side in dark chocolate :)

    In my humble opinion, the quintessential PB&J is:

    Arnold Brick Oven bread
    Skippy Super Chunk Peanut Butter
    St. Dalfour Black Raspberry Jam (NOT Blackberry!)

    Put the PB on one slice; spread Kerry Gold unsalted butter on the other slice first, then spread with jam. It keeps the jam from soaking into the bread, especially if you're packing it for lunch.

    HOWEVER...peanuts are not Paleo, so I am currently substituting almond butter. I get the fresh ground from Whole Foods. It's awesome.

    I just hope you can see how silly paleo is by just this one statement. :wink:

    I also make a delicacy out of bananas cut in 3 or 4" chunks, split lengthwise, spread with almond (or peanut) butter, insert a slice of good cooked bacon, top with other half of banana, and dip one end in dark chocolate. Place a few of these on a pan and freeze til the chocolate sets.

    Don't blame me if you eat too many!

    I like to make my own. I go grab a pound of unsalted roasted peanuts and throw them into my NiNjA blender. I add some chipotle powder, some salt, and a few other spices. I then blend until it is the consistency I want. Makes a great smoky/spicy nut butter that pairs great with sweet honey/jam The spiced nut butter and sweetness of the jam make a great taste combo.

    I can eat with anything but my current favourite is peanut butter banana milkshake.

    Frozen banana, peanut butter, protein powder (optional!), milk (I use soy but any personal preference works) blended into creamy deliciousness. I sometimes add unsweetened cocoa for a chocolatey version.

    In quantities too large to have nearly as often as I'd like. LOL. But when I work them in, usually as part of a sauce for udon or rice noodles.

    I have switched to the PB2 powdered, even though I am not a huge fan of Peanut Butter except as the occasional boredom/emotion salve. It's close enough I am happy with the switch.

    But giving up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups...... :'(:(

    I'll use PB2 depending on what I'm making, but there are some times it just won't sub for the real thing. Hehe

    I really love the natural peanut butters. A few months ago I had a tsp of the peanut butter with sugar in it...yuck.
    I like to have a little bowl with a couple of tsps of natural pb, and this week I actually put 1/2 tsp of chocolate icing it. Tastes like Reeses

    I try to avoid it because its a bit of a trigger food for me. But when I can have a little, Ill use it for dip on my veggies. Celery, carrots, bananas, whatever.

    I like the flavor and texture of it, so I tend to not mix it in as an ingredient with other foods (aside from peanut butter cookies).

    You could also do no bake peanut butter bars. So good. Just gotta watch how much sugar you add. I suppose you could make it with erythritol.
