I am totally obsessed with peanut butter!
I put it on my pancakes instead of syrup, eat it with my apples and celery, and all sorts of things like that!
What ways do you incorporate peanut butter into your diet?

So much this!!! LOL sometimes I mix it with protein powder and roll into balls. But spoon is best! LOL4 -
I eat it straight from the jar sometimes but also love pb with apple slices for a snack4

I'm not a BIG fan for some reason. Too many calories for not big pay off for me:(
BUT I do occasionally put it on apple slices and I enjoy it.2 -
1. Spread on a soft taco shell, roll up and eat.
2. Dip for baby carrots
3. Mix with vanilla yogurt
4. Mini pb and jelly sandwiches using Ritz crackers instead of bread
I could go on and on lol, my user name says it all7 -
As a condiment on hamburgers (not kidding!). Sounded gross the first time I heard it, but tried it and now a 'burger just isn't complete without some PB on it.2

I've never had it with yogurt, that sounds awesome!0 -

On toast, on pancakes or waffles, in protein shakes, mixed with some Greek yogurt as a dip for apples or pears, Thai peanut sauce.. we go through a lot in this house!2

On a low carb wrap, with bacon.
In my post workout protein drink.
As a dip for apple slices or pretzel sticks.
In Thai red curry stew.
When I just gotta have a "fix", on a spoon.1 -

Try mixing about a tablespoon of peanut powder (e.g., PB2, JIF Peanut Powder) into a single serving cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.
As far as regular peanut butter, many people add it to chili. Smearing it onto a banana is obviously a classic.
Peanut butter is also the most consistent cure for the hiccups I've seen. Put a spoonful (about 1-1.5 tablespoons) into your mouth all at once, get it just wet enough to swallow, but don't chew it. This has worked 100% of the time for me since I was a kid and I've seen it work for other people dozens of times. Apparently it has something to do resetting your breathing, diaphragm and esophagus as you prepare yourself to swallow the peanut butter.2 -
Eating two fat slices of multigrain bread layered in peanut butter right now, with a big glass of ice cold milk. Been sick as a dog, so my calories are way down for today.
Not for long

I think my love of peanut butter is how I got fat in the 1st place!! Lol! On a spoon, on a piece of bread, pb&J, peanut butter cookies!! I couldn't think of eating celery without peanut butter!! However, I lost over 40 lbs, and peanut butter is now a special treat. I did find a way to get my pb fix though!! Toasted English Muffin (Light or Oatmeal Cinnamon with extra protein) with honey, a small amount of pb (for weight watching purposes) and sprinkle on top with a pinch of cinnamon. Best snack ever!!1

Oh! It's great mixed with maple syrup on pancakes. Even better on sweet potatoes! Odd I know, but SOOOO good!1

I love putting it in my oatmeal...mmm2

I forgot dates!! I like to use chocolate peanut butter in a split medjool date and freeze. It gets all firm and chewy. Kinda like a healthy snickers.5 -
I like to dip my apples in it...I also put it in my oats sometimes...it's the only way I'll eat celery other than soup.1

This.
But I have to be careful sometimes because it is very calorie dense and I can eat my way through a jar of peanut butter in just a few minutes. Usually, I'll weigh the jar first so I can weigh it after I'm done and enter the difference. It is often an empty jar that I'm weighing at the end. As I get towards the end and am struggling to scrape the last bits out of the jar, it finally occurs to me that I just ate nearly all of my day's calories.

Now that's an addiction!
I have to stay away from peanut butter most of the time because of this very reason. 2 tbsp leads to 4, 4 leads to 8, then I find myself coming back for another 8. hah.

My bedtime snack this time of year is PB, apple, and cheese.
I also like PB in chocolate yogurt.
I used to have PB banana smoothies every day for breakfast but alas my veggie smoothie keeps me fuller longer for less calories.
Here's a savory recipe:
Spicy Peanut Sesame Noodles
Source: Joy of Cooking with simplifications
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
• 1 C peanut butter
• 1/4 C rice vinegar (If using cider vinegar decrease to 2 T. Do not use white or red vinegar.)
• 2 T soy sauce
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1 or more jalapeño or other chili peppers, chopped, seeded for less spicy
• 1 1/2 T sugar or honey
• 1 t salt
• 1/4 C sesame oil
• 1/2 C freshly brewed black tea
• 1 pound Chinese egg noodles or spaghetti (I probably decrease this to 8-12 oz)
• 2 t toasted sesame oil
• 4 C shredded cooked chicken
• cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips
• cilantro
• peanuts, coarsely chopped
Directions:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients (through the black tea) in a food processor and blend thoroughly. The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for a week. Allow to return to room temperature and stir well before using.
2. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling unsalted water until soft. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool.
3. Toss the noodles thoroughly with toasted sesame oil.
4. Place in a serving dish and add chicken, if using. Top with the sauce and stir together gently.
5. Garnish with cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts.2
