mmmm. peanut butter.

winwin

anybody love peanut butter like I do?

I usually have a samosa salad, but my daughter can't stop eating them and goes over her limit for the day, so she asked me to please not make them any more. I love them in a salad because with lots of lettuce, I usually use about three cups and different fillers, I can munch for a long time and they can be pretty low in all categories.

So, to help her on her quest I didn't make any samosas. Then I didn't know what to have for supper in my salad. I usually have an apple and peanut butter for a snack and thought I would throw them in with the lettuce and some cottage cheese. Don't say "yuck" until you try it. I melted two tbsp of peanut butter in the microwave and mixed one cut up apple, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 3 cups of lettuce. For anyone daring enough, here is the nutrition info.

cal - 368
carbs- 36
fat - 17
prot - 22
chol - 10
sodium - 761
sug - 23
fiber - 7

I can't find any info about this and don't know what you are suggesting? Where can I find it and what is it called. Thanks for the suggestion. Does it taste like peanut butter?

I love pb on banana....it is the best! Before starting to watch calories, I would sometimes have a pb and banana and mayonnaise sandwich on wheat bread. You can also try pb, mayo and lettuce. So, all that being said, I can't wait to try this salad!!!!! Thanks! Also, Sarge, I will check out your suggestion!

LOVE PB....I was just coming her to post asking if there is a rec brand
I've been buying 365 (WF) brand for the kids..not sure how it is calorie wise compared to other lighter versions?

Thanks, kim

sgtinvincible

Yeah, it's actually really really good. Only downside is that you have to order it from bell (sorry I forgot that link in my OP). It does taste just like peanut butter, I love it on sandwiches with smuckers sugar free strawberry preserves. That's good eatin'.

have you ever tried sunflower butter...sooo good!

I don't have anymore to give the nutrients sorry, but its an amazing switch for those w/ peanut allergies...course, they'd need to be able to have seeds LOL...ah well. you get the point right?

hugs!
