Low-cal peanut butter recommendations

dreambig_gohome

Does anyone know of a low calorie peanut butter that still tastes decent? I just looked at the peanut butter we have and couldn't believe the 190 calories for two tablespoons. I have no idea if I actually put that on my pb&j, but I wanted to know if there were other options out there. Thanks!

Better n' butter is REALLY good, but it's super high in carbs. I'm usually a natural PB kinda gal, so it's really on the sweet side. But, for half the cals of the regular stuff, it's a yummy treat.

Take a handful of peanuts... chew them up... and spit them on the bread.

No way around the 190 cal in 2 tb. Nuts are good for you, so anything to make it lie cal prob isn't good for you. I like trader joes natural pb. Try using a tablespoon next time you make a sandwich to see how much you really use, as 2 tb is a lot in a pb&j. Or just use 1 tb when you make a sandwich

i use natural peanut butter and enjoy every bite of my 200 calories its great on days when im a bit low on cals but not very hungry. i dont usually use a full serving on my sandwiches though...maybe im weird but its just too much for one sammich lol

Any peanut butter worth eating is going to be high in calories because of the oil in the nuts. I prefer the natural peanut butter (lots of brands have it now) because it has less added sugar.


Advice is worth exactly what you pay for it.

Bell Plantation - PB2

Powdered peanut butter you re-concentrate yourself each serving.

They press out the oil.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I just picked up some PB2 at the health foods store and am excited for it to work out....45 calories in 2 tbls versus the 190 in regular peanut butter? No contest!!
