Peanut butter and....???

Ok, so I love peanut butter...A LOT. I'm just having trouble figuring out healthy options to pair it with. I can't do bread because my tummy doesn't like bread and is mean to me when I eat it lol. There's probably some completely obvious things to put peanut butter on but I'm having a complete brain fart so please, help me!!!

Rice cakes? A spoon? It's good in some some cooking sauces for stir fry.

I put peanut butter in my porridge along with sultanas and wheat bran and sometimes pumpkin seeds.

I love peanut butter and apples.. Also if you need to save some cals I use PB2 and apples.

Forgot about that, I use peanut butter to thicken things like curry and soups or liquidize peanut butter with veg and (insert legume/bean) soup

If you are allowed bread, I like peanut butter with Marmite (not vegemite) and if you are from outside the UK or Australia/ New Zealand, I don't know what your yeast extract equivalent is.

And Marmite I also use to flavour soups and curry and stews.

Oatmeal/hot cereal

One of my favorite meals when I ate bread was to grill a pita pocket stuffed with PB, Bananas, and fruit preserves...dear god

You should look into PB2. It's a powdered peanut butter that only has about 60 cal a serving (I think). It's not really the same when you prepare it like PB but I found a lot of other things you can do with it. Just sprinkle it on bananas as is for a really yummy snack. It also blends into oatmeal & shakes really well and even some asian dishes.

It's worth trying if you haven't already!

i love peanut butter too i get low fat whole wheat graham crackers and sandwich halfs together however you can spike your calories really fast doing that because of the calories a typical caloric count for 2tbsp of pb is 190cals but have you ever tried almond butter they have it at sams for about $5.00 for a 42 or 64 oz jar its pretty tasty and has fewer calories than pb.

in a homemade banana protein smoothie! Yum!

Peanut butter and celery and peanut butter and APPLES are my favorites.

Also, almond butter is great, as it is lower calorie and tastes absolutely fabulous.

I love it on a sandwich with honey!!!

But otherwise it's awesome with bananas and apples, and in smoothies (with bananas)! As many have replied so far!

Maybe try gluten-free bread as an alternative if your stomach is sensitive??

In a bowl mix 3 tablespoons of natural pb, 1/2 cup of dry oats, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Drink milk with it.

PB and apples

Avoid baby carrots. They have 30% less beta carotene than a real carrot. "You may remember that one of the pre-washed and pre-cut foods which experienced a food recall was baby carrots. The same type of recall happened with pre-washed spinach."

Choose straight from the farm, not heavily processed and sold in a bag, carrots.

try natural peanut butter with baby carrots. Really. I love 'em!

Apples! Also you should try pistachio butter and macadamia butter if you could find it, sooooooo good!

makenziewhicker

Try all natural almond butter! A much healthier fat and I just eat spoonfuls of it!

& with celery

Oh also forgot! Not sure exactly how extremely healthy this is but my personal fav: dried sweet cranberries mixed in peanut butter and I put it on a cracker. So good!

popcorn (trust me, it's awesome - just melt the PB a bit in the microwave and dip the popcorn in it), pretzels.

mmmmm sounds awesome- I might try that tonight

EVERYTHING. Also, almond butter is delicious too! Especially with honey. It's a winning combination!

My all time favorite is peanut butter and banana's. Also love it with celery and carrots. When I was younger a spoonful of peanut butter was a treat.
