    On a spoon. On banana slices. With a sliced apple and some granola.

    Right now I have skippy natural, but Im going to try smuckers natural next time since i recently looked at the label and sugar is the second ingredient. I live for peanut butter, I have at least a tablespoon a day... Today I had 3. Because I could. :)

    My boyfriend grabs the biggest spoon we have, and piles as much on it as he can.. Usually 5-10Tbps, daily, twice a day sometimes. We go through 2KG of peanut butter every two weeks.. Somehow he's 140 pounds.

    1 tbsp creamy PB on Ezekiel bread with half a smashed banana and cinnamon on top. Yummm!
    Or add 1 tbsp PB, sliced frozen banana and a couple tbsp fat free Greek yogurt (blend it all together) for an after workout "ice cream" treat.

    I like my peanut butter with an apple or a banana. Sometimes I mix it in shakes and oatmeal. I LOVE PB

    On toasted Ezekiel and if I am craving sweets, I'll go ahead and mix it with a bit of maple syrup. I know it sounds strange, but it's something I grew up with (my dad's obssession).

    Try making a model version of Tokyo out of peanut butter, then make like Godzilla and rip that sucker up.

    I eat peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches every day. It is my favorite sandwich, so I make sure it fits in my food for the day.

    My husband said he and his brothers and sisters took PB & MW sandwiches to school every day. I thought he was crazy! Never heard of the combination before.

    If I am really craving a candy bar or something salty/sweet I will put it on a spoon and put a couple chocolate chips in it to satisfy my sweet tooth. Mostly though I eat it plain or on toast.

    I only do 1 tablespoon and I will put it in a shake or on 12 grain bread or in my oats in the morning. If I have a lot of calories left for the day, sometimes I will have 2 tbsp.

    Its great with celery or apple slices. A lot of my buddies put it in their oatmeal. Something I'm going to try myself

    It is really good with oatmeal! Makes it even more filling! I add some peanut butter and a bit of milk and viola! From plain old oatmeal to deeeeelish!

    I love peanut butter but it's tough to enjoy this simple pleasure when 2 tablespoons equate to 190 calories - almost 200! So chowing down on a peanut butter dessert is even worse. Boo hiss! For those of you that keep a strict calorie allotment, and MUST have peanut butter in your diet, how do you manage to squeeze it in unscathed - still leaving enough calories for other foods throughout the rest of the day?

    i have half a table spoon of PB in a coupe of ways. I like it on a celery stick, it's also nice when i spread it on my home made banana bread. Also tastes good on malt loaf, topped with banana. The key is to only use a little but pad it with stuff so it feels like a lot.

    Peanut butter gets a bad rep. I eat it every day and it's part of a meal. Forget about it being 180 calories it's good for you. I use kraft unsweetened/unsalted and put it on toast usually but sometimes after a workout I'll just eat a spoonfull of it to get those exercise calories back and it's loaded with protein and good fats. I'll also spread it on saltine crackers too. IMO, people that scoff at eating peanut butter due to it's high calorie content are misunderstood about it's benefits and should be working it into their meal plans and not as an extra treat! ha ha. YUM!

    I am a HUGE PB freak!

    Recently switched to Cashew Butter instead (store brand). Great choice. More flavor...less bad stuff.
    I use on Flaxseed bread for a sandwich.

    I use PB2 now, which has MUCH lower calories than regular peanut butter. But prior to that I would use 1 tbsp of regular peanut butter to put on toast. If I was having a low calorie day and had room for some serious snack calories, I would take a whole wheat tortilla, put a tablespoon of peanut butter on it, and wrap it around a banana. Yummy! I love peanut butter, and I hated that it had to be such a rare treat because of fat and calories, so I am really digging the PB2.

    I LOVE PB2! It's just really hard to find! I also like to pair just a little bit of natural peanut butter with apple slices. Also, Almond Butter is a good substitute if you can find it (it does taste different though).

    I use PB2 in vanilla protein shakes for breakfast- SO good. I also will spread a tablespoon or so onto a whole grain Wasa cracker and top with sliced banana for lunch. OR onto a Kim's Magic Pop and melt a bit to spread it further. Yum.

    I eat MyProtein Peanut Butter (nothing in it except 100% peanut). 50g over 2 slices of whole grain brown bread (toasted). Delicious, and a great energy start to the day!
