    Another yummy alternative is sold at Trader Joe's. It's called Better N' Peanut Butter. Its consistency is a little softer/runnier than regular PB, but the reduced calories more than makes up for it, imho.

    Super yummy!

    I also use PB2 in smoothies, but I don't think it makes for a good consistency when you mix with water, so that's why I have Better N'PB on hand.

    My afternoon snack is usually apple slices and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
    But I try to always use "better n peanut butter". Its less calories and fat (and this particular version is also low sodium). And it tastes just the same to me.

    For smoothies/protein shakes, I just bought PB2.

    LOVE it. Eat it when I want it. I have tried lower calorie/natural ones and nope! Just don't sit down and eat it out of the jar.

    I eat smuckers natual PB almost everyday. I weigh it out on a rice cake only 16 grams (1TBS) 100 cals plus 50 cals of caramel rice cake.I have heard of PB2 but haven't seen it anywhwere. I don't know if it has any additives.

    I don't like the texture of whole nuts, so a large portion of my healthy fats come from peanut butter. I probably have a serving a day.

    I eat peanut butter everyday for lunch. I eat Bees Knees peanut butter and a Mama Lupe low carb tortilla every day. As long as you workout and burn more calories than you take in you can eat whatever you want!!!!

    moderation and peanut butter just don't sound right in the same sentence.
    My thoughts exactly.

    If you spread it on something warm you don't use nearly as much. You get all of the peanut butter taste but eliminate tons of calories.

    I love it on english muffins in the morning.

    Love this! I can use 1/2 of a tablespoon on an english muffin or waffle. I get to enjoy the flavor with none of the guilt! :smile:

    I eat peanut butter daily. It is my sweet for the day. I wish I could eat with a spoon, but measure it out. I eat one to two tbs.

    I eat it occaionally. Usually either with oats or as a dip for veggie or apple slices. It is high calorie but very nutritious and filling.

    Buy PB2. It's a powdered peanut butter that you mix with water... it's delicious! They make it in regular and chocolate. 2 tbsp is 45 calories!!!! And it's honestly very tasty!!!! it's basically peanuts without all the oil :)

    Occasionally: When I am starving hungry at night at 2am... LOL I have a tbsp of reduced fat Peter pan crunchy for 100 cals. Then I can fall asleep.

    I too wake up in the middle of the night sometime craving peanut butter. However, I like to dip chocolate fudge pop-tarts in my peanut butter. Then I can go back to sleep :tongue:
