    Look up PB2. Stuff is amazing. 45 calories per 2 tbsp serving, 40% protein.
    Um no. The healthiest part of peanut butter is the fat. PB2 removes the healthiest part of the peanut to make it low calorie. It's a waste of money.

    With a spoon! OMG I love the stuff. I find as well when I'm having one of those empty days when hunger is present regardless of food consumption, a good dose of fat and protein together is always just what I need.

    A spoon or two sorts me out every time :D

    I love to mix a spoon or two of it into granola cereal and top the whole thing off with a handful of frozen grapes. So good!

    Second best - on a spoon :)

    A great wee recipe you might like to try for those indulgent moments when a slightly healthier cookie is called for:

    Peanut butter and Chickpea choc chip cookies

    1 x 400g tin of chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry
    2 tsp vanilla essence
    165g peanut butter
    80g agave syrup
    1 tsp baking powder
    Pinch salt
    90g chocolate chips

    Method

    Blend all the ingredients (apart from the choc chips) in a food processor until a smooth and thick paste. Pulse the choc chips a couple of times.

    Tip the thick paste into a bowl and make sure the choc chips are dispersed.

    The mixture is very sticky, so wet your hands to handle it.

    Roll the mixture into 14 small balls. Place on baking parchment on a baking tray. Press the ball a little bit with the back of a wet spoon, to flatten the top slightly (they should still be quite thick though)

    Bake at 175°C for 10 mins. Leave to cook for a few minutes before trying to handle.

    Totally delicious!

    I use the Sara Lee light wheat bread and have two pieces in the morning toasted of course with 1.5 TBL of reduced fat PB. I've been known to eat it with an apple, or just a good old fashion PB&J sandwich at lunch!

    I spread it on an English muffin with sugar free jam. I also dip my apples in it. I do not eat more than 2 tablespoons at a time. I love peanut butter and have it frequently.

    A good snack I found is to get those 100 calorie Oreo snack packs. And make little peanut butter and light whip cream sandwiches with it. Ten of the little sandwiches are like 190 calories. They are filling and really good.

    Another way I like to use it is in refrigerator oatmeal (see a variety of recipes at www.theyummylife.com).

    I got some of that this weekend. Have no clue how to use it. Any ideas other than smoothies would be great!!!! Please message me if you have time, I dont check the boards often.

    yesterday I mixed it in some plain greek yogurt with some cinnamon and it was THE MOST delicious thing I had ever eaten. My fiance and I go through pb like it is going out of style. We eat it so much. Put it on celery. Mix it in smoothies. On toast. Apple slices. Melt it in the microwave for like 15 seconds and pour it on deserts (ice cream, coool whip, strawberries cut up, apples cut up). Take a spoon, and eat it! So good.
