      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.

      How to eat it: pick up the jar. Get a spoon. Shove it in your mouth. Enjoy the mouth orgasm.

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

      Look up PB2. Stuff is amazing. 45 calories per 2 tbsp serving, 40% protein.

      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.

      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.

      Real peanut butter taste without all the oil calories. I get plenty of healthy fats from BETTER sources than peanuts. Aka fish oil, flax seeds, ect. Hard to fit much real peanut butter in while cutting. But I crave the TASTE.

      But thanks for your opinion. Lol

      this. Peanuts are like scum of all nuts. Yummy, but really not that nutrient dense and sorta low in protein for the amount you eat.

      There's just something about powdered peanut butter that seems unnatural and nasty.

      I will put it on a rice cracker with frozen cool whip (tastes like a flutter nutter), on celery, dip apples in it, anything peanut butter/banana is amazing...on toast, on frozen yogurt..yum yum yum

      ALSO...make a satay sauce!! Its amazing over chicken, asian noodles or for dipping. Peanut butter, coconut milk and a thai or curry paste..is AMAZING!

      You're right;
      Technically legumes but generally referred to as nuts, peanuts are high in folate—a mineral essential for brain development that may protect against cognitive decline. (It also makes peanuts a great choice for vegetarians, who can come up short on folate, and pregnant women, who need folate to protect their unborn babies from birth defects, says Caplan.) Like most other nuts, peanuts are also full of brain-boosting healthy fats and vitamin E, as well. One ounce of peanuts (about 28 unshelled nuts) contains about 170 calories, 7 grams protein, and 14 grams fat.
      Health benefits of Peanuts

      Peanuts are rich in energy and contain health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.

      They compose sufficient levels of mono-unsaturated fatty acids especially oleic acid. It helps to lower LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increases HDL or "good cholesterol” level in the blood. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet, which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids help to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile.

      These nuts are a good source of dietary protein compose fine quality amino acids that are essential for growth and development.

      Research studies have shown that peanuts contain high concentrations of poly-phenolic antioxidants, primarily p-coumaric acid. This compound has been thought to reduce the risk of stomach cancer by limiting the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the stomach.

      Peanuts are an excellent source of resveratrol, another polyphenolic antioxidant. Resveratrol has been found to have protective function against cancers, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, Alzheimer's disease, and viral/fungal infections.

      Furthermore, studies suggest that resveratrol reduce stroke risk by altering molecular mechanisms in the blood vessels (reducing susceptibility to vascular damage through decreased activity of angiotensin, a systemic hormone causing blood vessel constriction that would elevate blood pressure), and by increasing production of the vasodilator hormone, nitric oxide.

      Recent research studies suggest that boiling enhances antioxidant concentration in the peanuts. It has been found that boiled peanuts have two and four-fold increase in isoflavone antioxidants biochanin-A and genistein content, respectively. (Journal of agricultural and food chemistry).

      The nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E (a-tocopherol); containing about 8 g per100 g. vitamin E is a powerful lipid soluble antioxidant which helps maintain the integrity of cell membrane of mucus membranes and skin by protecting from harmful oxygen free radicals.

      The nuts are packed with many important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates. 100 g of peanuts provide about 85% of RDI of niacin, which contribute to brain health and blood flow to brain.

      The nuts are rich source of minerals like copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.
