    yeah. I forgot about that.
    It's like eating a cross between pb cheesecake and pb frosting. I add a couple drops of sweetener and a couple tbsp almond milk. Nom.

    I'm trying this recipe this week - fingers crossed. Personally I love peanut butter in stir fry or thai inspired recipes.

    Make up so low carb soul bread for yourself and then top with PB and low-carb jam. Have it as an open-faced PB&J or if there's room for lots of protein iin your macros, have an actual sandwich with 2 slices of LC Soul Bread!

    @ladipoet I'm going to need a recipe for the LC soul bread. I've been trying to find paleo bread for awhile. I live in a rural area and it doesn't exist here, but if I can make my own low-carb protein bread, that works too (as long as I can find the ingredients, meaning they can't be unusual items or not temperature sensitive so I can bring them home from the nearest place that has it 90 min. away).

    Sorry OP and thanks for providing the link @Phrick!! It's easy to find by just googling "low carb soul bread." I've made 3 versions of it so far: the Toasted Onion & cheddar, the Lemon blueberry, and the Cinnamon Pecan. All have been very good!

    Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars. I really want to try these soon but the article is poorly written IMO.

    I always crack up when I see the typical diabetes "pair your carbs with a protein" example of peanut butter and apples, because you're right, it's not a "protein," it's very much a fat!

    That said, here's the smoothie I used to do (most amounts are approximate):

    1c milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk is good if dairy milk is too sugary)
    1/4c heavy cream
    1-2 squares dark chocolate or 1tbsp cocoa powder + a pinch of sweetener of choice (to cut the bitter) or 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I'm partial to Jay Robb's whey protein, but any that actually tastes good will work here)
    2tbsp peanut butter
    handful of ice cubes (more if you want to make it milk shake-y, less if you just want it cold; it's creamy as all get out either way)

    Comes out to around 10g carbs, with 2-3 of that from fiber (the rest comes primarily from the sugars in the cream, milk, and peanut butter), 25-30g or so of fat (iirc), and 10-30g protein (depending on whether you use protein powder).

    Oh, and the peanut butter + cream cheese combination is downright evil. Just sayin'.

    Heavy cream, peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and stevia. It whips up into a delicious mousse.

    Personally, peanut butter is my go-to snack, on a spoon. It's also my kryptonite. I have had to step away from the peanut butter to break stalls before, but I keep going back. It's hard to quit, because my kids eat PB sandwiches a lot, so it's always in the pantry. Grrr.
