    I like to dip my apples in it...I also put it in my oats sometimes...it's the only way I'll eat celery other than soup.

    This.

    But I have to be careful sometimes because it is very calorie dense and I can eat my way through a jar of peanut butter in just a few minutes. Usually, I'll weigh the jar first so I can weigh it after I'm done and enter the difference. It is often an empty jar that I'm weighing at the end. As I get towards the end and am struggling to scrape the last bits out of the jar, it finally occurs to me that I just ate nearly all of my day's calories. :(

    Now that's an addiction! ;) I have to stay away from peanut butter most of the time because of this very reason. 2 tbsp leads to 4, 4 leads to 8, then I find myself coming back for another 8. hah.

    1. Spread on a soft taco shell, roll up and eat.
    2. Dip for baby carrots
    3. Mix with vanilla yogurt
    4. Mini pb and jelly sandwiches using Ritz crackers instead of bread
    I could go on and on lol, my user name says it all

    I've never had it with yogurt, that sounds awesome!

    Try mixing about a tablespoon of peanut powder (e.g., PB2, JIF Peanut Powder) into a single serving cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.

    As far as regular peanut butter, many people add it to chili. Smearing it onto a banana is obviously a classic.

    Peanut butter is also the most consistent cure for the hiccups I've seen. Put a spoonful (about 1-1.5 tablespoons) into your mouth all at once, get it just wet enough to swallow, but don't chew it. This has worked 100% of the time for me since I was a kid and I've seen it work for other people dozens of times. Apparently it has something to do resetting your breathing, diaphragm and esophagus as you prepare yourself to swallow the peanut butter.

    That's actually really cool!

    As a dip for apple slices or pretzel sticks.
    In Thai red curry stew.
    When I just gotta have a "fix", on a spoon.

    I am totally obsessed with peanut butter!
    I put it on my pancakes instead of syrup, eat it with my apples and celery, and all sorts of things like that!
    What ways do you incorporate peanut butter into your diet?

    My bedtime snack this time of year is PB, apple, and cheese.

    I also like PB in chocolate yogurt.

    I used to have PB banana smoothies every day for breakfast but alas my veggie smoothie keeps me fuller longer for less calories.

    Here's a savory recipe:

    Spicy Peanut Sesame Noodles

    Source: Joy of Cooking with simplifications
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients:

    • 1 C peanut butter

    • 1/4 C rice vinegar (If using cider vinegar decrease to 2 T. Do not use white or red vinegar.)

    • 2 T soy sauce

    • 1 garlic clove, chopped

    • 1 or more jalapeño or other chili peppers, chopped, seeded for less spicy

    • 1 1/2 T sugar or honey

    • 1 t salt

    • 1/4 C sesame oil

    • 1/2 C freshly brewed black tea

    • 1 pound Chinese egg noodles or spaghetti (I probably decrease this to 8-12 oz)

    • 2 t toasted sesame oil

    • 4 C shredded cooked chicken

    • cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips

    • cilantro

    • peanuts, coarsely chopped

    Directions:

    1. Combine first 9 ingredients (through the black tea) in a food processor and blend thoroughly. The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for a week. Allow to return to room temperature and stir well before using.

    2. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling unsalted water until soft. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool.

    3. Toss the noodles thoroughly with toasted sesame oil.

    4. Place in a serving dish and add chicken, if using. Top with the sauce and stir together gently.

    5. Garnish with cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts.

    Even better on sweet potatoes! Odd I know, but SOOOO good!

    I'm SOOO glad I'm not the only one who does this. I love peanut butter on sweet potatoes. Also:
    On apple slices, toast, or spoons
    Sandwiches (no jelly, that's icky)
    Peanut sauce
    Mixed with oatmeal
    Stuffed into dates
    Occasionally in smoothies

    I use natural peanut butter with the oil poured off the top.

    PB and bacon is a glorious combination, so I bet I'd like it on a burger, too. Can't wait to try!

    I can easily eat the whole jar, so I keep jars out of the house. I have a bunch of packets of the Justin's Vanilla Almond butter and eat one when I have a hankering. Still almost 300 calories.
