So, hey all!

I'm currently trying to increase muscle mass by eating in my carlorie surplus, alongside a training program too, obviously! Anyway, I'm such a lover of peanut butter. One snack I have which I eat every other day as a sweet treat is peanut butter, banana, and runny honey.. so so so nice! But I'm getting a bit bored of it and was wondering if any of you guys have any snack ideas with peanut butter; preferably low starchy carbs as an option like bread, but maybe some fruit you'd dip into it?

Many thanks :)

    Peanut butter + green apple (Granny Smith) or orange.

    Peanut butter, banana, milk, cocoa - smoothie.

    Peanut butter, sesame seeds, honey.

    Also look into other nuts and seeds, there are so many delicious, and the more variety the better for you.

    While we are talking about PB... I was wondering if there really are more health benefits to switching to almond butter? I love them both, but was curious about the nutritional side of this?

    If you warm it up, it becomes runny like a sauce. You can dip apple or whatever into it. Probably would be good drizzled over rice too.

    Eat both. The health benefit is in the variety, because of different nutritional profiles.

    My kids and I love to eat peanut butter with a slice up apple. I frequently have that for breakfast.

    PB and cottage cheese is delicious with chopped apples and cinnamon and some maple syrup. Tastes like a cheesecake.

    I cut up apples (honeycrisp) and saute them in a frying pan with 1/3 tsp butter, then when warm and soft I add them to peanut butter, and cut up banana. Top it with cinnamon and you are in for a delicious treat.

    I also add PB2 (made with extra water so it drizzles) to a combo of Halo Top chocolate and mint chip. Pretty darn good.

    People think I'm weird for this, but I love peanut butter in my blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry protein shake. I also love it in my Oatmeal with Cinnamon on top.
