So what do you guys put nut butter on?

I absolutely love nut butter - natural peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc. I just bought a super yummy fresh ground cashew butter from the grocery store and I got it home ready for a snack and I had a duh moment. I would usually put nut butter on toast or a banana, but neither of those are things I want to eat on my LC diet anymore.
I had a spoonful and called it a day - but any suggestions?

Sometimes I use it to dip my porkrinds on or put it in my protein smoothies0

Nut butter goes well on celery if you want crunch.2

Celery. Carrots. Smoothies. A spoon.1

I eat peanut butter off the spoon. I do like it slid across dill pickles (doesn't stick well). I'm not alone with PB and dill pickles. I've met many who like the combo.
I've never tried the other nut butters. I know I'd love them too much.

I just eat mine on a spoon.
I use cucumber slices for dips, that might work well for nut butters too. They don't have a strong flavor but they work well as a crunchy delivery method.1 -
DILL PICKLES! I dry them on a paper towel first...either hamburger chips or spears, it's all good.2

Thanks for the tips guys - duh, how did I forget about celery? Ants on a log were my fav as a kid!
I've been doing this for close to a month now and I've realized I don't really miss carbs on their own, but sometimes I do as like a convenient delivery for food that I do crave. Last night when I couldn't figure out how to eat my cashew butter was a prime example. I didn't care whether I had bread or not, just wanted something crunchy to spread it on. I had a similar experience when my boyfriend had mac and cheese with bacon over the weekend and I had a bite (previously a favorite food of mine) and I was like, "oh, I like the cheese and bacon here, not the noodles".0 -
I put mine on a square of 90% dark chocolate. I also sometimes make this low carb pumpkin bread which is great with a mix of cashew butter and cream cheese.7

Count me in this camp! Getting pb to stick on them is an adventure in and of itself! lol1 -
Pork rinds and celery, yum. Don't forget to try macadamia nut butter, pure joy!

I like almond butter on almond buns from the cavemanketo.com site. Also I like jicama for nut butters or salsas.0

A spoon, my fingers, pretty much anything that will convey it from the jar to my pie hole (this is also the reason that we no longer keep nut butters in the house, except for special occasions).1

You can skip the honey all together. I usually use a tiny bit of Truvia Nectar which has a couple of carbs but not much for the whole recipe. I cut the loaf into 10 slices and that makes 4.1 carbs per slice with 1.3 fiber according to the recipe builder!1 -
Nut butter spread on bacon is good too, bacon must be crisp, but not too 'snappish' if ykwim or you will end up with messy crumbles.0

Thanks! I'm ok with a bit of honey. I don't do artificial sweeteners, they bother my stomach and I dislike the taste. I'd much rather get used to things that are lightly sweet0 -
Celery is a good choice. I've also drizzled it on some low carb ice cream. But my fav way to eat it is right out of the spoon!!!0

love it on a spoon w/ a quick squirt of redi-whip & a sprinkle of cinnamon.
