Something besides peanut butter, please ...

I use Almond Butter on 35 calorie wheat bread. The Almond Butter is really good.

I second this! Almond Butter is really good! A great alternative.

mmmmmm almond butter

If you're looking for something to add protein (which I assume is why you have been choosing peanut butter instead something with few calories but less nutritional value), I would suggest an egg. You can fry the egg in pam, add a little fat free miracle whip and have a nice egg sandwich.

Or - what I usually do is Kashi Go Lean cereal. It's got 13 g of protein (more protein than 2 eggs) and 10 g fiber. Add 1% milk and you've got a bit more protein! It's not a sugary cereal, but it really is good if you want to try something different.

I have the same exact thing for breakfast and I actually measured out my PB. Have you ever done that? Because a serving is usually 2 tbsp and honestly, that is a LOT of PB. I can get away with one TBSP and its about 185 for my muffin ( I use the 90 cal sara lee ones) and 1 tbsp of peanut butter.

I agree. If I'm low on protien for the day, I will often get a teaspoon from the drawer and get a spoon of peanut butter, which ends up being about 1 TBSP. HTH.

THIS!

nut butters! I eat almond butter almost every morning. You should try other breakfast ideas as well like greek yogurt and rolled oats. I added a tablespoon of almond butter and a banana to a oats this morning. It usually keeps me full and energized until lunch time. Protein tends to keep me feeling full much longer anyways, maybe try an egg with your muffin?

I always make things on an English Muffin for my other half in the morning.
Some of the favorites are:
Smart Balance Butter + Strawberry jam/sliced strawberries + thinly sliced 1/3 banana
Smart Balance Butter + Slice of provolone cheese + Pear jam (or grape jam, or apricot jam would work)
Provolone cheese + scrambled egg
and my personal favorite is...
1 tbs sunflower butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I use 1/2 serving of natural Jiff creamy on my raisin bread. I use Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss Lite on my thin bagels. Or I'll eat a bowl of Product 19 with skim milk. That's generally my breakfast menu.

Almond Butter--1 T is 90 calories. I am completely addicted to it!

Laughing Cow Lights are DELICIOUS. They have a variety of flavor with only 35 calories per wedge

second this, they are awesome.

I bug them every month or so about making a ranch flavored light wedge! I LOVE LAUGHING COW!!!

Also you can make an excellent apple dip by mixing 1 tsp of brown sugar with 1 wedge of the light original and a drop of vanilla. :happy:

If you love peanut butter, you can try PB2. It's powdered peanut butter; you just add water, and it's less calories. My mom and my sister say it tastes just the same; I haven't tried it yet.
