Any "light" peanut butter to-go options?

I use Justin's peanut butter packets frequently as a snack, but am looking for a lower calorie option. I have PB2 at home, but I am thinking of something more "grab and go" to eat in the car or at work for a quick snack without needing to mix anything up- any ideas? Thanks so much!

    Whipped peanut butter. It’s hard to find around here.

    Laughing cow light soft cheese wedges.

    PB2 is a great low option. Most 'light' ones are full of salt or sugar. I use kraft natural crunchie. Its literally just crushed peanuts

    Mix it in a small container before you go

    Seconded! Pb2 is awesome, I love the chocolate one. Small little screw-lid tupperware containers are easy to find, they're used for transporting sauces and salad dressings. Would work great for mixed Pb2.

    What do you do....squirt it or spoon it in your mouth! You could make a bunch of pb2 and spoon into small ziplocs for a grab and go. Snip the corner and go at it!

    They also have companies who produce smaller portions of nut butter packets...100 calorie packets.

    Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen that. I know Jif makes single serve portions, but they are 250C (vs 190C for Justin's). Do you have a particular brand you've seen with 100C packets?

    I mix Quest peanut butter powder into Greek yogurt and pack in a small Tupperware with my lunch.

    I agree about the whipped peanut butter if you can find them- I also enjoy PBII as well-
