High protein low-fat peanut butter?

Hi all,

I have a hard time getting enough daily protein, and I'm a picky eater so some days it feels even harder. I will generally eat peanut butter as part of breakfast and I'm wondering if there's a version out there with higher protein levels but somewhat low-fat. I know nut butters have good fats but it still eats way into my daily fat goals! Any ideas or suggestions?

I've tried a couple but am currently eating Jif Natural Creamy with 7g protein and 16g fat per serving.

Thanks!

    Protein shakes and canned tuna are the only way I ever get enough protein. I'm not sure how it would taste (I'm an unadulterated Skippy girl) but you could try mixing a little unflavored protein powder into regular peanut butter.

    There is de-fatted powdered peanut butter but I hate it.

    @piexcore Thanks for the suggestions! I'd be willing to try pb + protein powder. Didn't even know there was fat-free peanut butter but that does sound horrible :o

    Ah yes, PB2. It's not bad actually!

    I don't mind PB2 either. It does the trick in a pinch--just don't expect it to be exactly like peanut butter.

    2 Eggs always help me meet my protein macros and keep me so full.

    @suzfoley Thanks! I'm a sweet breakfast kind of gal myself, love a good jam on top of peanut butter. That's why I'm trying to protein up my pb! Since starting this thread, I've been putting a little chocolate protein powder into my peanut butter and it's been really doing the job. Plus tastes yummy!
