So I had an upset tummy yesterday and wasn't feeling well. I ate my go to sick food which happens to be peanut butter on saltine crackers. Well after a while I realized how much I had eaten and just how many calories I wasted!! Peanut butter is one of my guilty pleasures from time to time but it always ruins my day of hard work. Is there a better way to handle a peanut butter addiction?

    Chocolate PB2. It doesnt have a very strong chocolate taste, but I think it tastes better than the reg pb2

    Mix it into things or have it with other stuff so you can have the taste on a larger amount of food.

    I love it too. I put a tbsp of PB or nutella on a waffle in the morning to get my PB or choc fix. It's awesome and doesn't ruin cals. Sometimes I even do half PB and half nutella, it's like candy!!

    PB2! Seems to be the consensus.

    I use PB2 on a regular basis and I really like it. They have a flavor with chocolate added to it, I love that one. The taste isn't identical to regular peanut butter because they removed the oil, but it's close enough for peanut butter addicts like me to use as a substitute and save the real stuff for special occasions.

    whats wrong with peanut butter... Good source of Protien and Healthy fat.. Whats not to love?

    If I'm low on calories, I so totally melt two tablespoons and chocolate chips and eat it just as it is.. or dip some apples in it.. Oh so yummy!

    I eat the real peanut butter to get the healthy fat. Whole foods has a machine you make your own. Only ingredient is peanuts and salt or if you like just peanuts.

    As long as you stay under your goals for the day I think it is a very healthy natural snack

    Agreed!! I go for the real peanut butter. : )
    There are even recipes to make your own using a blender.

    I love crunchy peanut butter and I can't keep it in the house but I do enjoy peanut butter once in a while. I now mix PB2 Chocolate and fat free cream cheese together for a yummy creamy spread.
