Am I alone when I say I feel more hungry after I eat an apple... I like them but tend not to snack on them because of it. :ohwell:

    Drink lots of water with them and add pb! Also try eatin two of them instead of just one. If I only eat one without pb I'll still be hungry.

    I have never even thought about peanut butter with apples. I'll give it a try!

    Apples are the one thing I can eat that leaves my tummy unsettled. Not exactly upset, but almost a hungry like funky feeling. I've learned to not eat them plain anymore, but add a little peanut butter and they're perfect :)

    Oooooh...warm with cinnamon. That sounds oh-so-yummy!

    So what kind of apples go best with peanut butter? I'm seeing a lot of votes for Granny Smith. Can you believe I've never tried one...

    I usually take 2 with me in the morning to work. Honey Crisp or Fuji.

    I love my apples with nut butter. I like crisper apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, and Pink Lady. My favorite nut butter would be raw cashew with the Target store-brand Archer Farms Almond, Cashew, Peanut Butter being a very close second.

    It's because of the high sugar content of the apples we have today.
    The old saying goes "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".
    Dr. James Carlson says "An apple a day and the doctor you will pay".
    Watch Dr. Carlson on YouTube.
    The apples we have today have been modified to contain more sugar.
    Cut back on high glycemic fruits like apples.

    I often eat lemons, but ill also take apples. Try putting lemon juice on them. just a little. It makes me feel fuller when I do.

    My favorite breakfast or post workout snack is: 100 calorie arnold multigrain thin bread, 1 T almond butter, thin sliced granny smith apples on top, a dusting of cinnamon then under the broiler for 10-15 seconds to lightly cook the apples and warm the almond butter. Heavenly! :flowerforyou:

    I've been eating Fuji lately and there was another red apple I was eating a lot of about a year ago (can't remember the name, sorry). I definitely agree with the pb suggestion though. Sometimes I add cinnamon to the pb on my apples.

    ziggle_7: nutella addition sounds great, I can't believe I haven't tried it yet!
