@lilswag94 A good place to start looking for high protein, low carb recipes is Bodybuilding.com's Recipe Database (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/healthy-recipe-database.html).

Almond butter and Cashew butter are a good no-sodium alternative to peanut butter. Both are full of monounsaturated fats and protein just like peanut butter.
