tell me about peanut butter



Recommended Posts

I actually ordered PB2 and received it in the mail today and immediately tried it...definitely highly recommended...it's just like an all natural Peanut Butter except not nearly as much fat and calories!! It's awesome to get your pb fix..next I'm gonna try chocolate pb2 since it tastes like reeses!! Omg like obviously why wouldn't I lol...but i bought mine on Amazon for like $8

Natural Peanut Butter with nothing added is 200 calories for 2 tbls. It has Protein but I would not consider it a lot. I was eating it but decided I was not willing to use those calories. I mix a lot of different raw and sprouted nuts and mix in my yogurt or have for a snack but not every day. I saw somewhere. That sunflower seed butter is healthiest. When I want peanut butter I mix PB2 with a little almond milk, sweetener or little honey, and dash of salt.

I make a spicy peanut sauce that is delicious. 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter light sodium soy sauce and sirracha sauce to taste put it in micro for 45 seconds and its a great sauce r chicken and shrimp. I use it with Shirataki noodles which has no to little calories you can even throw in some veggies

I like PB2 (I buy it at Kroger) for mixing into things or sprinkling on apple slices. For sandwiches, I like Smucker's all-natural Peanut Butter. 2 tbsp on a Kroger whole wheat sandwich slim bun is a 290 cal Breakfast that I can eat in the car.

I like reduced fat crunchy Peanut Butter. I measure and stick to the 2tbsp serving size. I find logging my food and staying very active allows me to enjoy almost anything, including peanut butter, in moderation.

I havent looked into those yet since I don't have a problem with Portion Control, I usually have between 1 teaspoon-1 Tablespoon, I never have it on bread, just on spoon for a snack and it keeps me full for 3-4 hours. :)

Thanks for the advise though!

I like PB2' date=' powdered Peanut Butter. It is less calories and fat, same taste. You can get it online, Amazon, whole foods and some specialty outlets.[/quote']

The Walmart by me carries it by the Peanut Butter about $4.50 a jar. :)

Peanut Butter and a banana are one of my favorite high Protein smoothie recipes, along with 100% whey....(I don't count calories)

Also, chocolate and peanut butter goes great also...

I found Peanut Butter in the beginning was GREAT in helping taking the edge of my hunger. I teaspoon did the trick for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
