JessLess 1,163 Posted June 3, 2020 For some reason I have been craving Peanut Butter and I'm looking for lower calorie alternatives. So far I have found Peanut Butter Built Bars (protein/candy bars) at 170 calories and Julian Bakery ProGranola Peanut Butter Cluster at 110 calories for half a cup. Any other suggestions?

catwoman7 11,221 Posted June 3, 2020 I echo the PB2 (or PBFit - or any of those powdered peanut butters). It isn't quite the same when you reconstitute it with Water to make a paste - but it'll do in a pinch. But I usually just mix it in with things - like yogurt or chocolate Protein Shakes - then it's OK! 1 JessLess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lily66 425 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) These are tasty when you just need that Sweet chocolate Peanut Butter fix😋. Cheapest by the case on Amazon...decent shelf life. Handy when stuck away from home and need some Protein. Edited June 3, 2020 by Lily66 2 JessLess and Mokitty87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChubRub 1,709 Posted June 3, 2020 I find that if PB is warm and gooey, it spreads really good and I don't need as much. I like it on a toasted chaffle! It's also good swirled into some greek yogurt! 1 JessLess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
over65 133 Posted June 3, 2020 Bad artificial sweetener, maltitol and maltitol Syrup. Proven to raise blood sugar. Find something with sweetener that doesn't raise blood sugar. Rise in blood sugar releases insulin which then stores unused glucose in fat. Not good for WLS people.

Sent from my SM-T580 using BariatricPal mobile app Yes, they’re not an every day item by any means, meaning a case will last you a year. I have never had high blood sugar issues, for me it’s the reverse—frequent low blood sugar. With the Protein and Fiber in these it helps offset a blood sugar spike. For something to offset low blood sugar, these really are purse handy when away from home. And not such that you’d ever want more than one.😊 1 JessLess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
