I'm craving peanut butter.

The thing is, I don't even LIKE peanut butter!  I might have to dig out my ice cream machine and make some protein ice cream and drizzle a tad bit of PB in it.  

Well the PB would up the protein a little bit ;)

I  Peanut Butter! I have some almost everyday just off a spoon  it goes down smooth and helps me get the protein in.

Really?  I was worried about it being too high in fat & sugar, and about it glopping up and clogging me.  I might have a spoonful, though.  Yeah, peanut butter breath before bed sounds GOOD.  LOL

I've got Smart Balance PB, here are the nutrition facts.
Service size: 2 Tbls
Total fat 17g
Sat fat 3 g
Trans fat 0
Poly fat 0
Mono fat 12
Cholestrol 0
Sodium 110mg
Potassium 190 mg
Total carb 5g
dietary fiber 2g
Sugar 1
Protein 8g

Honestly I don't have a full serviing when I have it off of the spoon.  More like 2 tsps and I lick it off slowly.  I was more worried about the sugars and carbs when looking at peanut butter than fat.

Mmmm, how do you make the protein ice cream? I will definitely want to try that after surgery!

This lady is an OH member, and has a TON of recipes for protein ice creams, I know at least one of them has PB in it.

BTW, the white chocolate PB that somebody here mentioned a while back...I didn't like it before surgery but I just ate a spoonful of it and it's NOM.

In the summer, a PB on whole wheat sandwich is one of my go to breakfasts when I don't want to eat breakfast....LOL.  A spoon of PB is a snack that will stay with me for awhile.

If you are worried about sugar, you can get natural no sugar added, but it's not nearly as tasty as Jif.  For me, the sugar in PB has not been a problem-the fat and protein balance it out.

The PB 2 is tasty too-but it doesn't have the staying power of regular peanut butter-so I use it to flavor things and keep the calories down.  When you are trying to get in nutrition and energy, it does take calories to do that! 

I love Peanut Butter and eat at least 1 TBL almost every day. It has saved me from crashing my car into a krispy Kreme! Which is weird because b4 surgery I never ate peanut butter, but now I crave it. I use the low fat skippy or Jiff and I love it!

I like the Natural Jif, it actually tastes better than the regular stuff. 

Yeah.  Making protien ice cream today.  That will be my treat after running!
