peanut butter

OK I am about to be 4 weeks out so I am at the point I can add more foods like meats and peanut butter. I am just wondering what to eat the peanut butter with. I know that carbs are to be avoided but I don't know how else to eat it. Please provide any ideas you have. Thanks

I just ate it with a spoon- but I gotta tell you- it didn't work for me-maybe next week I'll try again. Also I tried at 1 1/2 weeks out!

try with a little banana ??

by itself on banana on a wheat tortilla? on a piece of cheese on a slice of apple (with skin removed)... if you can have skinless apple, that is. put a few spoons of peanut butter in your blender, then vanilla (or chocolate) protein powder and milk (or water if you can't handle milk) for a thicker shake, a little higher protein (due to the PB) and if you use the choc protein powder, it'll taste a bit like a reese's

Hi Tara.  Since we're not allowed carbs or fruit at this point I had the same dilemma. At one of the support group meetings someone mentioned that she would put some in a bowl of chocolate pudding and it would be like a peanut butter cup.  I tried that the other night.  Tasted great, put the pouch was not impressed.  Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods. I'm hoping that I don't have this problem all of the time. I've heard some people mix it with protein shakes.   I think I copied the following recipe from one of Jamie's posts: Peanut Butter-Chocolate Ricotta Crème Two servings. 1 cup low fat or part-skim ricotta cheese 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 or 3 packets Splenda 1/2 to 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter 1/2 to 1 tablespoon baking cocoa (or 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate syrup) Mix as desired, put in 2 serving dishes, chill, and serve. If using chocolate syrup, you can pour on top instead of mixing in, if desired. I'd forgotten about this and think I may try this today. Dominique

Right off the spoon.. It's a PB lollipop

Tara, I was thinking the same exact thing!  Unfortunately, I don't have any answers yet Carol D

Yummm. Peanutbutter. Frozen in a little ball with a toothpick.

I vote for right off the spoon!! Be careful with it though at first - it is very dense & can sit like a rock if you eat it too fast!!! Good stuff!! Cece

I got this Saratoga Peanut butter from Price Chopper that is made with just peanuts and that is all and food processed it with some banana right quick and yummy. The peanutbutter is called Monkey boy. They have like 6 flavors and are all natural.
