xp Tracking serves me well! More than just for calories! Amusing find for me.
1 - Hemaplex worked GREAT for my iron stores! THANK YOU!!!
2 - The mix - this first mix was the original for the Naturally More
32 g NM
6 g Hershey Dark Cocoa - lighter cocoas need more cocoa for the same fudginess.
1 sweetner packet on days when I had hormonal sweet tooth.
Okay, so to make with other nut buttah
32 g nut buttah
4 g Dark Cocoa
4 g (1 serving) of the egg white powder
4 g wheat germ
*I didnt put the flax in the almond butte, but I might reduce 1 g of the cocoa and wheat germ to allow for it - or just add more drops of water, since flax will "firm up" a situation once it gets hydrated*
To the above mix, I had to add a drop or two of water to get it to hold together.
I stir this up in little GLASS bowls with a spoon that doesnt have a bendy handle :} If you keep smush smush smushing, it ends up soaking up all of the powder, if you stop too soon, it leaves goop on the bowl. There is usually goop on the spoon, but that's what teeth are for!

Make sure you listen to her..a GLASS bowl is a MUST...unless your dishwasher has more magical powers then mine...
Im now on the Brandilynn PB crack wagon...been on it for months now..
And in case she forgot to mention it..you take the glass bowl of PB yumminess and sma**** into a slice of havarti and roll it on up...SO GOOD!

I have nothing fabulous to add really....but I really enjoyed this post.....especially all the talk about your crack concoction. Would it be good without the wheat germ? Maybe I can substitute flax seed. I still can't find if the peanut/nut butters have wheat in them. Can you look at the ingredients and tell me? Stupid wheat allergy....
Also, I know what you mean about having a pain and wondering why, then remembering later that you did some physical job that caused the pain....
Me-Wow...my shoulders are aching.....WTH? Do I have arthritis??
Me, 5 hours later- oh wait....I know why I have sore shoulders. It was because I held up that garbage disposal for 10-15 minutes under the sink while installing it. It was heavy! I don't have arthritis....sheeeesh
