Powered Peanut Butter
Ok, it's not like eating a huge spoonful of Skippy right off of the spoon, but it is a suitable substitute. It comes powered and you reconstitute it with water. 2 Tbsp peanut butter and 1 Tbsp of water is a good consistency for eating (1 pt).
I do skippy reduced fat pb, but it is probably not a lot healthier than the real stuff. Honestly, how is this powdered option? I like pb for the protein.
I use the reduced fat Skippy for my son, but for 2 Tbsp it has 180 cal, 12 g fat and 2 g fiber or 4 points for the same equivalent. The powered PB is not as creamy (but remember the creaminess in PB is FAT). It has a great peanut taste and protein. Even 2 Tbsp keeps me filled up. Give it a try!
the reduced fat Skippy has loads of sugar. I didn't pay attention to that for awhile and wondered how I suddenly LOVED PB when I usually do not. It's because it has enough sugar to make it more like PB frosting. I used the store locator for PB2 and the health food store a mile from me is listed, so I hope to get some today!
This is my philosophy, you may agree, or not, but it is what it is. For my weight loss journey this works. I do not try to eat the "same" foods I used to eat, I mostly change what I eat, and learn to like it. On the Weight Watchers program, they say you can eat anything...True, but if I'm trying to lose weight I'm not going to eat that stuff. For the most part, my diet will be changed from what I "used to eat". Obviously what I used to eat got me where I am now, so why befriend it now...
wow, you learn something new everyday! I seriously had no idea that they even made powdered peanutbutter.
