Do you love peanut butter? I mean, do you really, really love peanut butter? Is reducing or eliminating peanut butter from your diet to lose weight one of the miseries of your existence?
Well, just when you thought you Could Not Go On, I present to you: PB2. Powdered peanut butter, with most of the fat removed.
Yes, it’s crazy…. crazy GOOD. Mix two tablespoons of this dried stuff with water, and you have enough for a sandwich. But it’s only 53 calories, one Weight Watchers Point! And yes, it does taste like peanut butter. I read, from the ingredient list: Peanuts, Sugar, Salt. I’m not crazy about the sugar, but I’ll put up with it for the peanut buttery wonder this stuff is.
Mix it into chocolate pudding and, voila, you have peanut butter cup pudding! Put it in a blender with a frozen banana and yogurt, and you have a peanut butter banana smoothie!
Now, if it’s mostly the oily mouthfeel you love, this won’t do it for you. And it’s not crunchy; add crunched up peanuts for added calories and points if you absolutly must do crunchy (and I understand many of you absolutely must).
It is available from Bell Plantation, who also offers PB2 with chocolate and, surprise, peanut oil. If you are lucky enough to be near a store that sells it, I am jealous. Otherwise, you’ll just have to do what I do and buy it online.
Lucky for you, they now sell a sample pack. When I first learned about it, I bought a container from another WW member. Now I have an obscene amound in my garage, and I’m not telling you where I live because it is MINE.
Ha.
Ahem.
