Is it snack time yet?

I hadn't planned on writing another post until this weekend. But like I said yesterday, kids get sick and guess what?..my kid is sick. Instead of the gym I got a trip to the pediatrician's office and a prescription for oral steroids. My poor baby is having a rough day, but at least she's resting now.

This morning I helped host a breakfast for the teachers at my older daughter's pre-school. I don't think I have to tell you how hard it was to stare down those doughnuts, bagels, and homemade monkey bread. By the time I made it out of there my sweet tooth was screaming at me. FEED ME!

After we got home from the little one's doctor visit, I got out my new favorite…PB2 and Fuji apple slices. This stuff seems a little weird at first glance. I mean powdered peanut butter...really? But it so good! You just mix it with a little water and get ready to dig in! I have it in both the regular peanut butter flavor and chocolate peanut butter. Today I had the chocolate, and let me tell you, it is lick-the-bowl good!

So, you are wondering what the powder is, right? PB2 is made from roasted peanuts that are pressed under, I don't know, a zillion pounds of pressure so the oil is released from the peanuts. What is left of the peanut becomes the awesomeness that is PB2. The best part is, for around 120 calories (for a medium apple and a serving of PB2) you can have a snack that tastes totally bad for you, but isn't. And bonus...you're getting 5 grams of protein and only 3 net carbs. It's also tasty in smoothies, mixed in your morning oats, stirred into yogurt, on toast or just about anywhere you want a little peanut butter flavor without the fat and calories of traditional peanut butter.

I couldn't find PB2 at my local store, but a quick browse on Amazon and it was on my doorstep! It is worth it people! Yum!

And, yeah, you'll all have to pardon my paper plate. Don't judge me, people. I can't be the only one who uses these things, right?

 

**UPDATE** 

I'm still in love with this snack but I found a way to do what I though was impossible...make it better. So take your two tbsp serving of PB2 and add a few shakes of cinnamon, then mix with 1 tbsp of water and WOW. It is soooo good!
