I just add a tablespoon of peanut butter to my chocolate shakes too.

I use the Bell Plantation with my Pure Protein Vanilla Creme Powder, I add the entire packet most days (only 890 calories and 10 gms of protein, so half of a serving of real peanut butter and more protein) plus, 1/3 cup 100% Liquid Egg Whites. I mix mine with 6ozs of water and a cup of ice. To mix it up sometime, I use half a banana and only half packet of the PB Powder and 1 Tablespoon of real Peanut Butter. The only reason I use the Bell Plantation is because of fat content of real peanut butter. I like my protein shake to be between 25 and 40 gms of protein if they are going to replace a meal, that way they keep me full longer. I also add unflavored Pure Protein (from Bariatriceating.com to my hot or iced Starbucks Skinny Carmel Machhiato) I try to mix my drinks up as much as possible so not to get board. But by far the peanut butter in the vanilla or chocolate powder is my favorite. I think you are fine using real peanut butter as long as your under your fats daily.

You should try bell plantation powdered peanut butter, they have chocolate flavored peanut butter kind, you can google search it and probably find it in your area. It cuts down the fat and the calories, I add it to everything, greek yogurt, my shakes, I love it best thing ever made! It's 45 calories a serving. 1.5 grams of fat per 2 TBSP.

congrats to you...nothing like true love, and a great supporter....my hubby is the exact same way

Happy St Patrick's Day to you too!! I'm being banded in 13days. Am still trying to get my head round the protein shakes and other things on my shopping list. Hope you get a better night's sleep tonight x

hang in there. Im not banded yet i still have a whole 60 hours left--haha But I thought I could offer a little help with the coffee breastfast issue.
I absolutely love my keurig coffee maker...my favorite flavor is the butter toffee. I absolutely HATE the protein powers!!! But...I found that if I mix them....I'm good to go.
