So, Peanut butter--Protein? Good for you or should we be avoiding? Since the surgery I crave it all the time and have to have it with all my meals. I have a feeling I should be avoiding Peanut Butter but need to be sure. I have convinced myself that it is protein so it is good for me. Please set me straight if I'm wrong!!

Thanks

You should try PB2. It's a powder in the peanut butter section and I think you'll like it.

I agree. Use PB2. It's really good and 80% less fat per serving. I add a little Toriani sugar free chocolate syrup sometimes to change up the flavor.

Wow, I never heard of this! THanks. Is this something that any store would carry or some place like Whole Foods? I'll definitely give it a try.

My nutrionist actually reccomended that I eat peanut butter for the protein.

She said it has healthy fats in moderation.

It's pretty much everywhere. Walmart even carries it.

Yes peanut butter is good for you I love it to the powder peanut is great and my favorite is

I found PB2 at GNC

What about almond butter ?? Is that a good source of protein? Is it good for us?

Yeah I think the best thing is natural peanut butter besides the fat is "good" fat isn't it ? I don't think I would personally switch to pb2 because it has less fat, if one things less then it must be added with bunch if other crap.

NUT BUTTERS: I read in the BIG BOOK of Gastric Bypass that nut butters - with a piece of whole wheat bread of one sort or another make a perfect Protein. I buy almond butter at the health food store where they grind it in a machine with nothing added. A tablespoon of nut butter with no additives is 95 calories. I have that on half a piece of whole wheat toast a couple of times a week. It is a meal I really look forward to. You can also just eat it from a spoon. The section on protein in the book is really excellent.

PB2 is powdered peanuts -- nothing added.

Have you tried the PB2 chocolate? Tastes like Reece cup!

Usually at all grocery stores with the peanut butter but LOOK UP!

Almost always on top shelf. Out of sight.

I couldn't find PB2 in my town, but ordered in from Amazon (I got free shipping).
