Non-Carb vehicle for peanut butter...


Quote  |  Reply
I need to tip my percents to boost my calories toward fats and protein, so I'm thinking what else can I put peanut butter on? 

My only idea that is NOT a carb is a spoon...

Any other better creations?

Apple and peanut butter is awesome!! 
Apple has carbs. Celery has less carbs. 
celery

your finger (don't eat your finger)
Turn it into a thai peanut sauce with some soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar and chili pepper, and eat it with some garbanzo beans or a chicken breast.  That's all I can come up with!
ooh peanut sauce on chicken breast sounds much better than the peanut butter/ tuna smoothie I had in mind LOL

I'm kidding.  I'd never try to make a PB&T smoothie, but it does sound funny...
If you don't like the texture of celery you can put it on rhubarb for a similiar texture...

Oh and rice cakes do have carbs but you can really load them up with peanut butter.
Peanut Butter shake/smoothie...

Pour some milk, peanut butter, ice, and whey protein into a blender and mix it up real good...

You can add other stuff, but you seem to be looking for fats/proteins moreso than carbs... But if you decide you wanna add carbs to your smoothie, Fiber One and Kashi GOLEAN cereal both would make excellent additions... As would Bananas...
I posted this on another thread last week. 

Prawns in Satay sauce (peanut sauce) 

I took half an onion, and garlic and fried them (no oil)

added 1/2 stock cube, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1tsp dried corriander, 2 Tbsp sweet soya sauce, 2 tsp of sambal olek (chilli paste) and stirred around a while

and then added some frozen raw prawns, loads of peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and beans and a little water and left to cook,

then added 2tbsp peanut butter, about 1/2 cup to a cup of water (this will depend on how runny you like it, your peanut butter etc) and stired through until the peanut butter melts and combines well, then i added 3 tsp of lemon juice and stirred.

i figure that the sauce comes out at about 300 calories (guessing those for ketchap manis cause couldn't find it in CC) and is enough for 2 people. (so 150 each) with 100 cal worth of prawns (which is loads, about 100g = 83 cals according to the side of the pack i used) and 100 cal for the veges, that is a lot of peanut enjoyment and a very satisfying meal for about 350 cal.

Of course it is also great with other meats, particularly chicken!

It may sound crazy, but you can spread peanut butter on a raw cabbage leaf and roll it up.  We called it a "walking salad" at camp.  It tastes very similar to peanut butter on celery.

I know this wasn't really your question, but you could also just eat peanuts (or other nuts) to boost your protein & fats. 

Could also do cream cheese on celery, or hummus on cucumbers or carrots (actually hummus is good on all veggies).  Bananas have carbs too, but great with pb.  Black beans mashed up with olive oil, onion, garlic, pepper topped with low fat sour cream and/or cheese.

I'm a bit of a peanut butter fanatic.

This does not sound crazy at all since I make Peanut Butter & Lettuce (iceberg gives it the best crunch) sandwiches. So cut out the bread and I'm sure the crispness of the lettuce is just as fabulous!

My favourite afternoon snack is pb on a banana. yum!

I also make "apple-wiches" - sliced "coins" of apple with pb sticking two together - travels well!

Spoons and fingers are great too!

Here's the crazy one: Pb on slices of cheddar cheese!!! Crackers and cheese work... and PB and crackers work.... so I decided one day to give both a try - and I like it! And now I often skip on the cracker portion since I don't think they're worth the calories. Should help with your fats/proteins too!
