I have always loved Apples, cut in slices and slathered in peanut butter.
For my fast days, I make a great low calorie version of this.
I use a really great product called PB2, here is the description of it, from their website:
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
PB2 is made with premium quality peanuts that are slow-roasted to our specifications and pressed to remove the fat. All natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Same consistency as full-fat peanut butter with all of the roasted peanut flavor, but with more than 85% less fat calories.
It is 45 calories for 2 TBLS, and when you mix it up with a bit of water, becomes the same consistency of regular peanut butter, but 45 calories vs 190 calories for regular peanut butter.
I cut my apple into slices, and dip each slice into the tasty peanut butter dip. I use a bit more water, than I would use to make peanut butter as for a sandwich, which creates more of the dip and is plenty to be used for all my apple slices.
This whole snack is about 115-120 calories depending on the size of the apple. But its very tasty, takes a while to eat, is great to snack on while watching tv, or reading, or just eating.
Enjoy!
