If you’ve
never tried “powdered” peanut butter,” and you’d truly love to have peanut
butter but you can’t afford the calories and/or fat and/or sugar and/or
anything else in it that you do not need—you should get thee as fast as
possible to your nearest grocery store and pick up a jar of PB2!
I learned
about this at a Weight Watchers’ (aka WWs) meeting many months ago. I bought
myself the regular kind—i.e. not the chocolate flavor. Then I let it sit in my
cabinet. Until it expired.
Last
Thursday—at my morning WWs meeting—a dear, DEAR friend of mine (We’ve known each
other for over 35 years and I can tell you I'm not exactly sure where the weight is that she wants to lose.) was joining and ended up talking about PB2—this chocolate
flavor specifically.
I bought
a small jar the other day at Walmart. (In our Texas
Two
nights ago I needed something that wasn’t a lot of points. But something sweet.
And a bit salty. I put two tablespoons of this PB2 in a bowl and mixed it with
one tablespoon of water. (Something told me I might like one little
package of Truvia, too. I have such a sweet tooth.) Stirred and stirred and
then dipped 9 Rold Gold tiny pretzel twists into it!
It. Was. DIVINE. I
am serious. D.I.V.I.N.E.
(If you try it and I’m wrong? I
can’t imagine I’ll be wrong. But let me know. Because this is going to be my
new snack obsession and it could get totally out of control! YIKES.)
This
“snack” was 2 points for me. That’s a good number for a WWs “snack.” If I’d had a
few more points left for my day? I’d have mixed 4 tablespoons of PB2 with 2
tablespoons of water—one packet of Truvia (I’d have tried just one—might have
needed two and, trust me, I have no
shame--if it needed two—two would be put in without a blink of my eyes.)—and
I’d have had 18 pretzels! Yes. Yes, I would have. Alas, I didn’t have 4 points
left. Sigh.
We are
hot in Texas
Hey—BE COOL. BE VERY COOL. Okay?
