PB snacks for J

Jimmy and I are both obsessed with peanut butter [although, I promise you I love it more than he does ;)]. If you are like me, you can eat peanut butter by the spoonfuls. However, many of you, like Jimmy, find this disgusting, so I have created a list of his favorite peanut butter snacks to munch on while I eat if from the jar.

Step One: Choose your peanut butter [or almond butter]
Smuckers All Natural Honey Flavored*
MaraNatha No Stir Almond Butter
Peanut Butter & Co. Cinnamon Raisin swirl

Step Two: Choose your base
Wasa Crackers**
Whole Grain English Muffin
Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin
Whole Wheat Tortilla Wrap

Step Three: Add your toppings
Banana slices
Honey
Raisins
Nutella
Chocolate Chips

If you choose the English muffin, toast it to add a crunch and then spread the peanut butter on top.

If you choose the whole wheat tortilla, spread the peanut butter onto one side. Then place the tortilla, peanut butter side up, in a pan and let it heat up over medium heat for a couple of minutes. Then add the toppings of your choice and wrap it up. I even love this for breakfast!


*My favorite natural peanut butter is smuckers; they do not add extra sugar. If you prefer the No Stir kind of nut butters, than I suggest the MaraNatha Almond Butter. I also like Peanut Butter & Co. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. I can only find it at the Whole Foods in Coral Gables.
** If you have not tried Wasa crackers, I highly recommend it. My favorite is the multi grain type. They are an all natural, no sugar added cracker that is extremely crunchy and great with peanut butter. This is a great alternative to chips or even pita bread for dipping into salsas and dips (such as hummus)
