Peanut butter obsession

Okay...let's be honest. Any one else ever eat peanut butter like it's ice cream? Well, I have. I love peanut butter! BUT, eating a jar of peanut butter everyday will pack on the pounds faster than you can take the creamy (or chunky) stuff down.

There is a delicious solution: powdered peanut butter! Before you judge, try it. In 2 tablespoons (mixed with 1 tbsp water) it has between 40-50 calories as compared to 200 calories in normal peanut butter! AND you can get it in chocolate! You can find this awesome stuff in the health food section of most grocery stores.

Eat it with a spoon, frost a cupcake with it, or make a 100 calorie snack by putting it on a rice cake (I recommend the caramel kind as a super tarty treat).

Enjoy!

Need a little running/walking motivation?

I don’t know what I would do without my Nike Running App…it tells me how fast I’m going, how far I’ve gone, calculates my calories burned and even gives me a little verbal high five at the end of my run from awesome athletes. Plus, it’s FREE! So I definitely recommend it for anyone who runs or walks for exercise. If you are like me, I tend to overestimate how far a mile, or half a mile or quarter of a mile is, so this app tells me exactly so I am not cheating myself. It also serves to speed me up when I’m dragging and slow me down when I’m a bit over ambitious. Check it out…it’s a great one!
