Take Your Apple and Peanut Butter To A Whole New Level

I love PB2! And the UK version PPB.. I have a few recipes using it if you wanted them :) x @nicsnutrition x

Making your own yogurt is super easy and cheap! Scald milk, let cool until you can hold your little finger in the milk comfortably for 10 seconds, then add a tablespoon or 2 of store bought plain yogurt. Put all of this in a pre-warmed Thermos and set that in a room temp., dark place (pantry, cabinet, etc) for 12-16 hours. Using Greek yogurt will make yours a bit thicker, and after the first time you can save a bit of homemade to start the next batch. With each new batch the yogurt gets better.

Flavored yogurts have a candy bar worth of sugar...you do not note the sugar grams in your post? Like the idea of PB2.

Debbie

I have been using the pb2 vanilla yougurt combo a few years myself andit is pretty good! I also combine the pb2 with a little pumpkin or mashed banana for variety

Yum-can't wait to try this since I have a jar of pb2 in my pantry that I haven't tried yet! I just suck up the price of Fage because of the sugar content or lack there of :)

Monica

I eat pb2 with an apple everyday. I also mix pb2 into nf greek yogurt. Since pb2 is 2 tbsp=1pp, apples are zero pp, how do you get 4pp for this snack?

Susan

Have to try- sounds delish...I usually mix pb with sugar free applesauce for a dip - grandsons love it!

Barbara

I absolutely LOVE PB2 in plain Greek yogurt. It's soooo good! I like to top it with a sliced banana and a tbsp or so of dry roasted peanuts.

Tamara

I was also wondering why this snack would be 4pp? 1Tbls. of PB2 is only half a point and I can have an entire 5oz. cup of Chobani non fat plain yogurt for 2 points. The most I could figure would be 3pp.

I find that the chocolate version of PB2 has a richer peanut butter flavor; it is a staple in my cupboard!

@ Debbie -- I respectfully submit that your comment about the sugar in flavored yogurts being equal to a candy bar is completely inaccurate. Part of the sugar count on the package is the "sugar", actually lactose, that naturally occurs in the milk which is the basic ingredient in any yogurt, greek or otherwise.

I had a couple different brands of plain greek yogurt in my fridge and the sugar level varied from a low of 4 grams to a high of 8 grams. I happened to have the vanilla greek yogurt that Lisa referred to in her post and it lists sugar at 18. Being generous to your argument, I subtracted 4 (the naturally occurring sugar) from 18 and got 14. In my experience, most candy bars hover around 25 grams of sugar PER SERVING on average. (I checked on the clearance Valentine's chocolate I had bought to send to my son and his friends at college.) Just going on a per serving basis the amount of added sugar is just a smidgeon over half over the candy bar. Add in the fact that a lot of candy bars are actually 2 or more servings, and your guilt inducing argument doesn't even begin to hold water.

I use the nonfat vanilla yogurt with honey and cinnamon. I serve it with fruit and have had great comments.

I don't buy flavored yogurt because of the added sugar, but I do this with plain Greek yogurt, natural PB, and a bit of honey to sweeten. I actually eat it by itself with a spoon. Tastes like the inside of a PB pie! :)

If you like PB2, instead of buying it in the jar...buy the brick size from Amazon.com...it's a much better value.

Laurie

Snack girl you are on a roll! This is a great idea. This way we get protein, fiber and probiotics. Our tummies and waistlines are going to be so happy! Thanks for this recipe!

I found Pb2 plain and chocolate flavor at my Target. I was so excited to see it there. I always have had to order it on line and I hate having to pay extra for shipping.

Chris

PB2 is at Walmart for $4.78

Laurie

Lack the idea of those interesting and healthy snacks!

Andrew

Whyyyyy have I not heard of this or thought of it?! This sounds like pure genius, and pure yumminess, and I can't wait to try it! For those worried about sugar in the yogurt, you could always buy plain yogurt and add vanilla extract and sweeten it however you like (or not).

Shari

Is it possible to make tahini sauce with this low cal peanut butter?

Dyan Herman

I was a bit skeptical about this, but I mixed some up this morning (1/4 cup of vanilla greek yogurt and 1 tsp of PB2) and it's completely delicious. I packed it as dessert with lunch today and I can hardly wait!
