Happy National Peanut Butter Day! Yes this is a real holiday and you best be celebrating. But set down that jar of Skippy. Grab a jar of unsweetened, organic peanut butter please. You'll feel better in the long run, I promise. And yes you can eat it out of the jar, or you can get a little creative. Here are some of my favorite uses:
- Throw PB in your stirfry
- Your oatmeal is so dull. Throw some PB in it!
- Stop! Smoothie Time. Put some nut butter in it!
- DIY Protein Bars... with Peanut Butter
- You know you love kale chips...but you ever had spicy peanut butter kale chips?
- Straight up on an apple or banana. Sometimes simple is best
Oh let me count the ways that i love all forms of nut butter. peanuts, almonds, cashews, bring it on! Which is why, over the weekend i had to splurge on a jar of NUTTZO and indulge in the synergy of cashews, brazil nuts, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and flax seeds!

I saw this at whole foods yesterday and wanted to buy it but the price scared me off a bit. I love all nuts and nut butters so I'm sure I would love this! My recent favorite is a rice cake (or piece of GF toast) smeared with all natural PB and topped with slices of banana and a drizzle of molasses (sometimes I sprinkle cinnamon on top of that). Yum! Happy PB Day!
I love PB! I make a PB banana "grilled cheese" by combining PB & cream cheese (about 50-50) with a little honey. Smear that on Ezekial bread, place a few banana slices on top and make a sandwich. Toast in a skillet until golden on both sides. Yum!
Can never get enough nut butter! My favorite thing to do is to mix it with vanilla coconut milk yogurt until it's super creamy and then dip apples in it. DELISH!
In my oatmeal definitely! Or on apples or celery :)
Sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like some PB, I love cooking savoury things with it. A dip for fresh rolls, a dressing for some Polynesian coleslaw, or as a replacement for tahini in hummus.
I packed a pb & j for lunch today--dumb luck! Though my favorite way to eat it is in oatmeal with some soy sauce and hot sauce!
Yum! I love nut butter combinations. I love to bake mochi with cinnamon and dip it in nut butter! Mmmmmm. Addicting! :)
I seriously love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. However I recently tried a thai peanut soup and I have to say the savory aspect of peanut butter was amazing. That soup was sooo good.

I've never tried multiple nut butters in one! My favorite way to eat peanut butter is in peanut butter oatmeal cookies, which I"m surprised no one else has said. But more regularly I just eat it off the spoon.
LOVE peanut butter in my oatmeal!

Nut butter- in a tortilla with apple slices to go in the morning... yummy breakfast!
On cinnamon toast with banana and honey!
I love peanut and almond butter, so good! Also never tried mixed ones, so that sounds neat :) I just last weekend made an awesome stir fry with peanut butter, soy sauce, chipotle, garlic and ginger for the sauce, all over some sweet potato and broccoli!

I am dying to dry this! I love nut butter [usually almond butter but peanut butter will always have a bigger place in my heart] on Udi's GF bread with a banana on top, or with GF pretzels. thanks, E!
I love Peanut Butter in a lot of ways. I love the simple peanut butter toast or peanut butter sandwich!
I love nut butters! The best way is to eat it right from the jar with a spoon ;)

Peanut Butter and apples are a tasty match! Thanks!
I like to eat Peanut Butter with my oatmeal, and of course straight out of the jar :).
This nuttzo makes my usual almond butter look so boring! Combines all my favorite nuts & seeds-would def. pump up my morning routine!
Nut butter and celery are delicious and perfect for dipping!

I love, love, love PB... whether it's with my oatmeal, in a protein shake, in my cookies or on a slab of toast... I'll even eat it by the spoonful like that movie with Brad Pitt...Definitely going to check out this NuttZo brand! Thanks!! :)
I love pb mashed with banana and topped with chocolate chips. MMM!!!
Mmmm I love PB in my steel cut oats in the morning with sliced banana, coconut, and toasted almonds on top! The PB makes it so creamy and delicious. Sometimes I throw in a little square of dark chocolate :)
I like to think I make the best banana and pb sandwich! I lightly toast this hearty flax seed bread I love, add the peanut butter, very thinly sliced bananas in layers and a little honey. So good!
