The best Jams, Jellies & Sweet Spreads: Reddit reviews

It's basically peanut butter with the fat removed, so it ends up being a powder. You then add water to it to make it a peanut butter consistency. Here it is on amazon, but you can normally find it in the peanut butter section at grocery stores. I think other peanut butter brands have started making their own version of it too!

Instead of making "peanut butter" with it, it's really good mixing into things like smoothies and sauces in its powdered form to give them a peanut flavor without all the calories. I make a sauce with it by mixing it with soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, and a little honey for a yummy lower cal asian peanut sauce.

Here’s another fun tidbit, Goober Grape is a thing. Just in case making peanut butter and jelly was one step too many for your culinary skills.

From Costco a while ago. I haven't had it recently, need to get more.

You can get it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-Bundle/dp/B00ABKWSTA

It may seem expensive, but it goes a long way.

I used it a lot in smoothies for flavor and some extra protein. I'd imagine it would also go really well with Asian-style dishes.

Prepare to have your world rocked

Although I actually prefer this brand

Protein is the hard one. Good low fodmap vegan sources of protein that I know of are:

Peanut protein (e.g. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00NQLE5JC/)

Pea protein isolate (though some including me have trouble, ymmv)

Rice protein (probably brown rice protein)

Algae based protein, such as spirulina

Mycelium based protein, such as is in quorn (though most quorn products are neither vegan nor low fodmap)

Quinoa

Wild rice

There are some people who can tolerate more, such as well rinsed and pressed extra firm tofu, or gluten (which is quite high in protein), or canned lentils and beans. None of those work at all for me though. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I love the idea and want to support it as best I can.

I really like drinkable egg whites as a non-diary protein drink. They're odorless and flavorless and mix with just about anything. I like to mix them with PBFit/Naked PB: basically a powdered peanut butter. Naked PB will really answer the mail here as it has NO sugar, let alone artificial sugar.

With that, you have a diary-free/no artificial sugar protein drink.

For the egg whites, they're running a sale at the moment: if you type in "FALL" at checkout, there's a discount.

My shakes: Milk, coffee, banana, peanut butter, ON vanilla ice cream protein powder, ice cubes, and some greens (like spinach).

One thing I discovered recently (thanks to Will Tennyson on YouTube) that I didn't know existed: peanut butter powder. It's easier to deal with when making shakes than regular peanut butter, and they have it at normal grocery stores.

Also, I've never been to Smoothie King, so this is likely nothing like what you have there.

PBfit All-Natural Peanut Butter Powder, Powdered Peanut Spread From Real Roasted Pressed Peanuts, 8g of Protein (30 Oz.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKEECLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZGT8CYBMYFZ6CVXWRSVD

Trust me, its worth spending the time to get your hands on it. Excellent for this kind of stuff. Also can make some amazing milk shakes.

PB2 on Amazon

I get mine off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KKEECLS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Even though it's more expensive upfront than buying a thing of PB, it saves a ton of $$$ in the long term and lasts awhile. :)

Any comparable products in Japan to PBfit? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FYXCQ1S/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I like putting it in my protein powder but it isn't sold in Japan (and doesn't ship to Japan via Amazon).

Also, recommended restaurants in Tokyo to bring a pescatarian? I don't eat much fish/seafood myself, so trying to find a place with good options while also not bringing an American to a place where they can eat stuff they find in America anyway.

thanks! :)

my favorite brand is pbfit. it's available in all the us grocery stores i've checked, and it's only 1 carb and 25 calories per tablespoon. [also on amazon]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKEECLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ODlYCbNHQ3BE5). banana cream isopure with peanut butter is my absolute favorite.

EDIT: apparently i dont read closely enough, as /u/dokwilson also mentions the pb2 idea. great minds and all that

So along with cocoa powder. you can look for a product called PB2. it is essentially dehydrated peanut butter. it could help with the texture issue mentioned by /u/anchasta. here is a link to the product on amazon (not a refferal link) for informational purposes. depending on where you live you can probably find it at target, walmart, whole foods or trader joe's etc

they also have a pb/chocolate blend might be worth looking into.

http://www.amazon.com/Plantation-PB2-Powdered-Premium-Chocolate/dp/B0098WV8F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433516160&sr=8-1&keywords=pb2+peanut

Thicken with defatted peanut butter powder. It has also the good stuff in peanut butter, including the taste, but is not literally 50% fat.

(Name brand is pb2, the chocolate flavor is also rat safe as rats are not sensitive to theobromine)

Peanut BUTTER is bad, but raw is Ok. small pet journal says that they do have anti nutrients, so don't make them a primary feed.

I used defatten peanut butter powder to give meds to my stubborn baby. It turned into a nice paste.

A protein supplement mixes well in this situation. Could also use a peanut butter powder, like this

https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-Farms/dp/B00NQLE5JC

Or you can use egg whites instead of nut milk, like this stuff

https://www.eggwhitesint.com/product-category/liquid-egg-whites/

PB2 is delish and made for this exact thing - https://www.amazon.com/Plantation-PB2-Powdered-Premium-Chocolate/dp/B0098WV8F2/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B0098WV8F2&psc=1. i add salt and cayenne pepper and dip apples in it. sooooooo good.

The zero calorie peanut flavored spread by Walden Farms brand may be an option. Some people hate it, some people like the flavor a lot. In a PBJ with a sugar free jelly it can be passable.

So in order to answer you, I had to: 1) walk into the kitchen and sample some on my finger three times. 2) ask my wife how she would describe the taste of Vegemite. 3) Google how others have tried to describe it. 😂

Without thinking my instinctual response as an Aussie is, it tastes like Vegemite! But I completely get that that is entirely unhelpful to someone who has never tried it.

To best try to describe it, I would say firstly it's savoury, quite salty tasting, almost a little metallic but not in a bad way, it's sort of beefy, but not, as it is vegan friendly, it's tangy and slightly bitter. It's flavour is strong, so you don't need alot of it when you are serving it.

Over here we are basically raised on the stuff from a very young age so most Aussies are fans of it. It's pretty much a pantry staple, never goes off, and is an easy snack spread applied on various carbs such as sliced bread fresh or toasted, large grain crackers/crispbread such as Ryvita or Cruskits, or fresh bread rolls like a knot roll. Almost always served with a layer of butter, margerine or Nuttelex. It's often used as a flavour layer with cheese in scenarios where the carb is toasted and served hot.

It can also be used in heaps of cooking recipes that you wouldn't think of immediately, there is a great range of recipe ideas on the Vegemite.com.au website.

I would certainly recommend giving it a try, just don't apply too much at first, start off with a very very light smear buttered fresh bread.

I am a peanut butter junkie. While I don't have the negative association with it that you have, it was important for me to remove it from my diet. At 95 calories per teaspoon, that's a LOT of empty calories.

I found solace in Naked PB. At 25 calories per teaspoon it's far more manageable. Mix two teaspoons (one scoop) with a bit of warm water, a bit of Stevia sweetener, and a dash of salt, and you've got a reasonable substitute -- enough, at least, to curb the cravings when they hit.

Many similar products, just look for "peanut butter powder".

When I do long-distance backpacking, I take nuts, protein bars and peanut butter in addition to my core meals. We easily burn 5-6k calories a day (hiking 15-20 miles a day in mountainous terrain). Meals are mostly oatmeal and backpacking meals bolstered with potato flakes. I also carry one "survival brick" as a backup.

I love peanut butter too, it's soooo high in calories though :'(

Try PBFit! It's a powdered peanut butter that you mix with water, and it's like 50 calories for 2 tablespoons! It tastes great, not quite exactly the same as real peanut butter, but it definitely satisfies my craving for peanut butter. Also goes great in protein shakes :)

When I'm feeling hungry but don't have much in my budget for a snack, I just go for a cup of coffee instead. You can add 0 calorie sweeteners or syrups (I like these) to make them more flavorful. It kinda tricks your brain into thinking you ate something and coffee has just enough calories to stave off hunger :)

maybe your just bloated constantly, and for junk food try low calorie snacks.

Sorry, I misspoke. It’s PB peanut butter powder, has 8g of protein. I usually add it to my smoothies, but I’ve mixed it with water to make peanut butter and it’s delicious. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKEECLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_9JYFE4K75BBS1TS81828

I'm a big fan of it. And you can up the protein in it without an actual protein powder using something like peanut flour/peanut butter powder Adds flavor to it too.

PB Fit really good stuff. You can even just add some water and mix it up to make a good peanut butter

Those corn flakes are just junk filler food. There's minimal nutrition to them. You are consuming very little dietary fat. Dietary fat has 9 calories per gram, compared to carbs or protein which are 4 calories per gram. Very easy way to get in more calories that way.

I'd eat some sort of meat at lunch. You could eat it WITH the pasta, or eat meat and then an avocado or some sort of nut. The morning yogurt could be supplemented with some manner of nut or nut butter. You could also mix in a protein powder or something like this into the yogurt to make it more nutritionally dense.

Top the eggs and cheese with sour cream for some extra calories. Also another great opportunity for avocados. And consider mixing in some meat with the eggs.

For that snack, I'd look into some manner of nuts/nut butters.
