Peanut Flour, My New Best Buddy!

Dec 09, 2010

I hate using text-ease, but, OMG!  I just discovered peanut flour, which is left over after processing the oil out of peanuts, and it is FAB-U-LOUS!  Just 100 calories per 1/4 cup, my mind wanders to all the great stuff I will back with it!   Add just a two tablespoons in a protein shake (50 calories - 4 grams protein) - adding protein without all the fat - it tastes GREAT!  So far, I bought my first batch at Trader Joe's, but I will look around for price point purchasing.

Trader Joe's also tempted me (and won) with Better Than Peanut Butter (I still want to try the one that uses flax seed & flax seed oil), shaking my fist...  The taste of peanut butter without the icky sweetness of sugar free syrup - less calories, added protein, Ooooo Weeeee, Baby!

Okay, so I finally bought Fage -- pronounced "Fa - Eeh" - NOT pronounced like my nutritionist stated -- and I got some Trader Joe's zero fat Greek Yogurt, pretty tasty so far.  I had been using Oikos, which is all right, but I admit the 300 calorie low fat honey is amazing -- but I haven't eaten it often, as I rank it in the Ben & Jerry's territory (wink wink).  I may play around with culturing my own Greek Style Yogurt -- damn if the Internet isn't helpful?!

I will be playing around with Gastric Friendly cookies... The Cookie Czar rides again....
