Peanut Butter?
I just "can't" do the PB. It is toooooooooooo addictive. I can go through that stuff. So I stay away. Good Luck!!!

I had pb the first time when I went on regular food. But, since then -- under the recommendation of my "long distance trainer" (there's a story there. LOL), I switched to organic almond butter. Oh EM GEE!! It is sooo good, so much better than peanut butter, in both taste and for you. No added sugar at all, no added anything where I get it. Just ground up almonds. Delicious. Soooo delicious.
Just my opinion, but the protein-versus-carbs ratio wasn't good enough for me to fit it into my plan during WL phase. Even now I avoid it except for maybe a half-teaspoon now and again. I kicked PB2 to the curb for the same reason. There are much more sleeve-friendly and WL-friendly ways to get that protein in. :)
FYI - 1 TBS Peanut Butter (old fashioned) is 95 calories, 4 grams protein, 8 grams fat, 3.5 carbs. Since you're looking for ways to get more protein in, this probably wouldn't be the best choice since it is such a low protein bang for the calorie buck. Of course, just my opinion.
I know you've struggled with getting protein in, but can you try flavoring plain Greek yogurt and see if that works? Early out I used Greek yogurt to help boost my protein numbers. It was easy to get down and I could manage 1/2 cup of it pretty early out. That gave me 12 grams of protein, 5 carbs in 65 calories. A much better deal for me.
