Peanut butter at 45 calories. mmmmmmmmm. I like!

Peanuts slow roasted then pressed to remove 85% of the fat & oil.  This product is in a powder form that you mix with water.    I also use it in my shakes mixed with frozen grapes, and unsweetened silk almond milk to fulfill my peanut butter and jelly craving.  They sell PB2 in Alma at Anytime Fitness for $6.00.  Or Kroger in Waycross (health food area) for $4.50.

Megs awesome salmon cake recipe:


Per 1 large can of salmon (try to use Sockeye):
 1 beaten egg
1 diced green onion (or any onion you have)
¼ c Italian bread crumbs (they have the spices)
1-2 tsp lemon juice
½ - ¼ tsp spicy mustard
1 pinch cayenne (sauce is spicy too, so to your taste)
1-2 pinches turmeric
Pepper
 Mix all ingredients – makes for patties.  Lightly olive oil the bottom of a baking pan.
Bake on each side approx 5 min at 425 degrees. 

 I like them browned a little, so then I put on Broil for another few minutes if they aren't already.
