Today I have reinstituted an old snack from my younger years.  I love peanut butter and celery.  I used to eat this all the time. Some people put raisins on this snack as well, but i stick with the two main ingredients.  I figure the healthy aspect of the celery will counter balance the unhealthy aspects of the peanut butter.  After my first snack that included this delicious pair, I decided that it must be healthy and good for me since it tasted so good.   It is common knowledge that foods that tastes sinful, rarely is. It is usually the healthiest.  Well this may not be completely true, but after a little digging, I found that the Zone Diet does have several recipes that include peanut butter.

            The four recipes I found were for a bacon and apple sandwich that uses peanut butter as the condiment, a piece of toast with peanut butter as the topping,  a waffle with peanut butter and apricots as the topping, and a Thai dish that uses peanut butter as a sauce.  I had never really thought of two of these uses, but they might be worth a try.  Once again the Zone Diet has found a way to include everyone’s favorite foods into the diet.
