CRUNCHY OR CREAMY, "THAT IS THE QUESTION."
If someone were to show you both types of Jif or any brand of peanut butter, the stats would read the same for the crunchy and the creamy: 'two tablespoons equal 195 calories'. There is more to this story. The creamy spreads much better, and you will use half the amount of creamy than crunchy on a slice of toast.
I have a solution as to how you can use crunchy peanut butter so that it will spread more easily and you will use much less; plus it tastes better than any peanut butter I have ever eaten. I lightly toast my favorite Kangaroo whole wheat pita half (it is packaged that way). I place about a tablespoon of Jif Crunchy peanut butter into the pocket and put it in the microwave for 22 seconds. The peanut butter gets softened and warm and spreads like a dream. The bread is 90 calories and the sandwich is just under 200 calories.
The wrapper from the bread shows a picture of a cold salad filling into a pocket. I could think of 20 better, more appetizing ways to fill that pocket. To name a few recipes from my book: Cheeseburger Pocket, made with cooked crumbled hamburger, fat free cheese and sauteed onions, Tuna Melt, Apple Pocket Pie, and Roasted Vegetables and Cheese. I will post a recipe soon for the hot and crispy wrap/or pocket.
