Figure-friendly peanut butter snacks

Hungry Girl has a great roundup of some peanut buttery snacks that will still allow you to slip into your swimsuit before heading out to the beach this summer. Peanuts are an excellent source of protein and also contain a good amount of fiber. Unfortunately, peanuts are also quite high in fat and, as a result, high in calories. The serving size for peanut butter is only 2 tablespoons, and it has (approximately) 180 calories and 16 grams of fat. While it is healthy, it can also be hazardous to your diet, especially if you have been known to sneak an extra spoonful or two from the jar. Hungry Girl's picks all have a good peanut butter flavor and nowhere near the fat and calories of the peanut butter alone, so they're a great way to have a snack and get some peanut butter flavored goodness.

Her picks include: Dreyer's Slow Churned Light, Peanut Butter Cup; South Beach Diet, 100 Calorie Snack Bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip; 100 Calorie Packs, Planters Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps; Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Supremes, Peanut Butter Cup; and Barbara's Bakery, Peanut Butter Puffins Cereal.
