Field trip day!

LQ is going on a field trip and she's sooooo excited!  They were originally going on the trip last week but it was postponed due to the bad weather.  So this excitement has been building up for over a week.  The only con with field trips is that she can't take her lunchbox which means that she can't take food that needs to stay cold, but here we go!

Peanut butter and raisins on a whole wheat English muffin

Chobani strawberry greek yogurt

Apple slices

Popcorn

Trailmix (unsweetened banana chips, Barbara multigrain cereal, crasins and walnuts)

Peanut butter popcorn

Morning snack:  Quinoa porridge topped with cinnamon and raisins

Lunch:  Pita stuffed with hummus, avocado, chicken and Parmesan, red bell peppers and pretzel Goldfish

Afternoon snack:  Clementine and peanut butter popcorn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's no secret that our favorite snack is peanut butter.  We eat it by the spoon full on a daily basis.  So, I was ecstatic when a couple of years ago I stumbled across a fantastic product, PB2.  Normal peanut butter has about 16 grams of total fat while PB2 has 1.5 grams of total fat.  So if you're watching your weight but love peanut butter as much as we do, this is a great option.  Plus, it's a powder which makes it easy to sprinkle on all kinds of stuff.  And another bonus, they have chocolate flavored peanut butter!!  

Ingredients

1 TBS popcorn kernels

1 TBS PB2

1 brown paper bag

Method

Put popcorn kernels in a brown bag and fold over the open end.  Put it in the microwave.  Microwave for 3 minutes and listen for when most of the popping stops.  Each microwave is different, it takes a little over 2 minutes in mine.  Once the popcorn is done sprinkle the PB2 in the bag and shake.  (Unfortunately, I didn't have chocolate PB2.)
