Peanut Butter-Aholics alternatives?
- Rating: No Rating
My daughter eats two food groups: Peanut Butter and Fruit. Her preschool class is getting a child who is SEVERELY allergic to peanuts and all tree nuts, however, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to move away from the PBJ for lunch. (And I wasn't kidding about the two food groups. She won't eat cheese except cream cheese and no meats but hot dogs, ground beef, and the occasional chicken nugget. ::: sigh ::: )

Wow I don't know what I would do in this situation. I can't wait to read other comments from other moms because this will help me too.

Hi Leigh,
I too have a child who loves peanut butter. The best alternative I have to peanut butter is a roasted pumpkin seed butter. It is a little expensive, but my kids love it with honey, apple butter or even bananas.
Enjoy.

I would try humus: it has a similar texture to peanut butter and can be used in sandwiches with a variety of vegetables, particularly kid friendly cucumbers. Also apple butter or cream cheese with squished berries are great alternatives.

Hi Sally - yes hummous is a great option, my kids love it w/ everything.
You can make it or buy it prepared, the proper spelling is hummous.
