If you’re looking for a delicious, filling, and healthy snack, you’re looking for peanut butter.

Pair peanut butter with basically any other food, and it’ll improve it. We compiled a list of our top ten favorite ways to enjoy this yummy spread. And, bonus, most of these are quick and easy to make — perfect for busy college kids like us!

PB on Banana with Honey

This one is a classic — and for good reason. A staple of the South, this snack is both tasty and filling, not to mention super easy to throw together in a pinch.

PB on Toast with Cinnamon

Talk about the perfect breakfast! This takes classic cinnamon toast to the next level. Plus, the peanut butter gives you a nice little boost of protein to fill you up and keep you going for your next class or activity. You can even add a drizzle of honey to sweeten it up.

PB in Yogurt with Granola

When I’m in a hurry to get to class and I need to grab something from my fridge, my go-to is a cup of yogurt with some peanut butter and granola swirled in.

PB Smoothie

Add peanut butter to pretty much any combo of fruit, juice, and ice, and you’re sure to have a sweet frozen treat. Try the Banana Granola Smoothie or Blueberry Peanut Butter Smoothie in this article — both are delish blended with a spoonful of PB.

PB with Celery

The fiber of celery combined with the protein and healthy fats of peanut butter? Perfect. Simply smear some peanut butter onto a stick of celery and crunch away!

PB and Yogurt on Frozen Grapes

I recently tried this (at my friend’s insistence) and realized that I’ve been missing out my entire life. It’s the perfect combo of sweet and sour.

PB No-Bake Protein Bars

Since this is my mom’s recipe, I may be biased, but I’d say these are pretty delicious. Just mix equal parts peanut butter, honey, and oats into a baking dish and freeze overnight.

Ants on a Stump

Easily my all-time favorite, simply slice an apple horizontally, spread on some peanut butter, and top with chocolate chips, M&M’s, or raisins.

PB on Bacon

I know. It sounds gross. But trust me, it's amazing. Bacon is great. Peanut butter is great. So why wouldn’t they be great together? Try it and see for yourself.

PB on Pancakes

Last (but certainly not least) is this breakfast match made in heaven. Throw in berries, syrup, and cool whip and start your day like a champ.

We hope you enjoy these tasty recipes as much as we do! And as always,

Be well, Auburn.
