What this plate gives you
One tablespoon of peanut butter is about 95 calories and 8 g of fat, which is most of this snack’s 9 g; the apple is the 29 g of carbohydrate and the 5 g of fibre. At 190 calories it is under 10 percent of a 2,000-calorie day. The tablespoon is measured because a spoon from the jar is easily two, and then it is a 290-calorie snack. Cut the apple when you eat it; the slices brown.
Swaps
- Almond butter: the same calories.
- Pear: about the same numbers.
- A pinch of cinnamon: no change to the numbers.
Keeping it
None needed: an apple and a jar. Cut apple browns within twenty minutes unless it is dipped in lemon.
