What to dip in my peanut butter for lunch?

[slbirdnerd]

In the past we've taken Jif peanut butter zingle serve things and jelly on pita for lunch but I dont want to mess with the jelly and bread. What could I dunk in my PB that is easy and not bulky? Even better, what do you eat for lunch on the trail?

[max patch]

Peanut butter and jelly on a bagel with a hunk of cheddar cheese. Every day for 5 months.

When day hiking, or first day out on a short trip, a sub sandwich without the wet stuff (lettuce, tomatoe) that will make the bread soggy.

[chilln]

I have eaten with a protein bar. It makes the bar taste better and combined it makes a high protein high calorie lunch.

tortillas, compact & lasts a while. Although I seldom eat it off the trail a small plastic tub it it is a staple on the trail. Hint, use back side of your spoon to spread it. If you want jelly try http://www.minimus.biz/. Other trail lunches: Summer sausage, hard cheeses, sardines, foil/cans of tuna, chicken, ham, etc, hummus, dried fruit...

[Odd Man Out]

PB and J on a tortilla. Sorry - That's not too original.
Sometimes if the weather is bad in the morning, I eat my lunch for breakfast and then cook my breakfast (oatmeal/coffee) for lunch.

This. Haven't tried the sardines yet but everything else to a T. In the colder months, I add cheese sticks (mozzarella, cheddar) and cold cuts as well. Pita are bulky while tortilla are flat. Bagel thins work well also sandwich rounds. It depends on what else you have in your pack and how much softer items get squished.

Tip - dehydrating chick peas and beans for refried beans is easy. Then simply grind them in a blender (coffee grinder is better) and add spices to taste. Rehydration is quick and easy!

I've dipped ramen noodles (dry) in peanut butter and it taste pretty good. But I guess anything taste good when your hungry.

[daddytwosticks]

I have told to eat more fiber by my doc. I found my daily Kellogg's Fiber Plus granola bars dipped into one of those Jiff tubs was really a great lunch/snack while on the trail. :)

[da fungo]

Peanut butter an pickle sandwiches.

[FarmerChef]

Forgot to add that granola bars dipped in PB are very good.

I usually just dip a spoon in my PB.

Ritz Crackers taste awesome in peanut butter.

celery is good with PB spread on it

[Dogwood]

I don't dip into PB. I squeeze it out of a tube or from 1 oz packets. It goes in and on whatever or simply squeezed directly into the hungry hiker abyss - the mouth. Don't limit yourself to PB either. There are LOTS of other nut butters and nut butter combinations available if you expand your creativity and knowledge.

[daddytwosticks]

Heh, heh, heh...you said nut butter! :)

[mak1277]

I'm a big fan of PB and Snickers burritos (i.e., on a tortilla).

[Dogwood]

I do it all for you Big Daddy. Glad you enjoyed the nut butter comment.:) I'm tempted to get on Hwy 68 and head south to Murphy right now. I've been rained on 24 of the last 28 days. Enough already.

[Rightfoot]

Bacon and peanut butter on an everything bagel....

[Sampson]

In the colder months I bring smoked turkey or roast beef, a sharp cheddar and a package of bacon bits. Throw that on a tortilla and add a packet of mayo and it feels like you're at a Mexican deli. Hummus can be an excellent sandwich spread also. I don't get that creative with PB though, just add some jelly and call it a day.

[ken209]

Dip a hot pepper in it.

[rusty bumper]

After a couple months of PB on soft tortillas, I switched to Ritz crackers...a real nice change of pace. The crackers tend to break up a bit in your pack as the days go by, but no big deal...just as good in pieces as in those little round discs.

[danil411]

I have been adding Fritos or my trail mix to my PB tortillas.

That Mr. daddytwosticks!

Hey, if I was you, I'd hit the casino in Cherokee. It will be awhile before Murphy gets our own indian casino.

Hope the weather gets better for the rest of your hike. :)

[kythruhiker]

The only correct answer here is obviously bacon, a huge bag of dippin' bacon. You're welcome.

[Feral Bill]

Index finger. Do not bite it off.

[rocketsocks]

dried Apples, banana slices, pretzels.

[jimmyjam]

i like to dip oreos in pb

[RED-DOG]

Spam ( single serve packs) and cheddar Chesse on bagels or Tortilla Wrap with Summer Sausage and Cheddar Chesse, or Spam and Tuna creations on tortilla Wrap ( my fav is the Sweet & Spicy), or If i am in a hurry and don't feel like breaking out my food bag just simply Pop-Tarts and some GORP

[Dogwood]

Get those on sale reduced price Stinger Waffles while they last. I think the current version with Lance Armstrong on the packaging are discontinued so venders are offering them at a discount(or they should!). I've been snagging mine for under $1 at several places. I bought them out of their inventory at a EMS in NJ for 50 cts a piece. Wonder if they'll continue making them with someone else on the packaging.

Hey Dogwood, are you on a thru? I am at home in OH and the rain has sucked here, every day, can't imagine what you guys are going through. It's got to stop soon!!!

In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

[MamaBear]

Pretzels are good dipped in peanut butter. Get the thicker kind, they won't break off in the peanut butter as easily.

[upstream]

Dried figs.
