PB2X4

...in our grocery list lingo, that means four containers of:

A little less than the amount Matt goes through per week!  And his answer to living a somewhat indulgent dining lifestyle while going through UPT with motion sickness.  Prior to IFS, Matt would go through several containers of regular peanut butter a week, and was terrified he would have to eliminate this treat from his already-limited (gluten free, dairy free [except for yogurt and cheese]) diet.  However, after discovering PB2, such is no longer the case!  :o)

PB2 is peanut butter sans the peanut oils, reconstitute-able by adding water.  Until this weekend, Matt would gulp it straight from the container (calling for me to dust off PB2 from his AF uniform on at least one occasion, and causing him to erupt into inhalation-based coughing fits on far more than one).  Lately, he has started to enjoy it reconstituted, almost as a soup, and treated himself to some fun add-ons from the commissary today: unsweetened cocoa powder, ginger preserves, raisins, and figs.

The fact that our very small-scale commissary always keeps PB2 in high supply makes me wonder if this is a popular solution for other pilots/pilot students as well?  It certainly is working wonders in Matt's case and it is nice to see him enjoy something so much, even if he leaves clumps of its dust all over the kitchen/house.  ;o)
