Peanut butter. The old fashioned style, like Laura Scudders of Adams. Or you can do what I sometimes do and go to your local health food store and grind your own. It is a great protein provider and tasty too. Experiment with what you can add to it. Cinnamon is one of my faves. Mashed fruit is good a little sugary but makes up for it with vitamins. It goes great with celery of course. If you can afford your own grinder you might experiment with other nuts. I eat a lot of chicken and fish as I'm not a vegetarian. But beef is best taken in small quanitities. Good luck with your vegetarian diet. Although I've never tried it, I've thought about it often.
