Well, this afternoon, I was hit with the same indecisive feelings. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted. No veggies sounded appealing. No sandwich sounded good.
One thing that always sounds good?
Peanut butter!
And I just so happened to have a nearly empty jar on hand, so I make a batch of chocolate oats in a jar.
I added some chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder to standard oats that I cooked in milk on the stovetop and loved every single chocolate and peanut buttery bite.
I’ll eat some vegetables later, I promise.
Time for some t-shirt talk!
PBF T-Shirts
As you know, I am in the process of designing and ordering peanut butter-themed t-shirts. I think our intense love of peanut butter is something we should all shout from the rooftops and I’ve had a bunch of different peanut buttery slogans swimming around in my mind for more than a year now.
It’s time to slap those slogans on some shirts and show our peanut butter love with pride!
Since I want greater control over the design and quality of the shirts (no boxy Hanes t-shirts over here!), I’m going to order a bunch of shirts at one time and hold inventory in my apartment and ship them to you guys myself. Since I don’t want to be swimming in shirts for years to come, I want to make sure I order shirts you guys love!
If you have a minute, I would really appreciate your input in the following survey so I can take your responses into consideration and get crackin’ on this project!
- Question One:
Here are pictures of the two styles I am deciding between:
T-shirt
Tank top
Now, which do you prefer?
[polldaddy poll=5152085]
- Question Two:
Color swatches:
Which color do you like best?
[polldaddy poll=5152071]
- Question Three:
[polldaddy poll=5152054]
Thank you so, so much for your feedback. This is going to help me a ton!
Kiran says
The purple tank top looks neat 🙂
Jen says
I just want to say that I would have voted for “My heart’s…” if aflutter was spelled as one word – I’m surprised, you’re the grammar queen!
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says

janet says
I think a photo of Sadie on the shirt should be an option …. 🙂
Jocelyn @ Enthusiastic Runner says

Cait @ Urban Fencepost says
I like the tank top! It would be great for working out because the cut of it works well w/ a sports bra.
Nicole G says
I love both but I vote the T shirt just because I feel you can wear it more places and through more seasons 😉
I love the purple the best but pink is my second choice.
Lindsay says
Can not WAIT until your shirts are available! I really think there needs to be a Sadie Tshirt too though 🙂
Corrie says
I hope you will ship to Canada 🙂
Abby says
If you did t shirts and tank tops I would get one of each! 🙂
Amber @ Stop and Smell the Wildflowers says
I love that you’re asking your readers for their opinions. No matter what style/color/slogan combo you end up getting, I know they will be cute!
Niki (Life's a Payne) says
These were all hard decisions! You have some great ideas, can’t wait to see what you pick!
Carey @ Positively Blonde says
That’s so exciting! I can’t wait to see the shirts when your done! I put my vote in for the tank
Julie says
Those t-shirts look great! I love the fit and can’t wait to order one, although I did have a difficult time voting on the color. I love the slogan “my heart’s a flutter for peanut butter” 🙂
kristen says
great ideas! Ivoted pink for the shirt but also liked the blue!
Chelsea says
Ahh I found a place today and imd thought of you!

Mmmmhm 🙂 Anny ideas?!
Cindy B. says
Sound like a good idea to me!
Roz Pearcy says
I like the tanks, good for workouts! Maybe the heather grey with pink lettering…gosh I’m girly lol!
Silvia @ skinny jeans food says
Julie, I would really love shirts that are made not of cotton but a material similar to running shirts, even if they are a bit more expensive.
Primrose says
I think we should have tanks because what’s the point of working out if you can’t show off your toned arms? Plus summer is around the corner!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
what a fun idea Julie! I personally love green so that’s what I voted for, but it was the lowest ranked 😛
Brittany says
That poll was fun 🙂 Can’t wait to see what shirt(s) you come up with!
Lisa says
What about “My hearts a flutter for peanut butter (fingers)” or something that gets a lil promo goin’ with your cute slogans
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Loooove this!!! Totally voted 🙂 Also! Have you thought about adding the word “some” to “my heart’s a flutter for peanut butter” so it reads “my heart’s a flutter for some peanut butter”??? For some reason, i think that flows better/reads better… just a thought!
Em Marie says
A day without peanut butter is a day without happiness – ’nuff said!
Khushboo says
I love the purple t-shirt and the ‘pb&j is the jam’ slogan! I would definitely wear these tshirts out socially!
Laura Fredlund says
same here, all the colors are cool! I love the t shirt, and Peanut Butter Fingers slogan for sure
Tina Odzic says
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I love love looove your blog! I read it every day, in fact sometimes it’s even difficult to wait for the next post 🙂 You’re so great you have readers even in Slovenia (it’s in Europe, the capital is 2hours east of Venice) 🙂 (Oh and I’d love to have that T-shirt and represent peanut butter fanatics over here :P)
Keep up the good work 🙂
Jennifer (The Gourmetour) says
I voted on everything but the colors- I couldnt decide! I think I’d be happy with any color, but my votes are for: white, heather, pink or purple (or green) haha!
Amber K says
Holy cow the t-shirt is sooo long. I LOVE that grey though!
Marissa says
I have days like that too–just nothing sounds good! But remember, a day without getting your 5-a-day is no big deal. It all evens out in the end. One day, I’ll maybe have 3 or 4 vegetables… the next I could have 8!
Christina says
I am a first time commenter and I would just like to say that I love your blog. I cannot wait to order a t-shirt. I am a peanut butter fanatic as well :)!
suchadello says
i’ll say it again, american apparel v-necks! the best!!
Sara says
You could put your website address on the shirts too… like on the back so you could get more traffic to your site!
Stephanie Walter says
I think you should look into making running/work out shirts instead of just cotton. I would love a wicking material so I could wear it working out.
Thanks!
Joseph Ertman says
