PB2

madamepsych0sis

I've been wanting to try PB2 for months & have finally bought a jar! The only thing is, I don't know what to add it to aside from oatmeal!

Any ideas or tips?

I have just got my first jar too, only tried it made up and spread on toast, pleasantly surprised, think you can put it in smoothies.

How many calories in a serving?

I mix it with a scoop of protein powder and spread it on a banana. Super yum! Not a good replacement for real peanut butter though IMHO.

It definitely tastes different than real pb, but it seems like a great alternative with 5g of protein and less fat!

45 calories in a serving which is 2 tablespoons

Yeah, I need to just get this. I can't have regular peanut butter in the house.

Add to a smoothie, or yogurt.

In smoothies with banana and apples, on vanilla ice cream, in yogurt.

yogurt with a little stevia

I mix it into light whipped topping for a low-cal sweet treat

I use it in Greek yogurt and oatmeal, pretty much.

Yogurt, pancake batter, and smoothies. I also just mix it with water and spread on apples and rice cakes.

I bought some recently.. I shook it up in a protein shake but it turned out kind of chunky

I like adding to plain greek yogurt

It's delicious in protein shakes.

In addition to the things others have mentioned (e.g., yogurt, apples), I like to use it in Asian peanut sauces. Really kicks the peanut flavor up a lot w/o adding tons of calories, and as a bonus tends to thicken the sauce up.

I've also added it to baked goods on occasion to tighten up batters that are too loose when I don't mind the finished goods tasting a little like peanuts (e.g., cookies, pancakes or oatcakes, etc.).

Also, I've done roasted chickpeas and tossed them in PB2 + cinnamon for a fantastic healthy treat.

I like it as a dip for my apples and bananas.

It tastes really good mixed in with ice cream, believe it or not.

It can be added to some baked goods.

It makes a really good peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Why I say really good is, because if you're like me, you might like using a LOT of peanut butter. I double the serving size for mine, which makes for a really peanut butter-y sandwich, and 90 cals of peanut butter when using PB2. Granted, I use regular peanut butter when I need the extra calories.

Smoothies, too.

Tip: Use a tbsp of milk instead of water if you like it creamier.

I add it to the trash can. Peanut butter is all about the healthy fats, and pb2 gets rid of it. Any food product that eliminates the healthiest part of the food seems to be a waste of money to me.

These are all excellent ideas!! I might try to add it to a stir fry, that sounds quite interesting.

I take my apples and bananas (it's especially good with bananas) and just dip them right into the powder, I don't bother to make it into actual pb. lol.
