    I prefer the Just Great Stuff brand and yes powdered PB is all that and a bag of chips :D Come comp prep it's a lifesaver when my diet doesn't allow for the real thing.

    It's fine. The main issue with it is that it's obviously less filling than peanut butter, and arguably less healthy as it doesn't have the healthy fats that PB has.

    I like to stick to the real stuff for how often/much I eat of it.

    I use it for peanut sauce and I think it works great. Peanut sauce is one of my favorites and using PB2 lets me easily fit it in several times a week if I feel like it.

    I can't really eat it by itself-it is nothing like real PB, in my opinion.

    For smoothies and baking, though, it works great!

    I haven't had to guts to try it on toast yet.. But I make a mix of chocolate protein powder, milk and pb2 and freeze it. I have that when there's no ice cream in the house!

    I haven't tried it because I've heard it tastes similar to "natural" PB which I hate. I'd like to try it just to confirm/deny for myself.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the chocolate pb2 (I thought it would be more like Nutella :/ ) but wow. Pb2? I'm in love. It really is too good to be true.

    This brand is a lot better than PB2, I agree. It's almost not even in the same ball park. It's nuttier and more creamy.

    It's also twice the cost, at least here.

    Oh is it? It's a similar cost here to PB2. That's surprising because PB2 is so much more popular.
