Is PB2 too good to be true?

i find it to be meh...i'd take the real deal and the calories and actual nutrition that go with it if I could...but it's not allowed in the house due to my kiddo is allergic.

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

It really is. I'm loving it.

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.

If you like it great. I thought it was horrid and tossed it.

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

I really only use peanut butter Asian peanut sauce, so I may try 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!

^^^ This. This week I made choc/PB oat bars and made a choc/PB smoothy. Good stuff.

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.

Love it in smoothies with frozen strawberries, protein powder and almond milk for pb&j smoothie.

i mix it into my chocolate protein shake that I have for breakfast. Totally Yummy!!!!

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.

Well, I just double checked (I have a receipt handy LOL) and actually I exaggerated slightly: I just bought PB2 for $5.96 at Walmart two days ago. Last time I visited here, about 6mos ago (I'm visiting my folks in WA State), I bought Just Great Stuff at Albertsons and had to pay $9.99 for the same size jar. Walmart didn't carry either at the time but they have PB2 now.

Hmmmm...not a fan of PB2 so I've only been using in protein pancakes or my protein shake, but I do love sesame peanut sauce. I just saw a recipe that I wanted to try, so I may break it out & give it a try. Thanks!!

I love it

Makes a great peanutbutter cup shake

Goes on lots of yummy desert things that are lower calorie

The chocolate added variety is good too

Amazon is my friend. A 1 pound PB2 is an $8 add on purchase now. Hard to beat as a protein add on.
