    PB2 is the best! The PB2 chocolate is even better. That said it isn't oily or thick like real peanut butter. I really like it though. Amazon has a good deal on both.

    Well, each to their own. I don't like it, but a friend of mine loves it. They PB flavor is there, but it's just missing something. You may have to just try it for yourself.

    I prefer the jif chocolate peanut butter powder but pb2 works in a pinch. Don't go in expecting the delicious flavor and comfort of peanut butter though.

    I love it, but I never use it as 'spreadable-make-a-sandwich' peanut butter. I use in recipes that call for peanut butter like peanut noodles, shakes, oatmeal mix-in, muffins, etc.

    I bought a bag of powdered peanut butter a couple of months ago. Tried it. It tasted ok but I prefer the real thing and haven't tried it again yet.

    Should just toss a couple of tbsps in my morning protein shake to use it up, but the amount of protein (5G) in it just doesn't justifythe extra caloric intake (45 cals) IMO.

    I use a brand called PB and Me (I think it's Canadian) which I much prefer to PB2. It's good in oatmeal and smoothies, but I even like this particular brand as a spread. Peanut butter is one of those foods I'm not good at enjoying in moderation but I'm fine with having the powdered stuff around the house and it tastes good, so it does the trick for me!

    I never eat it on its own, but I love it in protein shakes, oats, cottage cheese (seriously, powdered peanut butter in cottage cheese with chopped apples is DA BOMB), and yogurt. I also like it in noodle sauces and for home made protein bars.

    I like the Jif. I've never had good luck getting the PB2. Every jar of that I've bought has had an off taste.

    If you had a little honey to it, it's more like reg peanut butter..

    I buy protein plus (no salt or sugar) peanut flour and use it for my Asian peanut sauces. If I drank smoothies I would absolutely add it to those too.

    I have seen a lot of recipes using it, so I bought a container of the PB2 a few weeks ago to try. Still sitting there un-opened. I love peanut butter and I plan on using this for some treats but havent gotten around to it yet.

    I always use way more than 2 tbs to get the flavor. So for me it's not good. YMMV

    I have tried the PB2 just the way they say to make it into peanut butter.. its good but not got the same taste as regular because there is no oil in it.. its basically dehydrated peanut butter... all natural... I have gotten to where I use it in my protein shakes rather than just making it into peanut butter.. has a great flavor and adds the little extra protein to it. I have seen the PB2 Chocolate.. but as I am not a huge chocolate person I have never tried that.

    check out my diary.. under my breakfast where it is used daily...

    I love PB2, rarely use it now that I'm in maintenance and no longer dieting. I dunno where people get the "it's half sugar" but the ingredients are listed, they simply remove most of the fat to make it lower calorie. 2 tbsp usually isn't enough though, I usually put about 4-6 tbsp worth (up to 36g) mixed with water on bread for a sandwich.
