I have an unhealthy addiction to peanut butter. Given a spoon & jar, I can blow a day's worth of cals in less than 2 minutes. :noway: So.....I've heard good things about PB2 (yet to try) but also want to know if anyone out there can recommend a quality, low carb, tasty, PB Protein Powder.

I've wasted money before on Protein Powders that taste like chalk but have also invested money in some that are amazing (brands which of course do not come in peanut butter).

Thanks!

    This is an oxymoron.

    I've always been a dreamer.

    I ran out of this stuff a while back and haven't bought more because of the price, but it was actually pretty good when mixed with skim or almond milk. Lately I've just been making PB banana protein smoothies using 1 scoop vanilla, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, frozen banana, 2-3T pb2 and a little water.

    I really LOVE the PB Powder so I got some PB with extra protein powder and I am not that fond of it. I have it so I am using it but have to add other flavors to it. The extra protein is from peas and I taste that. I will not be purchasing it again and just stick with the regular PB Powder. Also it is only a few grams more of protein so not that worth it is my 2 cents.

    Body Fortress makes a pretty good chocolate peanut butter whey protein powder. I think it's like 7 grams of carbs and 26 grams of protein per scoop and has a really good flavor. Don't waste your money on the expensive powders. Most of them taste like crap and don't offer any benefit over some of the more inexpensive brands anyway.

    I just bought a couple jars of PB2 for the first time and it's good but it is a really light taste.. Might need more than 1 serving for the stronger peanut butter taste I guess. Nothing beats regular peanut butter though. I still eat it if it fits into my macros

    My feelings on PB2 is pretty much meh. I add it to a few things for a bit of flavor, but it tends to be a let down when compared to real PB. Some places stock the dark version, and I know a few that really like that one. I have never found it in my little town.

    Syntrax Matrix also makes a peanut butter cookie protein powder. I think it's good (I like their mint cookie a lot as well). 120 calories, 3 carbs, 23 g protein per scoop.
