    I LOVE Jason Bateman!!!!!

    Do you not like PB2 ? thoughts, I am curious.

    on a thread about real peanut butter, it's just fundamentally wrong to suggest a peanut butter substitute.

    it would be like having somebody come on to a thread about delicious bacon double cheeseburgers and try to convince everyone that a tofu burger with turkey "bacon" was equivalent.

    Next question...?

    Exactly.

    OK, I can accept that, and I agree, she did not ask for an alternative. I am sorry about that.

    I took the post to mean: what are your thoughts on the calories in PB and as it affects weight loss, in that - I suggested the PB2 (which is natural PB, all natural with no artificial flavors or sweeteners, and no preservatives. so is that really a substitiute anyway ?)

    But as far as regular PB goes, still love it too, and fit it in where I can!

    And I'd also like to add-

    Suggesting a tofu burger in place of a real burger, is 100% different than suggesting PB2 powder PB in place of regular PB.

    ** For people on here that said regular PB was too caloric and could derail their success with the high calories, I still believe PB2 is a great suggestion and worth a try.

    I keep a jar of it in my desk with a couple sleeves of rice cakes for easy lunch every day. Yes, every day. Some of it is pure love of peanut butter, but the majority is that I hate making lunches.

    I miss it, I have it once in a while at work, other than that we don't keep it in the house. My daughter is allergic to all nuts and I feel guilty having something she can't in front of her.

    I avoid it, not because of its taste (it's yum!) but because of the high calories.

    Same here unfortunately because if I have peanut butter, I need jelly, 2 slices of bread and some milk. And then possibly another sandwich. I like it a little too much haha.

    It should be the national food!

    I thought for Americans it is; for the rest of the world not so much. For me personally; it is not worth it in real as well as caloric cost. The smallest jar of Jiffy ( which for me is not even real PB) costs the equivalent of US$ 7.-, and for what the calories are for a Tbsp, I can eat a salad, which I prefer.

    get. In. MAH BELLEH!!

    Seriously. I eat Peanut Butter every morning, 2 tbsp in my oatmeal. I joke with my family that I would go through withdrawal like symptoms if I ddin't have it every day, we laugh, but I think it might secretly be true.

    Oh, how I love the creamy, gooey, stick-to-the-roof-of-my-mouth goodness that is in every spoonful.

    I like it in oats, on toast or solo. As a dip for carrots, celery, apples and bananas. On flat bread, crackers, rice cakes and my finger....

    Excuse me while I wipe off the drool.

    Funny this is a topic. I just had to throw away my Skippy "all natural" (which we know it's not) peanut butter because I can't eat just two tablespoons. It's my weakness! Spoon to mouth. Spoon to mouth. Spoon to mouth. Back to eating the stuff without sugar! hehe

    I buy this amazingly delicious Cinnamon Raison Swirl by Peanut Butter & Co. and it is to die for. It is calorie dense so I dont have it daily but I could find a way if it's what I wanted.

    I am a PB fanatic. I now use PB2. You can find it in Whole Food stores and Walmart sometimes has it. These stores have a hard time keeping the shelf stocked. It is good. :happy:

    Here's the web site: http://www.bellplantation.com/products.html

    ***Here's some info from their site:

    PB2 has the same consistency as full fat peanut butter with all of the natural roasted peanut flavor, but with nearly 85% less fat calories. PB2 is made with high quality peanuts that are slow-roasted to our specifications and pressed to remove the oil. All natural with no artificial flavors,sweeteners, or preservatives.

    PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is mixed with water to create a traditional peanut butter mixture. It also works and tastes wonderfully in recipes that call for the use of peanut butter.
