    There's also this beast called Better'n Peanut Butter that is the same idea--de-fatted peanuts-- only in butter form. 100 calories for 2TB. I'm not a huge protein shake girl, so I like this product as I want a good ol' PBJ every once in a while.

    I like adding it to recipes like smoothies but I did try mixing it together with water and making "peanut butter" and I thought it was disgusting that way.

    I love it! I haven't made a sandwich with it yet, but this morning I mixed some up and ate it with a banana cut into pieces. SO good! The chocolate kind tastes like if you were to mix pb and nutella. Very good!

    I LOVE PB2! I like to mix the chocolate PB2 with plain greek yogurt and then add a banana. So freaking good.

    I finally tried it last week......I was surprised that it was actually good. I'd heard about it, thought it would be terrible, and it was decent.

    ^^This!^^

    To re-constitute it you add water .....water + toast, water + crackers .....blech!

    Really good in oatmeal, added to pancake batter, stirred into vanilla greek yogurt, etc.

    Yeeech (IMO). This has goopy texture and tastes nothing like peanut butter.

    I LOVE peanut butter and put it in my oatmeal in the morning. I don't think I want to try anything artificial, but it sounds like many of you like it.

    PB2: Powdered Peanut Butter Ingredients:
    Roasted peanuts, sugar, salt.

    Basically they take peanuts and press the oil out. Peanut oil is then sold as a separate product.

    I love PB2. I mix 12g (1 serving) with just enough water to make it thick like a paste. I smear that on a slice of pumpernickle/rye swirl toast. Even makes a pretty darn good PB&J sandwich.

    If you're cool with added sugar and salt, go for it. The stuff's like crack.

    But if you're willing to buy plain old defatted peanut flour, it's the same thing with nothing added. You'll pay MUCH less and you can add your own sweetness if you so desire.

    Just look for peanut flour if you're interested. :)

    Have you looked at the pb2 label? No added sugar. Ok,..a bit in the chocolate kind, but in the regular....no added sugar.

    So far I put it in oatmeal and vanilla Greek yogurt. I thought about putting it in my protein shakes before remembering that it doesn't dissolve. On things like toast or carrots or something beyond just the flavor, I stick with a natural and/ or extra crunchy.

    Just checked the label on my PB2. It's got sugar in the ingredients list.
