I found a HEALTHY alternative to PB!!!! It is called PB2....I found it a wal-mart next to the regular peanut butter.......

PB2 is a little different tho......it is a powder.......for 1 serving you mix 2 tbsp of the powder with 1 tbsp of water and it is yummy!!! And I love PB and I just fell in love with it.....I have PB2 and an apple as my last snack of the day.....Here is the nutrition info: Serving size 2 tbsp, Calories 45, Fat calories 13, Sodium 94 mg, Total Carbs 5 g, Fiber 2 g, Sugars 1 g, Protein 5g...... here is a link to what it looks like..... http://www.iherb.com/bell-plantation-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter-with-premium-chocolate-6-5-oz-184-g/38246

I buy the one with chocolate in it and I just love it!!

Imagine how good a protein shake would taste made with PB2?? lol

Enjoy!!!

Just because it's less calories doesn't make it healthier. They're both healthy. PB2 lacks dietary fat, which I find delicious. I love both but I don't think it's fair to say one is healthier than the other because of its caloric content

There is nothing unhealthy about peanut butter.

I don't really eat peanut butter for the taste (even though it's a plus). I eat it for it's calorie density! But PB2 is good if you're a peanut butter fanatic and want the taste with less calories.

Excuse me while I go throw up. PB2 is awful.

And regular PB isn't unhealthy. It just has a lot of calories from fat. But it's filling.

I've never looked at the nutrition for PB2 but my mom uses it. I just really don't like how it tastes for some reason. I have put it into smoothies and shakes though which kind of masks the taste which is good.

If you haven't tried Nuttzo, you're missing OUT!

ElizabethElane

Awesome! Will be trying

It is because I love Peanut Butter that I do not eat PB2.

How is my peanut butter, which is made from 100% peanuts, unhealthy?

Serah87

Uuummmmmm....NO!!! I will stick the real stuff!!!

I use chocolate peanut butter in my smoothies for a little flavor, protein and sweetness. I thought some chocolate PB2 would work for fewer calories since it SHOULD taste similar.

$4-plus down the drain. I used it once and could barely finish that smoothie. I've also tried the regular PB2. A friend swore by it and insisted I try it and then kept insisting that it was good and I should switch to it even after I told her I prefered the real thing. PB2 people are like a cult, I swear.

Well, as others have said, peanut butter isn't unhealthy, so I'm not sure why you'd need a "HEALTHY alternative".

I admit that I am a bit curious about PB2. Particularly thinking of how I could use it in baking. I haven't been able to find it in the UK, though

Ewwww. I'll pass on powdered PB lacking fat and calories.

I'll stick with my regular peanut butter.

They also make a dark chocolate one.

I have both regular peanut butter and PB2 in my cabinet right now. I find them both useful for different things and wouldn't call either "healthier" than the other.

Glad you found something that works for you, though. :flowerforyou:

Just the other day, I saw something at the store that I'd never seen before and got SUPER EXCITED. I think it was called 'jelly'... but I'm not sure. I'll try to find it on the GOOGLE and report back!

I think it's on my accepted list of cleansing foods.

rieann84

I bought PB2 because I heard about it on here. It's freaking gross just eaten on its own or in a sammy. I have used the powder in protein shakes and it is good, though. However..if I can remember it doesn't have much protein anyway?

OMG, Just found out that there is now Peanut Butter Pop tarts available at Walmart in Canada. Glad today is grocery day

This is my favorite peanut butter EVAR! I really want to branch out and try their other flavors.

PB2 is amazing if you mix it in vanilla yogurt....just saying!!!!

I like PB2. I don't love it as much as I love real peanut butter... but I do love that it is lower in calories. It is good in my morning smoothies.

This is why we're friends...

PB2 doesn't taste like peanut butter. I mean it's not awful....but it's not great either. Why not just eat peanut butter?

It is because I love Peanut Butter that I do not eat PB2.

+ one.

I am so going to find a way to work these into my ice cream cleanse. And I saw from searching for this that P28 also makes a peanut butter, may have to hunt down a jar of that for the husband.

Stop hating on the PB2!! I love it and have it almost every day - not as an alternative to peanutbutter, but because I can do so much more with it in powdered form.

I like to:
- Stir it into my oatmeal
- Sprinkle on top of ice cream
- Mix it in with protein shakes
- Use it for cooking (on chicken, in stir fry, etc)

Yes, I know I can use regular peanutbutter for all of those things. But I'll just be honest and say that I am sometimes just too lazy to mess with the sticky goodness. So, powdered it is. If I want a PB&J sandwich or peanutbutter spread, I use regular peanutbutter.

PB2 is just peanuts, sugar, and salt - so what's the issue? You can have your peanutbutter and eat it, too
