    I found something similar at Costco called PBFit.

    I haven't tried it yet, but thought I'd chime in :wink:

    I bought it for the first time just last week at Walmart and I'm loving it in my protein shakes!

    I looooove pb2, its definitely helped me with managing my calories. I like it on my lenders cinnamon raisin bagels (lenders are the best, they're smaller and usually average out to around 200-220 calories compared to 280-300) but i'll also use it with carrots, celery, crackers, you name it! it honestly tastes the exact same to me, and I like that I can make it as creamy and thick as I want

    I never heard of it and my first reaction was eww! But I may try it. Is it in a store or do you have to order it?

    Buy it up here in Canada at Popeyes Fitness. I haven't tried the chocolate one that I bought yet, but I love the plain PB2 in my protein shakes with strawberries. Tastes like a pb& j sandwich.

    I tried the regular PB2 for the first time today after my mom gave me one of the sample packets. I was skeptical, to say the least. I love me some peanut butter. I liked the taste, but I definitely needed to adjust the powder/water ratio (unless I grossly underestimated how much powder I started with), cause it was kinda soupy? I will definitely be buying a jar of it (and trying the chocolate asap!). I love dipping apples and celery in peanut butter as a snack... and I bet it'd be great in a smoothie/shake or maybe mixed in with some plain yogurt.

    I love this stuff in my protein shake. Also, I mix it with soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, bit of honey, water, ginger and garlic for an Asian-style dipping sauce. It's great on brown rice with veggies and a little goes a long way.

    I used to mix it with honey.
    Not to be too graphic, but it comes out looking the same as it did when it went in, at least it did for me.

    Cheaper on Amazon. I put it in my morning protein shakes everyday. So far I haven't loved the product when mixed with water, but I am a peanut butter addict.

    I did some research on this a few years ago and found that PB2 is essentially defatted peanuts, which is the same thing as peanut flour. So I looked up peanut flour and found Southern Grace Farms and Byrd Mill, which gives you the most bang for your buck: http://byrdmill.com/product/gourmet-peanut-flour/1-lb-peanut-flour-dark-12/

    Same nutritional info as PB2 but Byrd Mill doesn't have any salt in it. If you reconstitute it rather than add it into a smoothie/protein shake, you probably want to add a sprinkle of salt to get the PB2 flavor. The 12% dark is the way to go for the most peanut flavor. The 24% has more fat FYI. Note the Byrd Mill is ONE POUND bags where PB2 is about 6oz for about the same price.

    Oh AND they have 5 lbs bags!! I buy these to get the most bag for my buck. http://byrdmill.com/product/gourmet-peanut-flour/5-lb-peanut-flour-dark-12/

    I guess as long as you are getting healthy fats from your diet from other foods, it would be OK. I looked at it but..... added salt and sugar and none of the healthy oleic acid left.

    From pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19558671

    Oleic acid was found to be effective in reversing the inhibitory effect in insulin production of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. This finding is consistent with the reported therapeutic characteristics of other monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, a diet high in oleic acid, which can be easily achieved through consumption of peanuts and olive oil, can have a beneficial effect in type II diabetes and ultimately reverse the negative effects of inflammatory cytokines observed in obesity and non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

    I LOVE PB2!!!!! It's fantastic. Our local Target also carries it. I think it's $4.99?
