I see PB2 in a lot of people's diaries. Is it any good? I am a HUGE peanut butter addict so I'm thinking this may be the thing for me!!! How does it work? Add water and then it's peanut butter? ONe more ?... is it sold in regular stores? I'd love to hear how YOU use it! THanks all!

    I found it in my low carb life. I like the chocolate one better but both are good. You mix 2T of the powder with 1T of water and mix. I love it and it doesnt make me go over my goals everyday like regular pb used to.

    I like it ok but really like Better n Peanut Butter (low sodium version) - the PB2 is powder but the Better n PB is more like real PB. You can find it at Trader Joe's or even Target carries it (but not the low sodium version) as well as other natural food stores.

    I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to as well. All you need to add is water and I was able to find it in the "health food" section of my regular grocery store.

    Its pretty good, but I always mix with jelly or in a protein shake. I didn't like it plain when mixed with water. Its a good trade off for the calories & fat though. I get mine from www.netrition.com. Its alot cheaper there than any other place I've seen.

    I use it in my morning Shakeology a lot of times. It also makes a great PB&J in a pinch. If you go to www.bellplantation.com they have a store locator.

    Yea it's probably best in a shake or with someting else. Hows the texture? Better than butter doesn't do it for me unfortunately!

    I like the texture of PB2, it's as fluffy or dense as you want, because you control the amount of water that goes into it.

    I'm a peanut butter junkie and it definitely helps...unfortunately, it's a much more mild peanut butter flavor.

    TOTALLY worth it, though.

    I'm not as fond of it in a sandwich, but it's awesome for eating with veggies/apples and it's a great additive for sauces for stir fry. That said, for a sandwich, I think its better than any faux PB I've tried.

    If you want it a little more like real PB, use a little good oil in it. I add in 1 t. if it's going on bread. Still alot less fat than real PB and I'm picking the fat that's getting added.

    The texture reminds me of that whipped peanut butter that was out a few years ago. Much lighter, airier and not as sticky. It mixes very easily with the water.
