What do those of you who have used it think? Is it any good? Taste like peanut butter or not really? I was thinking of getting it for shakes and such. I'm having major PB cravings but don't really want to buy a jar of the regular stuff b/c I know I would have little self-control. Thanks!

    I use PB2 in vanilla yogert for a fruit sip. I also mix it with a little water and drizzle over apples. I also put it in my protein sakes. When I really need an ice cream fix I will add it to frozen vanilla yogert. I like peanut butter but have no self control. I have tried almond butter but I didn't like it. Others will disagree and like it. I'd try it and see what you think.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! Mix it with water and it tastes JUST like regular PB. I put in my shakes because it mixes SOO well! I have a smile on my face just thinking about it! Have a case at home, at all times. You will find you go thru it much faster than regular peanut butter because it IS powder. Good luck! I have a link to it thru my blog -- www.thefitcounselor.com

    yummm... I use both and I love them!

    I still eat Peanut Butter, but I use this when I'm tight on calories and still want the taste. I mix with water and I swear, there is little difference in taste between it and the real thing...

    Its tastes like natural PB but is 3x the price :( Since I find it hard getting enough fat, I have to intentionally buy the regular stuff so that I can have 1 tbsp daily in my smoothie.

    Absolutely love it!!! Drizzled on apples, scoop it w my celery, put it in my protein shakes.. My kids are in love with it as well. We no longer keep "regular" peanut butter in our household..

    It tastes ok enough to satisfy a peanut butter craving when eaten with something else, but I would prefer to save up some cals and eat the real thing instead. However - I love it to add peanut butter taste to things, and am going to start throwing it in my protein shakes.

    I add splenda to it b/c I need it sweeter and sometimes I add cinnamon to it. Love it!! It really does help with the PB craving!

    I have some on order and can't wait to add it to my green smoothies in the morning. I've been getting hungry after my smoothie and thought this would be a good way to cut back calories in that so I can eat a more solid snack a little later.

    I LOVE it, hands down the best "fake" peanut butter product I've ever used!!

    So it sounds like the regular is a winner, how about the chocolate? It's sold either 4 jars of regular or you can get 2 reg and 2 chocolate. Trying to decide which way to go. Thanks for all the feedback on this! :)

    I have both on hand but always use the regular. Not a big fan of the Choc one. Locally we have to have it ordered in so we can buy it separate ($4.50 per jar) I personally would go with the 4 regular.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chocolate one! I eat it with a mashed up 1/2 banana as my dessert. Amazingly good for such low calories! I can eat it by itself too haha

    Honestly, just buy PB2 and add some cocoa powder to it when you mix it.
    Better than buying it pre-made.

    But PB2 is AMAZING. I can't talk enough about this product. And I'm a peanut butter queen.

    I enjoy PB2 but I haven't tried the chocolate one yet. I add PB2 to greek yogurt for flavor and extra protein boost. I normally put regular pb in my protein shakes but if I can't spare the calories I'll use the powdered stuff. I think it tastes great.
