It is amazing! I love peanut butter and could easily use up most of my calories on a couple decadent peanut butter and honey sandwich most days along with a half gallon of milk BUT I found this wonder stuff...what is your favorite way of using PB2?

    Addicted. Peanut butter is my absolute FAVE! I still use almond butter for my fats, but this is another great option for snacks! Ps the chocolate one is to die for!

    Some health food stores sell it, and Whole Foods will special order it for you. If you go to bellplantation.com you can find out if anywhere near you sells it in their stores. Online, I have found it's the cheapest is netrition.com. $3.99 a jar. Amazon is usually almost double that. And Netrition's shipping is a flat $4.95 for your whole order, so I always order a lot at one time so I don't have to order again for a few months. Good luck!

    I can't wait to try this, I just ordered some. I wish I would have read the previous remarks though because I ordered from Amazon and it is pretty pricey.....Hope it's worth it!!!

    I LOVE PB2 both the original and the chocolate! To me it tastes more like pure peanuts and how peanut butter should taste! I can't believe the fat and calorie difference! I also like that it's light weight enough that I can bring it with me anywhere or transfer over it to a very small container and make it on the go.

    I have to buy it online or buy it when I'm in a state that sells it. I wish they would be available in more places.


    Anyway, glad you discovered it and love it as well!

    I just ordered a 1lb bag of it from Amazon for $12. Not a bad deal considering the 6.5 oz jar on Amazon was $7. I think I've seen it in Whole Foods but it was at least $5, maybe $6. I went for the chocolate. I've been having issues eating an entire jar of Better N Peanut Butter chocolate in a few days, so this should help! I can scoop out a serving, mix it up in a cup and have it on my apple without eating right out of the jar.

    I love it mixed with Chocolate protein powder, but any other way I've tried it I think it's pretty gross. Guess I just can't get used to the texture without the fat, but mixed in liquids it's awesome.

    I've been meaning to try this too. My only concerns are the added sugar (i usually eat only unsweetened raw peanut butter) and that it's not organic ( & full of pesticides)

    You know that if you eat toooo much peanut butter it can cause impacted bowels.

    no its powder, but can be mixed with a little water and can make a paste!

    GREAT PB flavor though, so its wonderful in recepies that call for PB...or for shakes!

    I use it in baking. (I rarely eat peanut butter anyway.) I like how it bakes better than regular peanut butter! I order mine online from various sources. Would love to find a local source.

    I'm scarfing down the last of a chocolate PB2 milkshake right now... which is really 1 c. of almond milk, 1 c. of spinach, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 TBSP cocoa, and 2 TBSP PB2 with 1/2 tsp guar gum and a couple ice cubes for thickness... whizzed up. YUM.

    I love this stuff!

    I use it in my chocolate protein shakes. The chocolate PB2 is also delicious.

    I got mine on Amazon.com. Its expensive but I think it was worth it. Mine was a 2 pack. One chocolate PB and one regular PB. I think it was $12.

    I add PB2 to my oatmeal - yum! Great as a dip for apples.

    Because this is a powder - you can store this in the freezer. That way if I order several jars at a time, I don't have to worry about the expiration date (nearly as much).

    Netrition.com allows you to order single jars (Bell Plantation .... is 4 jars I believe).

    2 TBL (powder) is one serving. I use a coffe scoop.

    I just discovered PB2 as well last week! YUMMMMY in my TUMMMY! If anyone reading this is from Canada..... Nutters sells it. The chocoalte pb is better than the regular in my opinion.

    2 tbs of powder to 1 tbs of water is how the directions say to make it.... but i prefer a lil less water to make it more thick. I also have made it with sugar free smuckers strawberry jam instead of water. mmmmmm topped on a rice cake with banana slices.... mmmm simply divine!

    I've been wanting to try it but I think it's a little pricey. On amazon and in a local health food store it was $7 for a jar with 15 2T servings.

    I want to try the chocolate. I went through a jar of Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams pb way too quickly. It would be nice to find something tasty with less calories.
