Is it worth it?

I've been hearing a lot about PB2. I see I can get a pound of it for $8.62 online. I'm worried it won't be creamy enough to be good all by itself or in a PB&J sandwich. What do you think?

    EEEEEW! I actually had to Google it because I had no idea what it was.

    Just get regular all natural PB. Sure it has fat in it but it's NOT bad for you. Honestly for me if I were told that I had to either give up PB or die I'd die.

    That's how much I love the stuff.

    I eat the Just Great Stuff brand of powdered peanut butter and LOVE it. It's the best thing since, well, peanut butter, lol. Really, it's definitely a great way to eat your peanut butter if you're watching calories. And you can sprinkle it on ice cream, mix in pudding, etc.

    It's okay as a PB replacement, but it's really good for flavoring other things.

    I do like PB2, but I don't think I'd like it on a sandwich. I do like it mixed in with plain Greek yogurt, and a little splenda, or in oatmeal. If I was going to have a sandwich, I'd have the real stuff.

    I'd rather have the fatty stuff, but if you must have the flavour of peanut butter and little fat then I guess it is 'worth it'.

    I mix it up and eat it on toast, but have never mixed it with jelly....

    Try Nutrition.com to order it, best price I found...
