    I've been meaning to order PB2 from Amazon...will have to set a reminder.
    My fave brand is Jiff. I add 1 Tbsp to Herbalife shakes (1 scoop choco protein, 1 scoop dutch choco formula 1, ice and 1c. H2O) and it tastes really good. Otherwise, I will eat it on a banana, toast or english muffin, pb&j, on crackers, or on a spoon.
    It may be one of my favorite things! Lol...

    Do I just search PB2 on Amazon? What is this brand?


    I live within strict calories but love pb. I don't eat it everyday but probably once a week I can manage to get away with it.

    I spread 1tbsp on a slice of 100% whole wheat bread, or put it in with my protein shake. :)

    I made up a pretty decent asian-themed dish last night and used natural peanut butter (i.e. just peanuts and salt on the ingredient label) .

    I sprayed a large skillet with Pam and then threw in some garlic and ginger... then threw in a bag of broccoli slaw and 1/2 a shredded savoy cabbage. Added a tablespoon of Mirin to help steam/saute it up.

    In another skillet sprayed with Pam, I cooked up 1 lb of ground chicken and added a tablespoon of Sesame oil, once the chicken was almost done cooking. Then I added 2 T of the natural peanut butter to the chicken and let it melt down to create a sauce with the sesame oil over the chicken. Then I combined it with the "slaw".

    4 very decent size servings came to 320 calories each. I splurged with 4 wonton cups (bake wontons in a muffin tin til they are golden) and filled then with the mix. 400 calories with those included into the calorie count.

    PB2 and Chocolate PB2 are AMAZING! I will not switch back to regular peanut butter. You can eat 2 tbsp of powder, which is about 1 tbsp after being mixed with water and covers a whole english muffin, for only 45 calories..and it's DELICIOUS!!! I buy mine off Amazon..it's a lot cheaper than in a natural foods store. DEFINITELY check it out. You can cook with it, put it in protein shakes, put it on toast, etc...so yummy!!

    I use organic PB now (whole grain toast or waffle with 1 Tbs PB and banana slices....yumminess!) but there is a brand called Better N' Butter which is a lot lower in calories and can be found at many grocery stores (Trader Joe's, Stop and Shop and Shop Rite all carry it in my area). It doesn't have a long list of crappy ingredients either so not a bad choice if you want more than 1-2 Tbs a day. :-)

    PB on toasted raisin bread is my after-dinner-snack and I look forward to it all day!

    Thing is if I go over somewhere throughout the day I cut this snack. Lately it has been the first thing I log each day so I can work the rest of my cals around it.

    LOVE my PB!

    I'll do my peanut butter with a sliced apple. It lasts longer, I'm adding in some good fiber from the apple as well and it takes forever to eat it it seems.

    If you need it that bad, why not just run an extra few miles and then get down on it later on?

    I will just order from Amazon next time I am ordering other things, so I'll get free shipping.

    I haven't seen it in stores, but I may check Whole Foods, Central Market, Sprouts, or Vitamin Shoppe just in case they carry it.

    >>
    1) Open mouth
    2) Put peanut butter in mouth
    3) Close mouth
    4) Savour <<
    DUH! :wink:
    Also, to OP who's got the "Jif in the house...", that's full of sugar if that's your thing. Get a natural peanut butter where the ingredients are peanuts and salt or peanuts and oil. I'd stay away from hydrogenated stuffs.

    I've had to slow down my exercise regimen due to some ED issues.

    Ahhh, okay.


    Yes, I agree that the organic stuff is a much better option.
