Peanut Butter vs. PB2

Firefox7275

I am not a fan of PB2, however, it is lower in calories. Keep in mind that all of the oil is pressed out and sugar is added, so therefore you are missing the most valuable benefits! Choosing natural peanut butter would be of importance and far more beneficial! Plus, there is always a way to work it into you daily calorie goals, trust me...I would know!

All the oil is not pressed out, PB2 is the 12% fat flour and it's not much sugar added bearing in mind natural peanuts contain some sugar anyway.There is also plain peanut flour on the market at various fat percentages, just as there are natural peanut butters - this can be used to replace regular floiur in some baking recipes which peanut butter obviously cannot.

I do not like PB2. It tastes like peanut butter flavored dirt. I will make room for real PB calories- I stick to the natural ones- I don't mind the saturated fat from palm oil that most of the no-stir naturals have, but I do try to stay away from the traditional ones with hydrogenated oils.

their site is not 100% accurate, i have seen it at a shoprite about 5 minutes from me but it is not listed on their locations. best thing to do would check out the organics in grocery stores and hit up some health food stores too. if not then purchase it online, if you like it you can buy in bulk off the internet

Surely natural peanut butter contains nothing more than peanuts? Why is salt acceptable and molasses or sugar not? I wouldn't eat hydrogenated fats mind.

i love betty lou's "just great stuff" powdered peanut butter. I put it in my chia pudding and smoothies. I was never a big "let me eat peanut butter" the dehydrated powdered pb works great for me!

i get that at wegmans.

Try Amazon. They have PB2 and another peanut flour that I end up using instead, it's cheaper.

I like PB2. It's great for protein shakes and smoothies and it's also great on top of NSA ice cream. I prefer almond butter to peanut butter, otherwise, though.
