low cal peanut butter

Does anyone know of a good low cal peanut butter???

The only one I know of is Better'n Peanut Butter. I got the chocolate variety at Whole Foods the other week and have used it on toast and with protein pancakes. It's not as good as chocolatey peanut butter of course....but half the calories so I make do :-) No idea how the actual peanut butter kind is though. I couldn't find it.

I haven't found any that tastes like peanut butter - the low-cal to me takes like lard :grumble: ... but Kroger puts out a low sodium / fat reduced that is okay. :flowerforyou: I'm a peanut butter lover so the make believe stuff doesn't fly with me ... maybe someone has found something better.

Better'n Peanut butter is great, I use the chocolate on on fruit or on a ricecake as a snack.

Bell Plantation's PB2 is a powdered peanut butter, really low in calories and fat. you're supposed to mix it with water to get peanut butter but I'm not a fan of it that way, I prefer to use it as a mix in. Its fantastic in smoothies, oatmeal & yogurt.

Lol...that's what I want to know, but their balsamic vinagrette is pretty good...I don't know about a 0 cal PB substitute-think you are better off using the real thing or reduced fat skippy

Walden Farms also makes zero calorie pancake syrup, marshmallow fluff, and chocolate dip along with a lot of other zero cal stuff. I haven't tasted any of it, I just saw it at the health store.

The ingredients for the Walden Farms Peanut Spread (it's not called peanut butter) are:
triple filtered purified water, cellulose gum, salt, corn starch, xanthan gum, natural fresh roasted peanut flavoring, natural peanut extract, peanut flour, caramel color, lactic acid, sucralose (splenda), sodium benzoate

So, yeah. not sure what it actually contains. LOL http://www.waldenfarms.com/nutrition_facts.html#

Peter Pan whipped is the lowest calorie PB that still tastes good to me. 150 calories rather than 190 calories in the regular.

Walden Farms is frankenfood...I feel like if I ate a piece of wood or a handful of dirt it would have calories. Anything that says it has zero calories is something I would never ever try...chemicals galore is what comes to mind when I think of Walden Farms!

I have heard about powdered peanut butter that's supposed to be good, p2b or pb2 something like that. Look into that!

It has to taste like crap to have zero calories...thats cool if you like eating wood chips...near the same thing

pb2 by Bell Plantation: i like it mixed into smoothies or yogurt or oatmeal rather than mixed with water to make peanut butter like it calls for. A friend of mine mixes it with honey or maple syrup and loves it that way. Its pretty good

i have tried the walden's it does have a light peanut taste. the biggest problem is the texture. the only comparison i could make is that it is like lightly peanut flavored whipped cream. (blah!!!)

i do think pb2 is a good peanut butter choice. to me it tastes like peanut butter made with dry roasted peanuts. yes, it is powdered. you measure 2 tbs & mix with 1 tbs. water. it is only 53 calories for 2 tbs (as opposed to 190 calories in regular peanut butter) that is a trade off that i'm willing to take. they also make a choc. variety, same calories (for those needing their nutella).

i have a friend who has blood sugar issues & really needs protein to start her day. she is heading to europe next week. this same trip last year, there were a few days with only bread stuff for breakfast. she's taking a jar, so she can have some instant protein when she travels. & i plan to use it this week for thai peanut sauce- looking forward to fewer calories in that, too!!
