What is this PB2 stuff? I read that it is powdered peanuts with barely any fat. You put them in water to make the peanut butter. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? I LOVE peanut butter and I find myself adding a lot of extra calories from it (WORTH IT). I am curious!

    It's a little bit of heaven trapped in a bottle! Try it, you'll love it.

    It's not the same consistency as peanutbutter (since it's a powder and you can add water to it or add it to protein shakes, etc.) but for the calories and fat you are saving, amazing!

    I bought some, its ok to add to shakes, pancakes, baked goods ect taste like pb...obv it does not compare when eating it on toast or a sandwich you can tell something is off taste is a little weird! but I still use it you get used to it!

    The only way that I have used it so far is in smoothies, and I love it! Haven't tried reconstituting it and using it as a spread.

    Comes in chocolate too... Great with banana. Texture is off but it is tasty and treatish.

    I stir a tablespoon into my morning oatmeal. Makes it super creamy (might need a little extra water) and adds protein, plus it tastes great.

    where would someone buy this at? I love peanut butter but don't use it very often, due to calories.

    LOVE IT...put it in chocolate protien powder, use it for peanut sauce, makes good dip for fruits and veggies...probably wouldn't bother trying to make a sandwich w it though...

    I LOVE it in my protein shakes. I don't really like it that much on celery or anything else I'd use natural peanut butter on just because it's a different texture. But I have eaten it with other things just didn't love it as much. I use PB2 chocolate peanut butter in a protein shake almost every day it's delicious.

    You can get it from Bell Plantation's website and I even saw the regular PB2 at a grocery store recently (Shoprite).

    Amazon, or directly from the website...I guess they carry it at Woodman's too, but I'm not sure if that is a national chain.

    Website..... http://www.bellplantation.com/ Buy the bulk pack. Trust me. You can also buy it on Amazon. Again, it's not like "real" peanut butter but for the calories, I find it to be a remarkably good substitute. You can also mix it in smoothies!

    I love it! Use it all the time. Both powder and mixed with water. Great alternative.

    I bought it and didn't use it very much. When it was finished, i bought peanut butter flavored protein powder instead. More bang for the buck.

    my local grocery store actually started selling it... Giant. I love it to dip bananas or apples in or put in shakes... I tried mixing it with the water to make a pb and J sandwich but not exactly the same, not bad though. I also read that you can add oil to make it creamier, but I guess that defeats the purpose!
