    Yes

    I like the Chocolate one better. It says chocolate, but to me, it tastes more like 'real' pb to me. I can eat the Choc. one on a spoon, whereas the regular one I only use in recipes and things.

    It makes GREAT protein shakes :)

    Yep! I love it. The plain peanut one doesn't taste like normal peanut butter. It's too salty.. It does work if I'm having a PB craving and no extra calories, though. I haven't tried the chocolate one yet, but I'm going to! I definitely think it's worth it to purchase them. They're way expensive on the website, so I order mine from eBay. If you do that, make sure you get it from a top-rated seller. (:

    it's good -- but definitely order from ebay or amazon for a better deal!

    Yum yum yum!! I use it in my smoothies all the time! The chocolate variety is definitely better. I get mine from netrition.com, very reasonable pricing there.

    Ok, I don't quite understand where they put the calories and the oil? I eat all natural peanut butter -- ingredients: Peanuts....that is it, no sugar, no cocoa, no salt, yet it has 200 calories for 2 Tbsps.

    This PB2, contains all of the above, yet it only supposedly has 45 calories for 2 Tbsps? What did they do with the calories from the peanuts, let alone the calories from the cocoa and the sugar?

    they press out the oil, which is where most of the fat comes from. It comes in powder form and you add water.

    Just get peanut flour - plenty of sources if you google it. Protein Plus is the one I have and it has no sugar/salt added. I mix it with a little water when on the road and traveling and I don't have a fridge to store natural PB. Or I use it in smoothies. It's great! (and WAY cheaper than PB2!)
