I bought some PB2 because everyone raves about it but now I don't know what to do with it! Anyone have any good recipes to share for smoothies, treats, or anything really using PB2 and/or PB2 with chocolate?

    I use PB2 in my morning oatmeal .... with a splash of maple syrup

    PB2 mixed with water ... makes a great dip for granny smith apples.



    .... looking for new ideas too

    Sounds good! I would love to make a smoothie with it that also includes kale, spinach etc. but definitely need a tried and true recipe before I would be brave enough to try. :)

    I use it with my vanilla protein mix in my smoothies. Yummy! I've also used it with bananas in my smoothie, too. That's all I've used it for though. But I LOVE it!!!

    I use in in Oatmeal with a banana, YUM, I make milkshakes with it, I have used it to mix with Yogurt. I have mixed with water to dip celery.

    I would say my fav is my oatmeal or milkshake with Blue bell (no sugar added vanilla) and unsweetend almond milk- That is as good as any milkshake EVER.

    BUMP!

    I have 4 jars and really am not fond of the stuff at all. Certainly tastes nothing like peanut butter. One thing I have done is mixed some with water and used it on noodles for a peanut sauce. That was 'OK'

    I kind of agree. Mixed with water it's disgusting.. nothing similar to peanut butter (and I LOVE peanut butter)
    Sprinkled in my protein shake though it's really tasty. :)

    I discovered if I mix mine with almond milk it tastes MUCH better than mixed with water. Almond milk is pretty low calorie, and you only use a tiny bit, so the fat and calorie content is still way lower than regular full fat peanut butter!

    I mix it with Fage Plain yogurt, and a little sweetner and make a dip for granny smith apples. Sometimes i just cut up the apples and mix it all together instead of dipping. great afternoon snack.

    I have a yonanas machine (frozen banana icecream) and I mix it into that for dessert just about every day, it's my absolute favourite thing. Sometimes for an added treat I mix in chocolate chips. Mmm salivating just thinking about it..

    Yes, completely agree, so nice and creamy with almond milk!

    I mix it w/ fat free ricotta cheese. It's like really thick peanut butter pudding.

    I mix some in with my Greek yogurt, I put it some of my protein shakes along with frozen strawberries and other frozen berries. I've put it in instant oatmeal as well.

    I made PB2 and chocolate chip yogurt pancakes for breakfast the other morning. I basically used the pancake recipe off a chobani vanilla yogurt container, and added a few tablespoons of PB2 and mini chocolate chips.

    I've made fruit smoothies for the kids using PB2. Coconut/Almond milk, banana, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries and PB2.

    I just recently started using PB2. I really enjoy it mixed with water and used as a dip. I've also added it to plain homemade yogurt and to fruit smoothies with plain protein powder.

    Once, because I was in a rush I used 2 Tablespoons of PB2 with 1 scoop of plain, un-flavored, protein powder mixed with about 8 ouces of water. That I do not recommend!

    Check out Bell Plantation's website. There's a whole recipes section.

    Seriously. As ridiculous as it might sound it's so true.

    I just made some yummy 100-calorie chocolate almond oatmeal balls by mixing together oats, almond butter, chopped dark chocolate, whey protein powder, and enough water to hold it all together. I've never had PB2 but I imagine you could substitute it for the almond butter (with more water).

    Honestly, tastes pretty good to me on a spoon! Or on a banana. Or as a do-it-yourself peanut butter cup with 2 squares of dark chocolate.
    I frequently use the chocolate PB2 mixed with plain non-fat greek yogurt - seriously yummy!

    I love it mixed with yogurt, mixed with almond milk on noodles (yum!!), or just mixed up and eaten with a spoon.
