I just got one package of each and I'm still experimenting to see what I like (and don't) and how I like it best. What do you think about it? Is there anything good you're missing out of the regular peanut butter that you aren't getting from PB2 that you think is worth it?

    I have a thing for Jif Creamy. That's why I thought I'd try this stuff and see what I thought. It doesn't replace it for me, but I think it is a lower calorie alternative for those days packing a "real" lunch would take too long!

    I love them! ...but I also hate regular peanut butter. Jiffy? GROSS. Skippy? Nope, no thanks. I've even tried the all natural peanut butter, and almond butter. I just don't like it.

    I love love love real PB....but I like PB2 if I want to save some calories. It's nowhere near as good as the real thing, but nice to have around.

    Love it. I flavor my oatmeal with regular PB2, and I use chocolate PB2 as a snack on crackers.

    Yeah, I definitely prefer real fresh ground peanut butter, but do keep both PB2 and chocolate PB2 around. I use the the PB's in smoothies, oatmeal, mixed into Greek Yogurt and the PB2 for making an Asian style peanut sauce. I'll use regular peanut butter on rice cakes, toast, etc.

    I mix each one with protein drinks so I only have to buy the vanilla flavor of my drink. It's like like getting 3 flavors in one package. I add ice and it makes a smoothie too.

    Love having my PB2 and PB2 Chocolate especially for recipes, protein shakes, fruit dip and even a sandwich. But occasionally I still just want a good ole Jim Creamy sandwich.

    It doesn't replace regular PB for me but I do like it in oatmeal or shakes and some baking. It saves calories.

    It is nice to have around, not as good as the real thing. it is great in shakes or in a lowfat peanut butter pie that I make. Amazing!

    I ussually buy the low sodium Better 'N Peanut Butter. LOVE it.

    I prefer the real thing, but have used regular PB2 in both smoothies (great with vanilla whey and spinach) and in a delicious skinny peanut butter pie (see Skinny Taste)

    I've never tried PB2. I'm perfectly happy with any peanut butter containing nothing but peanuts and salt. Personally, I think the higher fat & calories in peanut butter are a GOOD thing because it keeps me from eating it more often than I should if I want to stick to my macros.

    Not a big fan of peanut butter (even before I started watching what I ate). I bought PB2 cuz it looked interesting. Sat in cupboard for longest time and now that I am eating more tofu, I use it for my peanut sauce on tofu and veggies. Love it! Going to have to find some more soon as the company is behind the demand.

    Have used it in smoothies too.

    As I said I don't eat peanut butter sandwiches but probably wouldn't use it as its kinda chore to mix up. But for what I use it for its awesome. Love the taste!
