I've heard about this PB2 for a couple of years now. I just bought it. NOW WHAT??!!! :)
What can I, what do i do with it? How does it taste? I normally put a little Natural Peanut Butter
on a graham cracker, will it taste about the same??!!!

    Personally for me it will never replace all natural peanut butter.... I have used PB2 in my protein shake but that has been about it for me.....

    Stir a tablespoon into some nonfat greek yogurt along with some fresh strawberries – PB&J yogurt!

    I use it for my shakes in the morning, to dip my apples in, on toast, anything. I love it!

    More like what CAN'T you do with PB2....

    I bake with it all the time. Stir it in oatmeal. Mix it into cream to put on toast, english muffins, etc. Sprinkle it on popcorn. Etc.

    All GREAT ideas. I am sooooo excited that I finally am giving it a try. Graham crackers with Natural Peanut Butter is 'my snack'. I eat a full cracker with some on it two, some times three times per day! With peanut butter at 100 calories for ONE tablespoon, I actually measure out about a quarter of a TB each time. Tooooo many caories to radomly smear it on!!! I've cut my husband back when he has PBJ sandwiches, I bet I was using 4 TB per sandwich, and jelly on top of that....and two slices of bread. That is high calorie for a sandwich!!! I will not use this for his sandwiches, but he takes Green yogurt, non fat, plain....to work every day. He'd like this with a banana in it, I am sure of it.

    Thanks y'all!!! :bigsmile:

    I freeze a banana. Mix 2 tbsp of PB2 with 1 tbsp of water. Put it all in a blender. BAM
    Or I use the above PB2 mixture and dip pretzel sticks in it.

    My favorite way to use it is in a bowl of oatmeal (usually steel cut). It's also tasty in protein smoothies made with banana and milk. I also like to use it in some baked goods (adds protein and a nice flavor). Personally I can't stand it in Greek yogurt :( The flavors of the tangy yogurt and savory peanut butter just don't mix well to me.

    And for a truly decadent snack, if I have the fats left for the day, I'll mix one tablespoon of natural peanut butter, one tablespoon of PB2, and one teaspoon of honey. Stir them together and then form a ball. It's like eating the inside of a Reese's peanut butter cup.
