    I bought PB2 because I love peanut butter in my oatmeal, but didn't want all the extra calories. :-)
    :glasses: Just saw something yesterday about this "PB2" so this post caught my eye. Was only curious until I read this^^^ I :heart: peanut butter and adding this to my oatmeal sounds Yum Yum.

    Try mixing with Greek yogurt and a bit of honey. Awesome fruit dip

    Well....you asked.....



    I would throw it in the garbage.

    How do you take a wonderful food like peanuts and take out all the good parts and then make it into some bionic powder?

    And, more to the point, WHY?????????

    Peanut butter is nutritious and delicious and full of minerals your body can use. What IS powdered, low fat, low cal peanut stuff?

    WHY??? do you care what anyone else eats? Mellow out. I think everyone knows that peanut butter is yummy and good for you, but obviously it is very high in fat and calories. PB2 is a good option for people trying to lose weight.

    For the OP, check out Bell Plantation's site for lots of recipes:

    <<< Lost 87 lbs eating Jif natural creamy peanut butter on a regular basis. Peanut butter has lots of healthy fats that the body needs to regulate hormones. When you cut too much fat out of your diet, you risk causing yourself some problems in the long term. Trust me, I know, I've had the grehlin-induced binges where I could not be satisfied.

    PB2 is an option. Just because it is less calories and fat doesn't mean that it's a good option.

    Damn, people are uptight. :noway:

    Just because someone buys PB2 doesn't mean they are never in their entire lives ever going to eat peanut butter again. How about, it's an option for other things. As an example, in our smoothies, since it's less of a mess and even less calories but you're getting the taste you want.

    I, too, eat Peanut Butter every day. I love it. Probably would die without it. BUT, I like PB2 for other things.

    Geezus people.

    Well you may call us uptight but the fact of the matter is that PB2 doesn't taste good.

    Furthermore (and more importantly) it upsets Mr. Peanut.

    And this is what happened last time Mr. Peanut got upset.

    Hey Cr,

    Can you get it in the UK or did you taste it in the states?

    It's still made out of peanuts, it's just made a different way.

    I look at it suspiciously on the shelf.

    I was looking for almond butter a few weeks back and saw it, and I too looked at it suspiciously. Today, I went for more almond butter and thought I would give it a chance as I had seen a lot of talk about it.


    Holy hell! I love it! I mixed it up and added some honey, then dipped apples in it! AWESOME!!!!

    Can't wait to get home to let my wife try it.
