    Never tried it... but I recently switched to PB2 and I love it. It's really easy to mix to a good consistency for spreading, also great in smoothies!

    I find it is ok - tastes 75% like peanut butter for 40% of the calories, and that's good for me. :) I do like PB2 better. Plus you can get it in chocolate flavor, and the powder is SUPER convenient. I keep a bag at work for when I need a snack - on an apple, banana, bread, or just plain. Plus, you can order it on amazon.

    I've never tried it but I'm sure it's fairly tasty. The only significant difference I see is the fat content. They use defatted peanut flour to drop the fat content a bit. Keep in mind that fat is not the enemy of dieters and in fact you require the typical omega 3,6 & 9 to be a healthy, happy complete, balanced, go-lucky person. My question would be; unless you're planning on eating quite a bit of peanut butter on a day to day basis and are hoping to drop total calories despite this, why not just eat the typical no sugar added natural peanut butter?

    It seems that you're focused on a mere pixel rather than the larger picture.

    Some of us do eat a large quantity of peanut butter on a daily basis - don't judge!

    It's still 100 calories for 2 TBSP! Not sure if I would risk it if it tastes as bad as folks are replying!!!

    I would stop searching. Nothing is better than peanut butter.
    Agreed!

    I actually don't think it tastes bad, but it doesn't really qualify as a substitute for peanut butter. It tastes more like candy. Not worth the cost IMO.

    lol, I didn't realize that people were still posting on this thread! I am still using regular peanut butter and haven't made any switch. I actually haven't been craving it as often. Thanks everyone for your opinions!

    Almond butter is also yummy if you want something different, it's roughly the same calorie wise but I like the almond flavor.
