I was wondering about the PB2 I have been seeing recently. I hear that it is super low on calories and tastes the same as regular peanut butter. I was wondering if anyone had tried this yet, and what their take is on it.

In my own opinion it does not even come close whatsoever, but I also grind my own peanut butter in our VitaMix Blender so to me nothing beats the real thing.... but to each their own..... Best of Luck....0

bump, I got some on my last trip to the store but haven't tried it yet...keep forgetting about it :laugh:0

I got something called Betty Lou's Just Great Stuff Peanut Butter and I think it tastes very similar to real peanut butter.0

I like to add it to smoothies with banana. Gives it some extra flavor without the calories of regular pb. Not sure I would mix it with water as a substitute though. This reminds me that I was going to try to make a peanut sauce with it. Going to have to do that this week with some chicken.0

It's not as good as real peanut butter, but it is tasty. I use both the regular and chocolate flavor to flavor my oatmeal. I think that's where it shines - as a flavoring, rather than as the 'star'. For that you'd want proper peanut butter and just work it into your calories.0

I have used it in stir fry for a peanut sauce flavor. It is great.0

It's great for using in things you want to add peanut butter flavor to. Specifically protein shakes or smoothies. I do not recommend mixing it just to use as peanut butter on a sandwich or something. Not so good for that.0

Not a big fan of using it as Peanut butter replacement when mixed with water. Definitely use in smoothies to add flavor without the addition of the calories in regular PB.0

I love dipping my celery or apples in it:) It is also great in protein shakes...
Doesn't exactly taste the same. Nice thing is you can mix it to the consistency of your preference:)0 -
I just bought my first jar of it and I love it! I mainly use it mixed with yogurt or in protein smoothies, but I did make an African peanut soup recipe without, and that was good, too.0

I'm going against the grain here. I like it a lot. I add a bit more water than it calls for but think its really tasty.0

It's very good as a "breading" for fish or chicken. Spray meat with coconut oil spray, then roll in the PB powder with some ginger and salt/pepper, then broil. Comes out really quite tasty. PB taste isn't strong enough to overpower, but is a nice flavor and a great substitute for flour.0

I haven't used it mixed with water. I used low-fat jelly. Just mix the PB2 in it, and it is a WONDERFUL PB&J sandwich. And smoothies!!
Even the kids enjoy it.0 -

That sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try that!
I've only used PB2 in a PB/banana smoothie (perfect PB flavor with lower cals) and oatmeal- flavor was good, but I'm used to crunchy PB texture so PB2 didn't cut it for me there.0 -

^^ This exactly. Great for getting extra protein in, but definitely not worth it as a peanut butter spread. Spend the calories and eat the real stuff for that :-)0 -
I mix it in plain greek 2% yogurt, with some honey, and chocolate chips. Reese's peanut butter cup yogurt! Oh yeah.........0
-
It is a bit less sweet than like Jif, but if you eat it on fruit or a sandwich with sweet jelly it's not terribly noticeable. I love it =] people will argue that it takes out most of the peanuts' nutrients but if you're just satisfying a craving you can get your nutrients elsewhere.0

I agree. But when you mix in into smoothies, use a really good blender or you will just have powdery chunks of PB yuck.0
