So, I just came across the PB2 Peanut Butter Powder
http://www.bellplantation.com/products/4-pack-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter.html

Have any of you guys tried it ? Its only 45 cal /2tbsp , as opposed to the regular 180 cal / 2tbsp of regular peanut butter !

Yay or Nay ?

    I love PB2! Then again I'm obsessed with peanutbutter. I think it lacks all the good stuff in real peanutbutter. I do use it for my fix, on a banana for a low calorie treat.

    I love it for the flavor of peanut butter mixed in a protein shake, or gluten free oatmeal, on a banana but never tried it plain. I love it, great to add extra protein in your diet.

    I absolutely love PB, but I don't eat it as much because it of the calories and really nothing nutritional for my needs right now.

    Finally found PB2 last week, definitely not perfect, but very awesome for I thought it was going to be.

    I LOVE peanut butter and put it in my oatmeal in the morning. I don't think I want to try anything artificial, but it sounds like many of you like it.

    I really like it sprinkled on apple slices. Its not artificial...just powdered peanut with a little salt/sugar added.

    LOVE PB2! I have the chocolate version and it's awesome. And actually it's not artificially flavored...it's really just peanuts with most of the fat taken out of it. I also eat healthy fat like almond butter, but when I want some more flavor in my protein shakes without extra fat or calories, PB2 does the job. I agree with the guy earlier who said it's not great for using as actual PB though (sandwiches, etc).

    Give it a try! Why not?

    PB2 is yah!!! There's also one at Trader Joes Called Not quite Peanut Butter that you refrigerate that is good. More calories and a little sweeter than real pb but much better for you.

    It's fantastic. It can also be found as what it really is, "partially defatted peanut flour".

    If you're cool with added sugar and salt, go for it. The stuff's like crack.

    But if you're willing to buy plain old defatted peanut flour, it's the same thing with nothing added. You'll pay MUCH less and you can add your own sweetness if you so desire.

    Just look for peanut flour if you're interested. :)

    Does anyone have a good protein shake recipe to use with PB2? I'de love to start using it. I made a protein shake today trying to mimic a mocha frappucino and it was NOT good. Would really like something that actually tastes good. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I bought some and it's pretty good in smoothies and that sort of thing, but I kind of don't see the point honestly. You have to use a lot (in my opinion) and I'd rather just have like 1/2 Tbsp of natural peanut butter in anything that I'd use 2+ Tbsp of PB2 for. Also I don't think the chocolate PB2 has any hint of chocolate flavor. JMHO.

    There's also this beast called Better'n Peanut Butter that is the same idea--de-fatted peanuts-- only in butter form. 100 calories for 2TB. I'm not a huge protein shake girl, so I like this product as I want a good ol' PBJ every once in a while.

    I like adding it to recipes like smoothies but I did try mixing it together with water and making "peanut butter" and I thought it was disgusting that way.

    The thought of a powdered PB skeeves me out.

    Give me the real stuff calories and all any day.

    I love it! I haven't made a sandwich with it yet, but this morning I mixed some up and ate it with a banana cut into pieces. SO good! The chocolate kind tastes like if you were to mix pb and nutella. Very good!

    I LOVE PB2! I like to mix the chocolate PB2 with plain greek yogurt and then add a banana. So freaking good.

    I finally tried it last week......I was surprised that it was actually good. I'd heard about it, thought it would be terrible, and it was decent.

    ^^This!^^

    To re-constitute it you add water .....water + toast, water + crackers .....blech!

    Really good in oatmeal, added to pancake batter, stirred into vanilla greek yogurt, etc.
