    Meh. The recommended serving size is is 2TBL but it seems really grainy to me when I use it in my smoothies. If I use just 1 T and it's ok.

    the chocolate one is ok, i personally dont care for PB2 and would rather fit real peanut butter in my macros. when im at the end of a cut, and hunger is killing me i'll switch to PB2 so i can eat more food.

    I love love love it. I even stock up on it. For every opened one I have, I have two backups in the pantry.
    I don't really eat pbj sandwhiches so I don't know how the texture of it is as spreadable butter.
    I use it as a peanut butter flavor in my peanut butter banana smoothies and peanut butter banana oatmeal.

    So any place where I crave the taste of peanut butter.. it's there.

    The rap on PB2 is that it is processed and is "not real", but I'll admit I've never had it.

    I buy peanut flour from Byrd Mill---I just bought a new five pound bag because they had it on sale for 15% off. They sell several different varieties with different levels of roast. The dark flour has the least fat, but is kind of bitter. I put a scoop in my banana smoothies with a tablespoon of agave or a handful of dates to sweeten them. I just bought the light roast peanut flour but haven't tried it yet.

    I also mix 1/4 cup of it with some water or soy milk and some stevia to make my own peanut butter. Sometimes I make it loose enough to dip apple slices or crackers. Byrd Mill has some recipes that sound great on their website that I plan to try at some point (peanut butter pancakes).

    I used to make peanut butter at home in my food processor but that really is my kryptonite due to the calorie content, so I can't have it in the house. It would be my choice of last meal on death row.....

    I absolutely LOVE PB2. I have both, but the regular is my favorite. I use it like I would any other peanut butter: on toast, as a dip for granny smith apples, etc. It's not as thick and creamy as regular peanut butter, but it's a lot lower in calories and has a great taste. You should try it!

    Try mixing it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of water. Delicious!

    Has anyone tried mixing it in with cottage cheese?

    I guess I'd like to try it. Trying to figure out the best place to order it from. No local dealers here!

    I don't know where you live but I'm in North Carolina and our Wal-marts here now carry it. Hope this might help. :smile:

    I mix PB2 with 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Nice amount of protein and tastes great as well! :smile:

    I like it and add a bit of cayenne pepper to PB2 to make it spicy. The chocolate PB2 is good when I want a sweet treat too :)
