Hi Guys,

I love peanut butter and just read about something called Peanut butter 2, Apparently it is peanut butter that has gone through the process of having 85% fat squeezed out then dehydrated so it comes in a powder form.

I would really love to try this as i can add it to my smooties, skinny banana bread etc.

What did you think??

    It's peanut flour reconstituted, not something I would use as a replacement on my crumpets.:bigsmile:

    I've tried the chocolate PB2. It's probably different than you'd expect, not as thick as peanut butter and definitely more bitter, but I absolutely love it on celery. I'm waiting for it to go on sale again and I'm going to stock up.

    I eat regular Skippy creamy PB in moderation. Don't care not giving it up. I would rather die.

    I've been using it in shakes and my homemade granola bars. It works fine for that. I can't imagine it on a sandwich, though. Or (my favorite) used as a dip for apples.

    I use it to bake with to give an extra bit of peanut butter flavor but that's about it, once my jar is gone I won't be buying more

    I use it to make smoothies and they are delicious. I put in pb2, flax seed, raw honey, and almond milk.

    I love it. I use both the original and the one with chocolate (same calories) in smoothies. I think it would go excellent in baked goods.

    I use it with my waffles and honey. I actually really like it as long as you don't expect the full creaminess of the full fat stuff. I also mix it with some cool whip free and eat it with some sliced apples or bananas for a nice dipping sauce.

    I just bought a 2 pack (1lb chocolate pb2 and 1 lb regular) for about $16 on Amazon. My favorite way to use it is stirred into vanilla or plan Greek yogurt. Yum! I love peanut butter and this does a good job of satisfying my craving if I don't have a lot of calories left for the day. Walmart has It too.

    I love PB2! I have used it for for chocolate PB smoothies, and reconstitute it to dip apples and celery in. I like to mix honey into it as well. There is also a chocolate PB flavor. Easy to bring to the office for a healthy snack, just add a little bottled water and voila! I have found it at Wal-Mart and Kroger and will continue to purchase in the future. It is easier to travel with powder than it is with a goopy container of PB. :)

    I like it and have gone through several jars. I use it as a way to add a bit of protein and some flavor to things like oatmeal and smoothies. I've never tried re-constituting it and using it as a direct replacement for peanut butter; I still use regular (all natural, just peanuts) peanut butter too.

    I use the one with chocolate flavor added to it. I've never actually "made" peanut butter with it, but I find it's good for adding to my protein shakes -- especially when I get tired of a flavor & just need something different. Overall, I like it...

    I just had it this morning in my oatmeal. It doesn't take the place of my jiffy but it does well mixing it in something to give it the PB flavor. Delicious in smoothies!

    PB2 IS GREAT! Trust me I also LOVE peanut butter and I'm not one of those people who says that things like tofu ice cream taste the same as regular ice cream. Let's great real, but once you add the water to PB2 regular or chocolate is really tastes great, All of the flavor is retained, but it doesn't have the oily texture. It is also really good in smoothies.

    I use it and love it. The texture is different than regular peanut butter and it's also not as sweet, which I like.

    I eat unsweetened organic peanut butter regularly. It's the fat in nuts that our bodies need, those are considered good fats! Eating that powder stuff would be eating processed peanut butter and turning into a unhealthy food, in my opinion.

    I prefer to stick to as little processing of my foods as possible. The closer to natural, the better.

    I love pb2 in my shakes. The chocolate really satisfies my sweet tooth. I use both the original pb2 & pb2 chocolate. I love peanut & almond butter but I get a little carried away eating it when I have it in the house.

    Love them both, but prefer PB2 in smoothies to keep the fat down. I also use it to make things like Thai peanut sauce much more calorie friendly... I mix it with water & dip apples in it, you can make it as thick or thin as you want with water. Get some, you'll like it!

    Get a all natural peanut butter for the healthy side. With ingredients just being peanuts. I like the Pb and PB2 in my shakes though or tossed into protein pancakes.
