There is a shop on ebay that sells calorie free foods. Anyone tried Waldon farms fat free, calorie free peanut spread? Is it even possible? Don't want to get ripped off and don't want to put weight on!

That sounds horrific....And impossible?0

I have tried a few of their products but never the peanut spread. The Cesar dressing is not too bad but all of their stuff has a strong vinegar taste. My wife likes the BBQ sauce. For the price it is just not worth it.
Edit to add, if you are looking for lower calorie but still tasty peanut butter. Then buy PB2, it is real and natural and tastes very good. 2 tablespoons are 45 calories vs 190 for regular Peanut butter.

They actually have their own website and everything is made with Splenda rather sugar (artificial sweetener) Not sure how they taste but check out their website and you can check the ingredients for yourself!!!0

I can't (and don't want to ) imagine what it has in it.
I buy peanut butter from the supermarket, I check all the ingredients, and buy (usually the cheapest ) one, I select based on ingredient and nutrition, I expect it to contain peanuts and a little oil, and a little salt anything else and I don't want it.
my current one is from whole earth and contains 97% peanut0 -
I tried powdered peanut butter once. Just add water to the powder. Really, really low in calories. I can't remember the brand. I still have it, but it was disgusting. It's best used for shakes or baking. I used Peter Pan Whipped Peanut Butter. 150c per serving. I eat it everyday. It's kind of my guilty pleasure with raisins and a slice of milton's double fiber bread. I eat for dessert.0

It's disgusting. Don't do it save your money. Buy real peanut butter, weigh it, log it and enjoy it.0

I like my peanut butter chunky. Can you get that with pb2?0

I can't imagine the taste.lol!0

What exactly is the point of a calorie free food? Can it be classed as a food at all?0

I doubt it. It's most likely nutritionally void.0 -

Good review about PB2 on this site :

I bought some chocolate sauce from them... it seemed to be the item with the most positive reviews, all the others had "Yuck!" as their highest rated review pretty much...
But it tasted so awful, I had to throw it out... I tried it in all different kinds of ways, and it was just not edible. And I'm not at all sensitive to the taste of 'fake foods' usually! So I was really surprised by how disgusting I would find it.
Haven't tried their peanut butter, but my gues is that it's worse... To get the consistency of peanut butter, they will have to use even more thickeners and emulsifiers etc. which is what gives the awful taste.
Try PB2, tastes abseloutly lovely, and has 80% less calories than regular peanut butter0 -

Unfortuneatly, no
I like it crunchy too, so I'm sad. But I eat it on crisp bread, to give the illusion, lol :b 0 -

the only way it could be calorie free , is if it contained no real peanuts, and about 45 chemicals with multiple syllable names0 -

Fat free equals sugar high, which just leads to insulin spikes and then hunger pangs.
Try something like an almond butter, which is higher in fat but contains hardly any sugar or carbs, so will sate you and stop you reaching for the snacks 2 hours later.0 -
Impossible!
Chemical ****storm IMO.0 -
I have tried their salad dressing. I didn't like it very much.I like my peanut butter chunky. Can you get that with pb2?
^^It is not chunky, but it is very low calorie and as you have to mix it with water, maybe add in some chopped peanuts. It will add calories, but still will be lower in calories than regular peanut butter.
I like PB2. I eat it on a toasted English muffin with sliced banana.0 -

Thanks for sharinf my blog Annabellie
PB2 is slightly crunchy! It has bits of peanut in and definitely has some texture. It isn't as crunchy as original PB of course but it isn't completely smooth. You can add as much or little water as you want to to make it your desired consistency.0 -
I've tried it and its HORRIBLE! Some of their dressings are ok...just ok. Like the "balsamic" is ok. PB2 is excellent though. You can find it in most grocery stores now, but I order it online. Its got a rich roasted peanut taste and is great for smoothies or mixed into baked goods. Its not the best peanut butter ever, but for 75% less fat and calories, its worth it to me. They just press all the oil out, roast and grind the peanuts into a powder.0

Oh God! AVOID Walden Farms spreads. They taste like... poop.
The ONLY thing they have that's good is the chocolate syrup, and pancake syrup.... that's it.
If you want lower calorie peanut butter, buy PB2 or go to Myoatmeal.com and buy their PB Lean (which is amazing).0 -

It tastes nothing like peanut at all. The only walden products I like is the syrups and the choc spread, both of which i use to add flavour to my oatmeal ^.^0 -
I've also tried this...I read negative reviews but still thought I'd be 'ok' with it...NO! I was wrong! It's consistency and taste is like gelatinous mayo with a slight hint of peanuts mixed in.
I threw it away...and I never throw food items away!
I learned my lesson...if it seems 'to good to be true...it most likely is:))0 -
Trying to post a pic and can't :explode:
Yay first one is PB2 before and after
2nd is chocolate pb2 on bagel. DELISH x0 -
it's not something that you can eat by itself - it is unbelievably sweet and the texture is kind of off... I use it as topping on other foods, but would never use it as a PB substitute. I have some PB2 that I am going to try as that seems to get better reviews for taste.
That being said, I do like Walden Farms salad dressings for the most part (I use the vinaigrette ones as a meat marinade as well) and their chocolate/caramel sauce does sub in for the real thing when I need it.
I don't add in sugar when cooking because I am a diabetic, so most of their products give my food the sweetness I need when cooking0 -
I also add pb2 into my stir fries to make a satay sauce.. it...is...awesome0

Calorie free? That's not food, that's a lab experiment. Yuck.0 -
I tried several Waldon products a couple years ago. ALL were horrific and I am not one to waste food and will try things to improve the flavor before tossing. There was no improving these products. Aside from that I now realize they are just plain awful for your body.0

Don't bother with it, it probably tastes boring! Try Better N' Peanut Butter, it is sooo delicious. Very low fat and low calorie, tastes so much better than regular peanut butter too. Hope you have control tho, because it's so good I went crazy and ate the whole jar for a meal. LOL I wasn't serious about my weight loss at that time though :P0
