Basically what the topic says, i saw it on Dr Oz and wanted to know what you guys thought of it, does it taste as good as peanut butter? is it worth buying? :) I love peanut butter and if something tastes the same with less calories that would be awesome

    I really enjoy it when I get it. Great to throw in shakes/smoothies, or just mix with water to dip things in. Kinda pricey, but I liked it better than regular peanut butter.

    It's okay. Does NOT taste the same as peanut butter, imo. But, not bad for the calories. :)

    I have tried it, and really like it. For using in baking it's a little difficult to figure out how much to use. But I like have the lower calorie count that it offers.

    I really like it. It's great on toast or my new favorite thing: add 2 Tbsp to 1/2 cup of pancake mix and cook, then top with bananas. Peanut butter banana pancakes!

    Yes, it great...to me it tastes exactly like PB, with reduced fat...comes in a powdered form...have to mix it with water to eat it...I order mine in bulk from amazon...love it.

    I just ate some on a lightly toasted bread with bananas on top, it was delicious.

    It doesn't taste exactly like peanut butter, but I still think its good. I keep both PB2 and normal peanut butter in my cabinet and depending on what I'm wanting to make I choose accordingly.

    I love it. Better than "actual" peanut butter, in my opinion. I don't know where this stuff has been all my life. And the chocolate flavor is amazing too. You can regulate the thickness simply by however much water you want to add to it. It's badass. And for "crunchy" peanut butter I lightly blend some almonds and mix it in. I can't recommend this stuff enough. People complain about some nutrients being stripped, but for 45 calories a serving, you can add it with other nutritional foodstuffs and you'll be fine.

    I love PB2! I've only tried it in shakes and it's great. I've used both the normal flavour and chocolate.

    On a side note, I had a hard time finding it at first. My local HEB was always out of stock (and no other big-name stores carried it) so I had to visit some small no-name health stores in my area. It was worth the search, though.

    Amazon has it. In our local stores it was hard to find at first. Thought it would have been in the diet foods or organic section, but was actually in the bread aisle.
    I just bought it and have not tried it, so I can't give you a review, but everything I have read about it sounds good.

    I wasn't a huge fan. It just isn't as satisfying to me for some reason. I also find that I have to mix it with water before mixing it into other things, otherwise it has a weird aftertaste that I definitely didn't like.

    Personally I would rather eat the natural real deal than a processed powder, but I see the appeal.
