    i liked it, it tastes like peanut butter frosting.... it has less calories but i ate it just as much!! (i was trying to find a healthier substitute because I eat pb non-stop....) Nice idea to try, expensive sort of. I really like Honey Soy-nut butter by I.M. Healthy as a pb substitute. and almond butter.

    I love it!!! Especially because I can eat a full 2 tbsp (love peanut butter) and half the calories and fat. If you're going to try it, I would suggest trying it on a sandwich or in oatmeal first to get used to the taste. It reminds me of almond butter actually. Not as creamy. It takes a little getting used to if you're in-love with the real fattening deal like I was, but I have to say it is so totally worth it. I have two jars in my house at all times so I never run out, and because I can't just pick it up at my local grocery store. All for me!!!

    I agree about the soynut butter.

    Due to a peanut allergy in my home, I only buy Soynut butter. My daughter who is allergic won't touch it because it looks so much like PB but my youngest (3yrs) loves it! She eats a SNB sandwich almost everyday!

    Oh, and I never tried better'n peanut butter. Sorry!

    Good luck!

    I haven't, but I love Naturally More Peanut Butter. Only 11g of fat per 2 Tablespoons w/ flax & flaxseed oil. It's delicious too!!

    I have tried the PB2 powdered PB, and it's not bad mixed in things (like yogurt or oatmeal) but not so great when mixed w/ water to make real PB.

    I LOVE it.....and I really like the PB2 also....you can definitely tell a difference between PB2 and REAL peanut butter, but if it saves me that many calories and that much fat, YAHOO!!! I am okay with a similar alternative...

    I personally thought it was gross, the only one I found was low sodium so maybe that had something to do with it.

    I tried it on bread first too, I ended up wiping some of the PB off onto the plate haha.

    Everybody is different tho! I think I'll stick with my crunchy PB from Great Value...:tongue:

    i've also tried it.. and i must say, it was nowhere near the real thing.. and about the eating pb nonstop... so i'm not theonly one who goes to my fridge with a spoon at least once a day?

    Ok, i got some, it doesn't really taste a whole lot like peanut butter to me, i think i could get used to it though if i wanted to. does the soynut butter offer anything more than peanut butter since its in the same range of calories and fat as the reduced fat peanut butter is there any added benefit that it has
