So, I finally decided to order a sample of the PB2 powdered peanut butter, which comes with one packet of PB2 and one packet of Chocolate PB2 and both packets contain two servings each (sample price = $3.99). I just received it in the mail yesterday.

This morning I mixed up 2 TBS PB2 to have with my apple slices as a snack...delicious! I think this stuff has a great peanutty taste and was completely satisfying (I'm somewhat of a peanut butter addict but I don't eat it much because of the high calories and fat content.) PB2 ingredients: roasted peanuts, salt, and sugar...that's it! Nutritional information: 2 TBS contains 45 calories, 13 fat calories, 1.5 total fat grams, 0 saturated fat, negligable trans fat and cholesterol, 5 g total carbs, 2 g fiber, 1 g sugar, and 5 g protein.

I'm already planning on ordering the 6.5 oz jar from Bell Plantation website and starting to think of all the things I can try with it!

I'm sure this stuff has already been talked about, but I just wanted to put it out there again. I definitely recommend it for people who love peanut butter but are trying to cut calories and fat from their diet.

Any other MFP members who already use PB2? What do you think of it? Does anyone have any recipes in which they use PB2?

    I had heard of it, but hadn't tried it yet. If I liked it I was thinking about becoming a affiliate of it.

    A friend turned me onto it and bought me the regular and the new chocolate. WOOT WOOT! Amazing stuff and well worth every 45 calories:)

    I love PB2, and the chocolate PB2! If anyone lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Market Street carries it so you don't have to order it online. It's $6 a jar, but so worth it.

    I've been using the stuff for a while. Sometimes I like to add just a tiny bit of salt when I mix it up. It's also great in baked goods and on chicken (like a peanut sauce type thing). I miss the real stuff though.

    I use and like PB2 w/ Chocolate.

    I add it into my protein shakes......love it.

    I use it on days where my fats are low....on days where I up my fats, I use regular peanut butter or Almond butter.

    I like it in oatmeal or smoothies. I always use real peanut butter (you know peanut butter &Co brand ;P) otherwise. It will NEVER replace my peanut butter

    I use it in my smoothies and I agree, it's delish! I keep meaning to try the chocolate one.

    Have had both regular and chocolate version of PB2 and both taste like crap in my opinion so I reverted back to the real thing. I use Jiff Natural crunchy peanut butter everyday and also make fresh warm peanut butter in our VitaMix from time to time. In my opinion it is worth the calories for the real thing... Best of Luck though to each there own.....

    It's available in the grocery section of my local Target, and fairly reasonably priced as well. I love it for smoothies and recipes but I'm not a huge fan of it by itself.

    I found something similar at Costco called PBFit.

    I haven't tried it yet, but thought I'd chime in :wink:

    I bought it for the first time just last week at Walmart and I'm loving it in my protein shakes!

    I looooove pb2, its definitely helped me with managing my calories. I like it on my lenders cinnamon raisin bagels (lenders are the best, they're smaller and usually average out to around 200-220 calories compared to 280-300) but i'll also use it with carrots, celery, crackers, you name it! it honestly tastes the exact same to me, and I like that I can make it as creamy and thick as I want

    I never heard of it and my first reaction was eww! But I may try it. Is it in a store or do you have to order it?

    Buy it up here in Canada at Popeyes Fitness. I haven't tried the chocolate one that I bought yet, but I love the plain PB2 in my protein shakes with strawberries. Tastes like a pb& j sandwich.

    I tried the regular PB2 for the first time today after my mom gave me one of the sample packets. I was skeptical, to say the least. I love me some peanut butter. I liked the taste, but I definitely needed to adjust the powder/water ratio (unless I grossly underestimated how much powder I started with), cause it was kinda soupy? I will definitely be buying a jar of it (and trying the chocolate asap!). I love dipping apples and celery in peanut butter as a snack... and I bet it'd be great in a smoothie/shake or maybe mixed in with some plain yogurt.

    I love this stuff in my protein shake. Also, I mix it with soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, bit of honey, water, ginger and garlic for an Asian-style dipping sauce. It's great on brown rice with veggies and a little goes a long way.
