PB2 or pwdered peanut butter?????

I ordered mine from here. I'm not sure you can buy it the store but I could be wrong.

I ordered mine from the website because it is not sold anywhere near me. Go to the bellplantation website to order or find out where it is in stores.

Went and looked up the nutrition facts. I didn't see a ton of sugar, looks low sugar to me.

Remember that ANY carbohydrate is a sugar and is treated as such by the body. The individual 'sugar' listed is actually a 'simple' sugar. Diet, low fat, or low sugar options are rarely good for you as they will be full of either saturated fat (low sugar), sugar (low fat) or chemicals (diet).

By all means use powdered peanut butter, but remember that its defunct when it comes to nutritional value and its the nutrients in a food type that your body requires to function efficiently, not the calorie/macronutrient split. To highlight the point - a bowl of porridge has a similar calorific and macronutrient split to a bar of chocolate - which one is better for you?

Okay, I just HAVE to say this....All I asked was if anyone knew where to buy PB2. I am an adult, so I can read ingredients and make my own food choices. I didn't ask for critiques, opinions, ridicule, or judgmental comments that try to sway someone's personal choices. Thanks and have a nice day :bigsmile:

Amen!

To answer your question merebear, I found PB2 in the natural foods section of the HyVee grocery.
Here is a store locator: http://www.bellplantation.com/products/locator

I like to add PB2 to almond milk, for an after workout light shake.

With all due respect to WhiteStar2351, he clearly is not familiar with PB2 and is making generalizations based on other types of low fat peanut butters (and other diet foods), where fat is often replaced by sugar among other things. With PB2 (or peanut flour), most but not all of the fat has been removed and there are no preservatives or other junk added.

if you have Hyvee in texas, they have it there.

My wife used this a lot for making protein shakes and really liked it

Now that she's done dieting I think we still have some around... not sure what to use it for though! I believe she went to the manufacturers website and found a store who carried it in So Cal... we just bought a ton and it lasted her for a few months.

I use it and love it! I buy mine at Market Street in Allen but if you have a Market Street near you, call 'em. They probably have it. I'm hooked on the stuff -- especially for my chocolate protein shakes and in PBJ sandwiches. Yummo!!

I would recommend against it - it's very high in sugar! Natural Organic Peanut butter is a good source of healthy fats in the diet - the dried stuff removes all those healthy fats and replaces them with sugar - the overall calories may be slightly lower but the general nutritional quality is worthless. Stick with the natural stuff!

I'm with you there - if its not 'natural' its likely they've put in all sorts of rubbish - I saw a documentary on the BBC this week and it seems that 'artificial' fats digest more quickly meaning a quicker release of energy from your food. This means though we are more likely to snack more and feel hungrier as well as other side effects. see link -

The ingredients list for regular PB2 is Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Salt.
The ingredients list for chocolate PB2 is Roasted Peanuts, Cocoa Powder, Sugar, Salt.

I guess I will be taking a looking at Netrition. I don't have any decent stores around me that have it, and I don't want to buy a ton of it from Bell Plantation. :flowerforyou:

I'm looking forward to trying it in my Shakeology and protein shakes because it would be nice to use more than 1 tablespoon without worrying about the high calories or fat content. I want the taste without the mess. :bigsmile:

Looking forward to trying this since Trader Joe's discontinued their peanut flour.

I buy PB2 at Kroger...not sure if you have kroger there or not but kroger also is connected with Smith's grocery store, it would be in the Organic or Health food isle. this stuff and my Zumba instructor encourages it since it is high in protein and is amazing before or after a workout!!
