    Sounds interesting, but I just found Smuckers natural PB and I think I will stick to that.

    I am so getting this today. I was planning on the Better N Butter but this has over twice the protein in 2 tbs. Thanks!

    I have tried the PB-2 and personally do NOT care for it. It's really expensive and most of the jar was given to my dog in his Kong. It just didn't do it for me. Trust me...i really wanted it to. Bell Plantation made a great effort to try to duplicate the taste of real peanut butter...but for me...Not even close.

    For now, I will stick with eating the good stuff in moderation.

    Hopefully other's will enjoy it!!

    Would love to try this but shipping is $10! Makes one order $25! And doesn't look like there are any stores in my area that sell it. If anyone finds a cheaper way to get it online let me know!

    Oh yes, PB2- I use this stuff EVERY SINGLE DAY! I'm in Canada so I order it in, but wow this stuff is awesome. My last order came up to almost $80 (incl. shipping), because I go through it so fast- with breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes.

    But hey, you couldn't do all the stuff I do with PB2 with regular PB (without added guilt, and extra pounds, that is)

    Love it :-)

    What kind of shelf life does this stuff have? I've gotta figure it keeps for awhile since the oil is gone.

    Wonderful suggestion. I'm going to try it. I'm in Arizona and found four stores (fitness nutrition stores) that carry it. They said that it's so popular that, even though they get a ton in, it's typically sold out in a day or so. That makes me think I'd like to try it! Checked Texas stores and it's ALL OVER! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for the tip!!

    The guy at the nutrition stores said that it's great in chocolate "peanut butter" protein shakes and stirred into oatmeal. Yum! There are tons of recipes at the company's website as well. Love learning of new products!!!

    Okay. Update time.

    I found some and bought both the regular and the chocolate. And I really like it. It satisfies the peanut butter urge without the calories. Love it!!

    That said, I'll still stock Skippy Natural (one of the few without hydrogenated (partially or fully) fats in it ... sure wish Jiff would change!!!) for those times I want the fatty, melt-y variety. But on a PBJ sandwich, it's perfect. And in chocolate peanut butter protein shakes, it's awesome ... and in oatmeal too. My husband actually prefers it to "regular" peanut butter.

    It does have sugar, but not a ton and certainly that's no different than regular peanut butter (other than a few natural no sugar added choices). I get plenty of healthy fats through olive oil, salmon, and avocados so I rarely NEED to get the extra fat calories from peanut butter, but on days that I'm low on healthy fats and calories, I'd probably opt for the Skippy Natural.

    But for the majority of days where this isn't the case, its a wonderful option. thanks for starting the thread. I love learning about new, healthier options! Thanks!!

    Have any Canadians found this in stores? I checked the website and they change you as much as the Peanut butter to ship it (another $15.00).

    Dang, that's high! It's good, but not THAT good. Write to the company (via their website) and ask them to ship into your area. And if you haven't already done so, go to the website and use the "find a store" tab to see if it's sold anywhere near you.

    Thanks for the suggestions. The "find a store" tab only finds stores in the U.S. I'm going to Niagara Falls in a couple weeks, maybe they sell it in Niagara NY

    I love this stuff. I like to put it my protien shakes because a little goes a long way. I've also been making pb and j sandwhiches with it for school. It saves so many calories!

    sounds like something worth trying. thanks for the recommendation! just read your profile and i'm really encouraged by you since i've got about 40 lbs to lose. hope you don't mind if i follow your progress. i'm new, just starting, and need that push to see someone who thought it might be impossible at the beginning who has done so well. congrats! ~lil
