    I will confess I did try this when I first started, it was absolutely disgusting. Wet dirty cardboard would have been a step up from this.

    This seems like it would taste atrocious. Luckily there is an alternative... A low cal high protein option is PB2 with chocolate (it's all mixed already in the jar). It's a powder. You measure 2 Tbsp, that's 45 calories, and you mix in about 2 tsp water and mash it together, which basically gives you defatted peanut butter. The flavor and texture are just fine to me. My doctor told me I should add this to the plain yogurt I eat for breakfast in order to get more protein in there (diabetic, must combine protein with all carby foods). So I did that, plus a small amount of honey and a little vanilla extract, and man it was good. You could eat it like that or dip fruit in it. You can make sandwiches with that PB2, or put it with apples or bananas. You can get plain or with chocolate, calories are the same. I have a jar of each.

    Yes! I love PB2!!!

    I'd be afraid of sacrificing taste for calories...or lack there of.

    I love Pb2 in yogurt, but haven't tried the chocolate one yet. Your post pretty much convinced me to give it a go.

    Also understand that its full of chemicals - that's why it can be low/no calories. Some people make that decision to compromise whole foods for additions to their diets. No judgement - just think about that when you're eating it.

    A lot of what's in there is cellulose, which is all natural, but indigestible to humans - think grass. Cows can digest it but they need to chew it endlessly with their massive teeth and powerful jaws and even then they still need four stomachs to do it. It behaves in humans akin to fiber.

    I tried their blue cheese salad dressing. It was utterly vile and I threw it out after one try.
