Peanut butter

Some nutrition stores do carry it. I typically order it online http://store.bellplantation.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-s/3.htm

I use it like protein powder in my morning oatmeal - yum! The texture is different than regular peanut butter (you mix it with water). It's good as a dip ( for apples) - but I don't really like it on toast.

If you really love peanut butter but are concerned about fat and calories. I would highly recommend PB2 made by Bell Plantation. It's simply crushed peanuts from which the majority of the oil has been squeezed out. You take the peanut powder and reconstitute it with fat free milk, water, juice, any liquid you desire. Also, you can use the powder straight...just sprinkle right on stuff like apples and celery or use in smoothies.

However, if you have no problem with eating regular (so delicious) peanut butter, I would say experiment with it. Apples and celery both go great with peanut butter. Or, for a higher calorie snack, serve with reduced fat wheat thins or other cracker.

Here is the link to Bell Plantation. www.bellplantation.com

There is a sample size (1 packet of regular PB2 and 1 packet of chocolate PB2, each packet contains 2 servings) for $3.99. There's where I started. I keep meaning to order the 4 pack of 6.5 oz. jars but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's awesome stuff.

oooh I have never heard of that.... I am going to have to look for it!

I love Peanut butter too and use the Harris Teeter Naturals Organic peanut butter - it's made with valencia nuts so they are a litlte sweeter than other varieties and it has no sugar added.

My fav dessert is one sheet (4 crackers) graham crackers wtih 1/2 TB peanut butter - sounds really too simple to be that good but it's so satisfying. My sister does this with Nutella (but that's even more cals than PB so I usually stick with PB which I love).

You can also try a recipe with grilled chicken (chunks) and make the sauce with tomato paste, oignons and peanut butter. Try google it, it's West African Peanut Butter Chicken. You have different twist on the recipe, depending on the region of Africa, I personnaly prefer the one from the West, mainly because I had african bfs from the west making this recipe for me quite often :P

i have it with oatmeal for dessert. lol

and
broccoli + table spoon of peanut butter + .5 teaspoon garlic powder + ginger + chili powder + pepper + .5 tbsp tamari soy sauce (high in sodium, but for me it's like my only significant source of sodium) = amazing dinner

You can buy PB2 online at http://store.bellplantation.com/

Or you can search their website to find any local health store in your area who *may* sell it:

is there a PB2 equivalent to almond or other nut butters?

Where do you get the Better'n'Peanut butter???

When Netrition has it in, it's actually cheaper shipping wise to get it from them than the Bell Plantation site.

PB2 doesn't have the same consistency when mixed as peanut butter, but it has good peanut flavor. It's not a peanut flour, however, I do believe there is a small amount of sugar in it as well as salt.

If you want it closer to peanut butter flavor, but less fat, when you reconstitute it, use a small amount of peanut oil (or any good oil you think would compliment the peanut flavor.)

I don't care for it in sandwiches, however I LOVE it for dips and quick stir fry sauces. Almost every day I have some with either carrot sticks or apple slices.

I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate PB2. Tried it recently. It's ok, but not so awesome I need it again.

I found the PB2 in the grocery store. They had a chocolate version too. You can look on the site to see where it is sold near you. I was surprised to see it listed near us since we're in a smaller town.
