I add PB2 in my oatmeal. My husband loves PB so I mixed some up and put it in his lunch one day. He didn't even notice
I eat both and as someone said, everything is ok in moderation. 0 -

Only time PB2 is good is when it is in Triton's Peanut Butter Stout. Delicious!0 -

A better question would be, is it okay to not eat peanut butter. The answer to that being no, are you crazy?! It's the best thing in the world and I'm suspicious of anyone who doesn't eat it. Those with peanut allergies are clearly alien reptilians disguised as humans and peanuts are their natural enemy. Only with peanut butter can we root them out and save the human race from being overrun by alien reptilians who have peanut allergies. So in answer to your question, yeah, it's fine.0 -
Also, a word of advice, weigh out your PB. Most jars will label the serving size as 170cal (32g) or something along those lines. Eyeballing or using a spoon is damned near impossible and likely to cause one to overeat their PB calories.0

A tablespoon can hold any amount of peanut butter depending on how heaped the scoop is.

I'm guessing you don't cook much. A tablespoon = a level tablespoon.0 -
I love PB. I like PB2 but often don't have time to make it in the morning. After making it they recommend keeping it in the fridge. Sometimes I make it ahead of time. I've also discovered "Better'n Peanut Butter" Low Sodium at Trader Joe's. About $5 for a little jar and it does taste OK...a lot less calories and less fat....and less sodium which with my history of kidney stones is important to me. I don't think I could live without PB in my life. Thanks for sharing all these kinds of PB I have never heard of...Moderation is the key for me, a thin layer on a toasted english muffin no matter what kind of PB I use seems to work for me. Of course I USED to pile it on THICK...but no more.0

Define natural. There is no legal definition of natural, it is only a marketing tool that means nothing. The only legally defined labeling is "organic".

There is no legal labelling definition of 'natural'. But there are dictionaries.0 -

Point is that people buy and/or recommend a "natural" product with the misguided notion that "natural" is a good thing but in reality it is a meaningless label. It only means it is not artificial, it does not necessarily mean it is good for you.0 -

Same here. I make my own, with cinnamon or maybe dark chocolate. On a spelt or whole wheat square, sometimes with recently rediscovered fluff.0 -
Anything peanut butter and bananas is the best for me!
PB banana smoothie, pb banana sandwich, frozen bananas with melted pb, pb oatmeal cookies (oop no banana) haha I consider it as my addiction.
Sometimes I eat it straight out of the jar. Love how smooth it looks in my spoon!
Basically my answer is YES! So long as it fits into your calorie goal and all, why nut?0 -

Gotta admit, I laughed at this one.
Unless something CALLS for a heaping tablespoon, then a tablespoon is supposed to be leveled off to be a true tablespoon.0 -

I'm literally addicted to it. A minimum of 2-4tbsp daily!
All of their flavors are AWESOME. I eat a tablespoon of the Cinnamon Raisin right off the spoon for breakfast if I'm in a hurry. The hot one is fab for Satay or pasta.
PB2 tastes ok, but the texture won't satisfy your need for real peanut butter. I use it in smoothies, etc.0 -
It's a food item for people, so yah.0

I can't imagine life without peanut butter. But I am very strict with how much I use. I always measure out how much I'm using.0

Peanut butter is great to include in your day! It's high in protein and healthy fats! Just keep an eye on your portions, as it is pretty calorie dense and can add up quickly. Also, go for natural peanut butter, since it doesn't have as much sugar!0

Pb2 is delicious, I love it. I love all nut butters, especially almond butter, holy crap is it delicious. Barney butter crunchy is where it's at!0

I recently discovered PB2 chocolaty powder. I add 3 TBS into my smoothie everyday, and it gives me the yummy peanut flavour. Haven't had the guts to try it on bread yet....0

I use PB2 instead. Regular PB is prohibitively high in calories. The defatted powdered version that you mix with water is a godsend. comparison: 190 cal for 2 tbsp. for regular, or 45 cal for 2 tbsp for PB2.0

it's okay on toast paired with banana or jam/jelly. but i wouldnt put it on bread i don't think, untoasted. the texture & taste would uh.. not be something i'd want. i'll take a small portion of real pb when it comes to a sandwich..0 -
I've just added these two to my pantry this week, and have had both today. The chocolate one straight off a spoon (dutifully weighed) and the smoke and fire in a marinade for my tempeh. So. Good. I'm thinking the chocolate one will go exceedingly well in a banana smoothie.

A little bit of peanut butter is great when you are peckish but not really hungry. It kills the desire to eat quick and tastes great.0

My favorite peanut butter at the moment is Maranatha's No Stir Raw Maple Almond Butter & just bought their Caramel Almond spread last night to try.
