If it fits into your calories for the day, yes! And make sure you weigh it, dense high calorie foods like this can easily rack up if not measured properly. Enjoy, I love peanut butter0

Um, if you are measuring your peanut butter with a tablespoon I can pretty much guarantee you are eating much more than a tablespoon. Weigh it.0 -
I make my own in my vitamix, it takes 2 minutes, I don't add any oils and it looks nothing like the "natural" PB at the store with an inch of oil at the top. It has no separation and is great on apples (or anything else).0

a tablespoon measuring spoon is not a silverware tablespoon. As long as it's a level measuring spoon's worth they're fine!0 -

Oh I sure wouldn't! Just answering the nice lady's question. I do hear great things, both on this thread and through friends, about flavoring smoothies etc with it.0 -

Because it also removes majority of the calories while tasting like regular peanut butter.
Most people on here have calorie restrictions, PB2 helps meet said restrictions.0 -
It is absolutely NOT just like real peanut butter. If you love peanut butter, it's a sad waste of calories.
Wholeheartedly agree with everyone on weighing the peanut butter. If you absolutely cannot weigh, then a leveled measuring spoon is next best. I've learned that I can pretty easily fit 3+ tablespoons of peanut butter on one of my regular "teaspoons". I like peanut butter.
PB2 is perfect for shakes, Oatmeal, stir fry or anything else you would use peanut butter as an adder.
What a lot of these posters that bash PB2 don't understand is that most people in here are on calorie restrictions. Peanut butter has an extremely high amount of calories for a small serving. It's great if you are on a bulk but if you are attempting to cut weight, not always the best option If you are attempting to feel full while cutting.
PB2 has completely curbed my cravings for peanut butter. Been over 2 years since I've had it . Currently have 4 containers of PB2 in the pantry!0 -

four servings of PB2 is equal to one serving of peanut butter in calories. Perfect substitute.0 -
Ive rethought my reply after making my own various nut butters in our Ninja blender. Screw it. Eat all you want, just realize that you have to fit it in your calorie goals or at least accept that it'll take extra work that day to use those calories. One thing is for sure - 2 lousy tablespoons isnt anywhere NEAR enough of a serving. barely wets the appetite. I'll eat a bunch and Im done when I say Im done. Period. Doesnt effect me negatively at all.0

As with anything, moderation is the key... A spoonful of PB as a quick protein-rich snack after a work-out or to tie you over until dinner isn't going to hurt as long as you remember to log it. When my daughter and I were doing Zumba, we used to enjoy a post-workout snack.. Take 2 T of peanut butter and a tsp of chocolate chips, melt them together in the microwave for 5-10 seconds... Break up a banana and dip it into the melty-peanutty goodness. YUM!0

I added a measured Tbs of regular peanut butter into my smoothies a couple of times and couldnt even taste it in there!! So i got the calories but no peanut butter flavour
That's when I swapped over to PB2, 12g for 45 calories and a wonderful peanut buttery tasting smoothie.
I still haven't tried it on toast yet....0 -

Weigh the jar before you take out your peanut butter and then weigh it afterward. That will tell you how many grams of peanut butter you removed. That way, you can just get it out of the jar with a knife and still know exactly how much you got.
Just leave the jar on the scale. Tare it to 0, then take how many grams you need.... Then you can lick the knife or spoon and not go over your cals
OMG Brilliant, why haven't I thought of this0 -
I'm a new convert to pb, I used to hate it. But... Almond butter, omg it's absolutely gorgeous. I have the meridian brand. I have to really discipline myself to measure it and keep to my logged amount! Totally worth every calorie0

absolutely not. You shouldn't measure peanut butter with a measuring spoon, it should be weighed in grams. Try it.
Creamy foods like that should always be weighed because it is very easy to pack more into the measuring spoon or cup without even realizing it.0 -
