    I have both. PB2 is for smoothies and pancake topping for me.

    PB2 in my smoothies and yogurt, and real peanut butter on toast. I tried the all natural peanut butter ONCE, I hated it, ended up throwing a huge jar in the bin :disappointed:

    Haven't tried PB2. I like making my own. I know what is in there and I can make it exactly the way I like it. I can even add frou-frou spices if I want. :)

    I get a little out of control around peanut butter. It is my one food that can screw up my deficit badly, so I go the pB2 route (I actually prefer a couple other brands as PB2 is not as tasty).

    I tried PB2 but didn't like it. I'll stick to my peanut butter with nothing in it except peanuts and salt. Yum.

    That would be PB&Co white chocolate wonderful at the moment.

    My favorite too.

    I would only choose natural pb with no salt and no sugar , mostly found it in almond butter tho (my last one was melrose which contain only 100% almonds)

    I don't like PB2...not worth the calories, even if it doesn't have that many.

    I eat natural peanut butter, with salt. You need fat in your diet, and peanut butter is healthy unsaturated fat. And salt will not hurt you either. Peanut butter is one of the most satisfying foods I eat. Well worth every delicious and healthy calorie.

    Powdered peanut butter is great in smoothies and yogurt; natural, chunky peanut butter is great straight from the jar!
    Mmmmmm

    I rarely eat peanut butter, but when I do it's for completely self indulgent reasons. For me it's got to be the real thing, preferably freshly ground and not too smooth.

    I eat both - it just depends on which one calorically/macronutiently fits better in my day.

    Totally this.

    I mix PB2 in oatmeal and it's great. But other than that I use regular PB.

    I prefer PB2 for almost everything. I don't really like the texture of peanut butter. The exception is toast; melted peanut butter is awesome.

    I love PB2 with chocolate protein powder. Haven't made "peanut butter" with it yet. Probably won't.

    I stay away from peanut butter for now. I do use PB2 for smoothies or other recipes that call for peanut butter. I will add real peanut butter back into my diet once I reach my goal weight. Right now the extra calories and fat aren't worth it to me. No PB&J for me :(
