What do use powdered peanut butter with?

I've seen it in advertisements lately. Today, when I saw it in my grocery store, it said for baking or shakes. Is this the only way to use it or can you reconstitute it to 'regular' peanut butter?

    I've only used it in shakes, I only got some on Friday. I've read that it can be mixed with water and used like regular peanut butter, but doesn't have exactly the same texture because of the lack of fat.

    You can add water to reconstitute it for fruit or sandwiches or whatever. The measurements are on the container. I typically add it to shakes. Protein powder, a frozen banana, powdered peanut butter, and a little almond milk. Yummmm. Also added to oatmeal is delicious!!!
    My favorite brand is PB2.

    I add it to Hot Cocoa...it becomes more indulgent, without all the calories (homemade hot cocoa--not that pre-packaged stuff...less sugar, real cocoa powder, etc.) and ends up tasting a bit like a certain peanut butter cup that I used to eat frequently :smiley: Otherwise, yeah...into the morning shake it goes.

    I add it to greek yogurt and shakes, make peanut sauce with it (to reduce calories), and dip sliced fruit in it. The main two uses for me are making PB&J greek yogurt or eating it with a sliced up apple.

    I sometimes mix it with water and use instead of peanut butter, but I will also sometimes add just a dab of light cream-style feta cheese. It may sound weird, but the texture of the feta adds some creaminess to the pb2 that water alone doesnt; and I love the slightly sharp flavor!

    I add it into soy sauce with lime juice, sesame oil, and make it a Thai peanut sauce.

    love it in smoothies when the regular texture of the peanut butter is so thick. Can also so mini health bites or bake health goodies with it.

    I recently bought PB2 powder peanut butter and its really good! I think its better than peanut butter with oil. Its not as sweet as I like it but its better. :)

    I have the pb & co vanilla powdered peanut butter and I spread it on basically everything. Bagel thins, english muffins, fruit... It even tastes good on its own. The dry mix with a little xantham gum and greek yogurt mixed and set in the freezer makes a good pudding too!

    Everything!
    I love the chocolate PB2 with greek yogurt. It's also good in oatmeal (but you have to add it to the oatmeal in the bowl, not during the cooking process). It's good in protein shakes. I don't like it in a sandwich, but I do like it on an english muffin, or as a dip for fruit, or on a rice cake. I've also used it to make a peanut sauce (just the plain pb2, not chocolate).

    That kind of affects the calorie savings.

    PSA: Costco had big bags of it when I went there the other day. I mostly use it in yogurt or oatmeal.

    I add it to everything that I want to taste more like peanut butter that I don't want to add peanut butter to. It's really only peanut flour and not some magical dehydrated peanut powder. You can buy the exact same stuff by buying bulk peanut flour for much cheaper... that aside, the only reason I use it over peanut butter is the fat. There is nothing wrong with the fat, but at times I want the flavor and don't have room in my macros for full fat nut butter.
