  • I use it at least three times a week! Always trying to get my calories in but always running out of fat calories...it's the perfect substitute!

    Just recently bought a container of pb2 & I really like it for a low cal option. Only add in a little water...the thicker you leave it, the closer the consistency to actual pb. I spread it on some 40 cal multi grain bread & add a tablespoon of sugar free jam. It's a good pb&j substitute for less than half the calories. I say go for it & try some :)

    I bought some recently (just for smoothies), and I have to say - I'm really disappointed. I find it to have a really rank aftertaste. At $11AUD for the jar, we'll finish the jar, but I'm going back to the real deal after that.
    Then again, I don't have a problem with only eating the recommended serving size, and I think it's worth the calories for the taste...

    I would actualy sugest you try real peanut flower you buy off any store shelf. taste just like peanut buter just real low fat and lower cal. The stuff I bought at Winco is awesome and cheap.

    I like it! I mix it with almond milk instead of water, the consistency is much creamier.

    @KLM2206 is in Australia, like myself. I rang around everywhere yesterday looking for peanut flour, and nobody had heard of it.. I called health food stores and the supermarkets, I shall keep searching though.

    Ok well me and PB2 are having a love affair. I get it about 2 times a day and that's everyday. My obsession is utterly delicious.

    Has anyone compared PB2 with plain peanut flour? Is there much of a difference?

    PB2 has added sugar and salt... peanut flour does not. That is the only real difference.

    I just bought some of the Jiff peanut powder. I went with it because it is just peanuts and no added anything else. I don't care for really sweet drinks and my fruit, yogurt, banana smoothies are sweet enough. But adding the peanut powder turned them into something awesome.

    I love peanut butter but it doesn't love me. Adding the Jiff peanut powder to my morning drink gives me the taste, no added sweetness, and only 45 calories.
