Basically, use half nut butter and half milk of choice and you've slashed the calories and fat in half! This may have made my life complete because this girl LOVES some nut butter and can't limit herself to just 2 TPSP per day! I don't think everyone will be as happy about this as I am but I figured I'd share it with all my fellow nut buttah lovahs (:

    This is so awesome! I hate peanut butter, but could eat my weight in just about any other nut butter.

    you're welcome. It is now my snack of choice: 1T. PB2 mixed with 1/2 c. plain soy yogurt. Tastes like PB pudding! maybe dip an apple in, or just eat with a spoon. YUM!

    Check out recipes on their website.

    I honestly can't believe how good it is.

    Also, Trader Joe's has "Better n' Peanutbutter"; about half the cals and fat of regular PB (still more than PB2). It's a bit sweet in a molasses - y way. Good, until you can get your PB2.

    Cheers!

    Thanks!! I love Oh She Glows and have her blog saved as a favorite but don't look at it every day - so might have missed this and that would have been very sad! I'm excited to try this because I don't go a day w/out eating nut butter (particurally 365 natural peanut butter)!

    I absolutely love her <3 I'm the same way about nut butter. I really want to try sunflower seed butter, though. Mmmmm.

    Sunflower seed butter is heavenly.
    I couldn't move past peanut butter no matter what I tried.. that Better'N Peanut Butter isn't so great, and neither is almond (in my humble opinion) but sunflower butter is the only one that I can say is better (gasp?!) than peanut butter!

    Do give PB2 a try. It is wonderful. I agree that BPB is not so great.
