Powdered peanut butter

Well, each to their own. I don't like it, but a friend of mine loves it. They PB flavor is there, but it's just missing something. You may have to just try it for yourself.

I prefer the jif chocolate peanut butter powder but pb2 works in a pinch. Don't go in expecting the delicious flavor and comfort of peanut butter though.

I bought a bag of powdered peanut butter a couple of months ago. Tried it. It tasted ok but I prefer the real thing and haven't tried it again yet.

Should just toss a couple of tbsps in my morning protein shake to use it up, but the amount of protein (5G) in it just doesn't justifythe extra caloric intake (45 cals) IMO.

i personally dont like it by itself. in things its ok but on toast or to dip stuff in i need the real stuff

I never eat it on its own, but I love it in protein shakes, oats, cottage cheese (seriously, powdered peanut butter in cottage cheese with chopped apples is DA BOMB), and yogurt. I also like it in noodle sauces and for home made protein bars.

I like the Jif. I've never had good luck getting the PB2. Every jar of that I've bought has had an off taste.

I buy protein plus (no salt or sugar) peanut flour and use it for my Asian peanut sauces. If I drank smoothies I would absolutely add it to those too.

PB2 is good mixed into Greek yogurt also.

I have tried the PB2 just the way they say to make it into peanut butter.. its good but not got the same taste as regular because there is no oil in it.. its basically dehydrated peanut butter... all natural... I have gotten to where I use it in my protein shakes rather than just making it into peanut butter.. has a great flavor and adds the little extra protein to it. I have seen the PB2 Chocolate.. but as I am not a huge chocolate person I have never tried that.

check out my diary.. under my breakfast where it is used daily...

see below

actually its almost no sugar.. only 1g of sugar for the PB2... one serving size 2tbs.

it is like someone's sad memory of peanut butter.

Not a fan. There is no need to fear dietary fat. Why suck the life out of a perfectly healthy, whole food?

Exactly. If you use the organic or natural kind, it's a great source of good fat. And since sugar is the 2nd ingredient listed in the list, it makes up a large portion. I used to make PB smooties for my husband and I and it would take at least a cup of the stuff to get the flavor. When I calculated the calories and sugar amounts for a cup of PB2 I went back to natural PB which had less sugar ratio to protien and fat. We were more satiated and didn't use as much.

Remember a lot of times when companies take out the fat they replace it with sugar. The flavor has to come from some where.

Now if you are just going to stick to 1tbs a pop. By all means go there. But if you are using cups of the stuff at a time don't waste your $$$$

I had to add a sprinkle of salt to Jif powder, prefer PB2. I eat it often, PBJ sandwiches, PB with banana, PB with apple slices.

Love PB2. I also like to cook with it and make a satay sauce for peanut chicken, etc. Good in protein shakes, use it on occasion in my ezekiel bread french toast, overnight oats, etc.
