    I've tried it and I like it. I mixed a tablespoon of PB2 with 4 oz plain yogurt and I think I added a teaspoon of chia seeds. It worked well together. I actually bought the PB2 to make overnight oats but I haven't done that yet.


    Oh, I use Smuckers Natural Chunky on bread. I'm not completely crazy.

    Since I discovered PB2, I have never bought another jar of regular peanut butter. PB2 mixed in yogurt and oatmeal gives me the peanut butter taste I want and I don't take the huge calorie hit as I would with regular peanut butter. In a nutshell... SO GOOD!

    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'm older (not very tall). I just don't have the calories to spare by adding 200 calories to oatmeal.

    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.

    I have used the PB Fit and liked it. It has 10 more calories per serving than PB2 - the extra sugar, probably. I'm in a maintenance mode lately, so haven't used it much. I like to spread it on a square of dark chocolate for a treat - almost as good as a Reese's Cup. Or spread it on a brown-rice cake & sprinkle with a little sea salt. It's also good in Asian-style recipes that call for peanuts or peanut butter. Satay chicken, pad thai noodles, my version of cold sesame noodles, etc.

    It's clearly not as yummy as real peanut butter (I'm a fan of Crazy Richard's chunky without sugar) but when getting pounds off it definitely has a place in my pantry.

    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.

    It is the only PB I use anymore. I use it as a mix and a spread.

    Big PB2 fan. Chocolate and regular. Goes good with honey and dark chocolate chips on sandwich thins, awesome in Greek yogurt with some chopped bananas, good in protein smoothies, mixed with granola, or just on a spoon☺️

    I use peanut powder (bought some no doubt overpriced version from WF, since I couldn't find the PB2 when I looked in my non WF grocery) and enjoy it.

    I don't really like the texture of peanut butter (I like whole peanuts, though), so it works for me for how I like to use it, mainly in a smoothie or some other recipe. (Yes, I know admitting I'm not that into peanut butter is a heresy in these parts.)

    I love pb2, but I don't mix it with water. Usually a nut milk or sugar free syrup, which seems to help get the taste and texture closer to the real thing. In smoothies and stuff though it's my favorite!!
