    What do you do with powdered peanut butter?

    I have peanut butter mixed into porridge. Could I put a spoonful of this powder in to get the same effect but for alot less calories?

      Yes.
      I use Pb2 (a peanut butter powder) in sweet potato brownies, in smoothies and make peanut butter to go on pancakes, bananas, toast, whatever... try it out a few different ways and see what you like?

      I make a killer Thai peanut sauce with it. Just make sure to compensate with a little more liquid -- in porridge, maybe a tablespoon or two more water or milk.

      I get it just for my porridge. Delicious with a bit of jam for PB&J porridge.

      I pretty much just use it for a cottage cheese and greek yogurt mix in.

      Would you be willing to share your recipe? I love Pad Thai and would like to try your peanut sauce with it using Shirataki noodles.

      The consistency/mouthfeel won't be the same as regular peanut butter but I have used in in oatmeal. Also in smoothies and pasta recipes, basically anything but sandwiches!

      My fiance eats PB2 out of a bowl, haha. He loves that stuff. I like to use it in peanut butter banana smoothies/chia pudding.

      I just put some PB2 in my oatmeal this morning for the first time and I really liked it. I liked it better than conventional peanut butter.

      I sometimes mix it with my protein shakes or use it in my brownie batter. Hubby puts it in his oatmeal and overnight oats.

      I also put it in my oatmeal and in shakes. You could try adding water to the powder for a spread. I haven't done so myself.

      Old fashioned PB&J for me.

      It works great mixed in with Greek yogurt or as an addition to overnight oats.

      For the yogurt: I add 2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup of Fage nonfat Greek yogurt with 2 squeezes of Splenda Zero and a tiny bit of water. This has 110 calories, 10g carbs, 2g fat, 17g protein. It's like peanut butter mousse, soooo yummy and works great as a dip for apples.

      I add it to my overnight oats and make PBJ oats in the AM with local jams. Not helping my sugar addiction but it makes me immensely happy.
      I also add it to my peanut butter flavored protein powder to make it takes that much more peanut-ey.

      I don't use it but I would to dip apple slices in

      I've found that for making a spread or dip for apples, that either sugar free maple syrup or sugar free apple sauce are tastier and give a better texture than water.

      I don't really measure (I weigh), I just wing it to get the texture I want.

      I use it in anything that I would normally use peanut butter in or on. Tastes the same :smile:

      Steel Cut Oats, yogurt, protein shake, dip for fruit, "syrup" for pancakes, IN pancakes.

      Still have a bag of PB2 somewhere in my cupboard. Should throw it out.

      Bought it over a yr ago just to try it. Didn't like it. Prefer real peanut butter which I eat in moderation. So, the cals are not an issue for me.

      I have chocolate pb2 that I have been using. I put it in my oatmeal.... Tastes like no bake cookies....

      I put 30 g of powdered peanut in my smoothie, for protein. I put 12 g of powdered peanut in my yogurt, for protein. The peanut flavor helps, too. I read of adding peanut powder to a chocolate protein shake, and am intrigued enough to consider doing it. I like whole peanuts, too.

      I've also sprinkled it over toast with banana when I don't have the cals for "real" peanut butter.

      So those of you that put it in their porridge do you mix it with water first or just sprinkle it on and stir it though?
      and
      For the overnight oats again do you just sprinkle it on as you layer yoghurts and fruit and oatmeal

      @acebanditcat when I use it with my overnight oats recipe I just add it to the mix and shake it with everything else (sounds like we make our overnight oats differently).

      PB2 is bomb in oatmeal, on English muffins, in microwave mug cakes, on a PB and j sandwich, on salads (really watered down) and also is great just on a spoon

      I just sprinkle the PB2 on the oatmeal just as if it were Nestle Quik powder (hubby's flavouring of choice).

      I use PB2 in my protein shakes/smoothies. Haven't tried it in other ways but maybe I should!

      i just mixed a teaspoon of chocolate PB2 with a half cup of cottage cheese, and it was amazing.

      I'm obviously missing something or am looking at the wrong database entries... But there's only a 50 calorie difference between 20g of regular peanut butter and 20g of pb2. A 500g jar of peanut butter is $5, a 453g jar of pb2 at the store here is $20, all this for a measly 50 calories. What am i missing here?

      The comparative serving size will be quite different between the two.

      20 grams of peanut butter is about 1 1/2 tablespoons.

      20 grams of PB2 (reconstituted) is more than 3 tablespoons.
