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.

    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.

    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'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:

    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.
