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.0

I've also sprinkled it over toast with banana when I don't have the cals for "real" peanut butter.1
-
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).0

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 spoon1
-
I just sprinkle the PB2 on the oatmeal just as if it were Nestle Quik powder (hubby's flavouring of choice).0
-
I use PB2 in my protein shakes/smoothies. Haven't tried it in other ways but maybe I should!0
-
i just mixed a teaspoon of chocolate PB2 with a half cup of cottage cheese, and it was amazing.0

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?0

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.1 -

20 grams of peanut butter is about 1 1/2 tablespoons.
20 grams of PB2 is more than 3 tablespoons.
I thought it'd be something like that. So more flavour/quantity bang for your buck.1 -

And volume! If you're into making a lot of something to top your apples with like I am, PB2 is going to give you more peanut butter to cover your apples with for the calories.3 -
I literally eat the powder by the spoon full with a glass of almond milk ... hahaha. Oops0

I use two tablespoons (13g) in my porridge for 45 cals. I would probably use 20g of PB if using the full fat version for 124 cals. So a big saving for me. It lasts me long enough for it to be a reasonable splurge.
And I weigh my oats into a bowl, add PB2, mix it up, add milk and whack in the micro without stirring the wet mix.0 -

That does it, I'm going to buy a jar today! It's been ages since I've had it, and can't remember the taste and volume it added compared to regular Peanut butter.
I add 20g of peanut butter in my smoothies everyday, and it it is a micro amount and i can barely detect the taste, which is a slight waste of 120ish calories.

Yeah the powder is really good for something you want to add that peanutty taste to but won't need much of the creamy texture. A lot more bang for the buck
Smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, even works for Asian style peanut sauce. Then I save the real deal for stuff you really need that dense creaminess for. 0 -
I'm a recent PB2 convert, and I was instantly hooked. I prefer the chocolate one.1

I add a tbs of salted caramel quest to mine to top fruit, like sliced apples, with a sprinkle of granola.2

Anybody sprinkled it dry on chicken before cooking?0
