PB2 Users??

I'm wondering if this would be basically the same (sans sugar and salt) as the PB2. ?? I've never used it, but on my special site I found this 2# bag of this for only 8 bucks... so I'm hoping it'd be about the same. Currently, I use a natural peanut butter that has nearly no salt at all and is sugar free. Would this be about the same without the fat?

    Can't see the ingredients label, but since they're calling it "peanut FLOUR," I doubt it's the same thing as PB2, which is dehydrated (powdered) peanut butter. I think you'd have to read the ingredient label to be sure.

    I found my answer. I think I'm getting it. 32 oz. for 8.79 is too good to pass up. :)

    Holy cow, that's a good price, and the nutrition label is a very close match to PB2 (which I happen to have in my desk drawer at the moment). I'm tempted to get a bag myself!

    Hmmm...I used the Amazon link you shared, and for me the price is $12.70 for a 2# bag, plus $7.70 for shipping. Still not bad...it just makes it $20 for 2 pounds. Wonder why my price was higher?

    because the other site isn't what I linked. I found it much cheaper on iHerb.com :) 4.00 flat rate shipping, and it's 8.79 for a 2# bag. If you've never ordered from there, I can pass along a code that will save you 5 bucks too. :)

    The chocolate PB2 mixed in a small cup of low-fat vanilla ice cream is amazing. The chocolate hardens like chocolate chips. It's an amazing lower-calorie treat.
