Was thinking of ordering some. What does everyone thinK? I absolutely love peanut butter so I am thinking this would work nicely. Can u make a bunch of it ahead and store it in jar? How is the chocolate one?

    I use something similar called Just Great Stuff and I give it 2 thumbs up. I just make 2 tablespoons at a time, it's fast and easy.

    I love it! It's definitely not as rich as regular peanut butter, but it goes well in smoothies and rehydrates nicely. I think my favorite thing to do with it is to mix 1 Tbsp of it in 2 Tbsp plain greek yogurt and dip apples in that...it's excellent! I highly recommend it if you have a peanut butter addiction but you need to keep your fat in the lower range. My favorite is actually the chocolate.

    The chocolate one is just cocoa powder mixed with the powdered peanut butter, so you can make that yourself.

    I like the PB2 but only for certain things. Like I mix it in my granola because it won't make it moist, but I don't see the sense of using it on a sandwich since it makes so little compared to a regular jar of peanut butter. (plus I have no issue with spending 200 calories on peanut butter)

    Very tasty... can't make it in advance. It only stays good for a few days once you reconstitute it. I recommend it highly!

    I use it in my shakes and would probably try baking or as suggested in yogurt as dip, but i did mix it up and try it on bread and ill just stick to Jif for that!

    I haven't tried it in things, but made a peanut butter sandwich with it. It's a little different but it's alright. I used cold water the first time making it but it was better with warm. Thumb sideways I guess.

    I love it...on apples, waffles or just by itself for a protein boost!

    Dipping my apples in it right now and it is much better with apples than on bread! It's very good that way! I will change to a thumbs up on apples!

    I love both regular and chocolate - but only for some things.

    I use it dry as an apple dipper, or sprinkled on banana slices.
    I add the powder to oatmeal or a protein shake.

    But for peanut butter sandwich, or for a more decadent fruit dipper - I just eat the real thing from a jar. :) I just figure it into my calories for the day.
