    Try PB2. So many less calories and fat and it is really good. Only 45 calories a serving.

    I know this might be a dumb question, but what is PB2?

    PB2 is a powdered peanut butter product that basically has all the oils/fats squeezed out of it. It's low cal and has a ton of pb flavor. You can use it in a variety of ways... I use a single tbsp (23 cals) of the chocolate variety in my protein shakes and I absolutely love it. More info here :

    You can order it off the site or use the locator to see if any stores in your vicinity carry it. Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Bell Plantation in any way, just a big fan :bigsmile:

    Okay, I have a REALLY stupid question. I am like 98% sure of the answer, but I just want to ask someone.

    Is the serving size when it's mixed with water or when it's in powdered form? I think once I measured it after I mixed it and it was only a tablespoon after it was mixed together? Unless I measured wrong.

    ^^^THIS^^^ I eat it M-F with a 1/2 cup of oats. Makes a great breakfast and gives me good energy for lifting.

    I'm going to try the PB2 though. Sounds awesome!

    Another low calorie alternative to regular peanut butter is Better 'n Peanut Butter. I came across this as an ingredient on skinnytaste.com

    The fats and oils in peanut butter are good for you...

    I eat peanut butter every single day. I just watch my portions and make sure it fits within my calorie goal.

    2 TBL of the powder is one serving.

    Peanutbutter is good for you (good fats, good source of protein and fiber). I don't suggest eating the whole jar in one sitting, but why all the talk like it's really bad?

    PB2 is fabulous! It comes in regular & chocolate peanut butter flavors. I love to dip aplle slices in it or a banana. 45 cals/2 TBSP vs 190? I'm all over that! I order it online.

    Fair point. Although I use it as a low cal flavoring additive in my shakes and not as a peanut butter substitute per se.
