PB2

I eat it daily almost. It's peanut butter love with low cals. I make a spread out of it and use it on toast. I still eat the regular stuff too, but PB2 lets me satisfy the PB craving daily without having to give up my almonds as a trade off!

Pros:

1. Tastes a lot like peanut butter. Much more so than spreads that use peanut flour
2. 85% fat free .... great when you can't fit the real thing into your day

Cons:

1. Texture ...mix the powder with water
2. Pricey - I have to buy on-line (Netrition.com)

I use PB2 in oatmeal, also as a dip for apples. Great on toaster waffles too.

I find regular PB2 to be reaaaaaaaaaaaaally salty. Choc PB2 is good though.

I like it when I just want the PB flavor without all the fat/cals. I put it in protein shakes or mix it with greek yogurt. Not such a fan of it when I want a PB sandwich or something like that. Then I use the real thing.

I love it. I add it to my Herbalife shakes, to make a "peanut butter cookie" I have also dusted it on bananas and apples. I haven't tried it mixed with water yet though. They have a bunch of recipes on their site for cool stuff to do with it. I do like the taste a lot. Oh yeah, I forgot-It is so GOOD in reg yogurt and greek yogurt!!!

Nice peanutty taste. Does not really 'replace' PB in a sandwich 100%, but is flexible to mix with water / a little oil / greek yogurt etc. Nice as a fruit/veggie dip done a bit soft with water.

I buy 'peanut flour' at netrition on line. Cheaper, don't think it had as much sugar added (tastes that way) and I prefer it for using in stir fry sauces.

It does give a good peanut taste, but without the oil, the texture isn't very close. When I've used it for a sandwich, I've usually added a small amount of oil to help with the texture. Still less calories than RF peanut butter.

has anyone tried mixing it with plain greek yogurt. I'm ordering some on Monday and I have been thinking about what to mix it with that is zero fat and less sugar and plain yogurt seems like it may be an option...

I have not, but I bet it would be delish!

I LOVE PB2, and the chocolate one as well. They are both fantastic in my protein shakes....makes them taste yummy!

There are a TON of yummy recipes for it if you look on line

I'm so lucky...my local nutrition store carries it. (7.19 a jar) I got the plain and the chocolate. Love the taste, the consistency not so much, but for the deficit in calories I'll deal with the consistency

I just found this and I love it! So, some things you should know:

1. If you are expecting it to be exactly like peanut butter, you will be disappointed
2. It still tastes a lot like peanut butter despite point #1
3. The consistency is a little strange, you might have to experiment on how much or little water to add to get the texture you desire. I actually like making it a little thinner than regular peanut butter when using on toast or sandwich. I make it a lot thinner than regular peanut butter if I'm dipping apples, bananas or celery in it
4. 190 calories for 2Tblsp regular PB, 45 calories 2Tblsp PB2...you can't argue with that!

I also bought the chocolate one. Haven't used it yet but thought maybe I would try it as an ice cream topping or go get the Yonana machine that I've been wanting.

I use it for my daily "Peanut Butter and Jelly" Smoothie.

Regular Peanut butter is too hard on my stomach - it totally repeats on me. PB2 is great.

I love it. It tastes a whole lot like peanut butter to me. But, take that from a guy who hadn't had peanut butter in a couple of years before I got the PB2! So, it may be more magical to me than to others.

I recommend using more water to mix it then the instructions say. Otherwise it's too gritty. And give it a few minutes after mixing to actually dissolve into the water.

I also mix it with low calorie jam to make a sandwich. If you use the Sara Lee 45 calorie per slice bread you can have a PBJ for practically nothing on your daily calorie allocation.

That's what I do. I'm not a huge fan of plain greek yogurt, so I put the choc pb2 in it. I like it a bit sweeter so I also add a packet of Stevia in the Raw. Pretty good that way.

On the Bell Plantation website. They have a bunch of ideas for the PB2! I haven't tried any yet, because I got lazy, but apparently there are many uses for PB2!
