Has anyone used PB2 Peanut Butter? How does it taste compared to low fat PB? I see it is a powder and quite pricey, but I dont want to spend the money if it doesnt taste anything like real peanut butter! If you make a PBJ sandwich with the sandwich thins bread, do you just mix the powder in with your SF jelly or do you mix it with water first? Any ideas or comments on this would be great!
Thanks a bunch!

    Do you mix it with water to give it the peanut butter consistancy or do you mix it with straight into jelly?

    I add it to my afternoon, pre-run proteing shakes. 1 packet of Lean Body Chocolate protein powder, 2 TBSP of powdered peanut butter, 1 large banana. Blend with ice and water. Feels like I'm having quite a treat but it counts as my meal.

    You can also mix 2 TBSP with 1 TBSP of water and spread it on celery or a banana.

    For a PB & J, make sure to mix it with water first. I mix it up in a measuring cup, then spread onto whatever you want! I think it tastes just like regular peanut butter.

    It's not exactly like real peanut butter, but OH BOY is it good. Instead of water I use a tablespoon of milk or almond milk to make it creamier. On sandwiches it tastes great! And in smoothies... and baked goods... and yogurt... and on ice cream. I love it.

    So far I've only used it in powdered form, in yogurt and over ice cream...but it's really good! I've stuck with "real" peanut butter when I want a sandwich/toast so I don't know how PB2 compares that way.

    I have a great recipe for "Cookie Dough Balls" that uses PB2. They're made with raw oats, and a couple other yummy ingredients. The recipe i use only makes 3 balls, which I like so that I don't eat a panful!

    I also add it to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt... Pretty much anything aside from reconstituted PB. :)

    You can PM me for the recipe if you're interested.

    THAT CRAP IS NASTY!!

    Just eat regular peanut butter, and deal with the fat. It's healthy fats anyway... and it's DELISH.

    I love regular and chocolate...definitely mix it with water, I use just a tad less than a TBSP because I want it thicker. But so very good!
