A few months ago I searched locally for PB2, and finally resorted to the internet, and have a package.....now the question is, how do you mix it with your Protein drinks? And, what else are people doing with the PB2 besides adding it to shakes?

I put it in an insulated, metal thermos with chocolate premier Protein Drink and agressivly shook it.......it tasted good, but I have sludge at the bottom of the container and lots of lumps in the drink........how are you all mixing it up?

Thanks!

I haven't tried in shakes yet. But when I do I think I will probably break out the blender. I enjoy the stuff "old school", just straight up reconstituted with water!! Yummm. I was told our local Walmart (in Dayton OH ) now carries PB2 in the aisle with the Peanut Butter. Keep checking! ( I bought mine online too)

What is PB2?

One of the best inventions since the wheel!!! LOL It is basically dehydrated Peanut Butter. They reduce all the oils out until you get a powder. That you reconstitute with Water. A two tablespoon serving has 45 calories and 1.5g of fat. I happen to have a jar of "reduced fat" peanut butter at home..It is 210 calories and 12g fat!!! No comparison. And I like the flavor. Some may not if they want the "full fat" peanut butter taste. But if you really, really like the taste of peanuts then you should give it a try!

For every 8oz of liquid (milk, water) add 2 tablespoons of PB2. 2 tablespoons is one serving of PB2. I add it to my chocolate Protein drinks every morning.

I think the best part of the PB2 in shakes is the lumps of PB2 you get. But if you don't like the lumps you can get a shaker bottle with the little wire ball. That seems to help break down the lumps.

Also I use it to make icing for my Protein cupcakes I make. If you want to check the recipe at here is the link: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/95285-protein-cupcakes-with-pb2-icing/page__hl__%2Bprotein+%2Bcupcakes

I may have put some PB2 on some frozen yogurt. I also have mixed a little jelly with it. Sometimes I eat it straight up with a s.f. Fudge pop. 7g. Protein small snack

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
