I'd be interested in trying PB2, but only know that it's used as a flavor additive, e.g., maybe a spoon or two mixed into other ingredients. But what about as Peanut Butter? Can it be mixed with little enough Water so that it's spreadable like real peanut butter? If so, is the taste reasonably like the real thing? I imagine it would be a dismal disappointment, but I could be wrong. How about mixing it with a small amount of Torani SF chocolate 'syrup?' Or another Syrup flavor that's compatible with peanut taste?

I actually got this when it first came out pre-sleeve. I tried it and also had people at the office try and it does taste like Peanut Butter and is spreadable. I wasn't one to crave Peanut Butter all the time or p.b. Is my fave flavor, but I like it.. And PB2 tastes like creamy peanut butter without the fat aftertaste I guess?

I never liked it very much. However, I don't really crave Peanut Butter so when I do want some I just have a serving of the real thing. A lot of people like it so it's worth a try

This is funny. I feel like the girl-in-front-of-the-curtain on "Peanut Butter Dating Game."

@@goplay94123, you sound reasonable and I have faith in your opinion.

@@Miss Mac, every post of yours that I've ever read has been just right, not to mention often witty and smile-making. I'd tend to go for your "dismal" assessment, as that's what I feel in my bones, but how does it reconcile with your "Like" on GoPlay's response? Were you liking her well-considered comment and style rather than the content?

@@glitter eyes, you are sane.

I suppose I'll by some and see what I shall see. Thank you. I may not seem to be saying it, but you've all helped. You led me to a decision and away from indecision over a minor matter.

I like mixing it in both vanilla and chocolate Protein shakes. I've mixed it with Water to make it spreadable and eat it with apple slices. Not as heavenly as real Peanut Butter, but it's a decent substitute.

But here's the craziest thing I did with it..... Since PB2 is basically Peanut Butter with the fat removed, what happens if you add the fat back in? So instead of Water, I mixed it with coconut oil. OMG it was good! coconut oil is supposed to be good for you, so hey, why not? And since real peanut butter is banned from my house because I love it too much to ever stop eating it, The coconut peanut butter is an option when I start jonesin.

I've just put it in chocolate Protein shakes and chocolate pudding. It's great in those. I would imagine the taste would be OK mixed with Water - but the texture would be way off.

I like it in my chocolate shake for a Peanut Butter cup taste - I haven't mixed it with Water yet, but my PCP does, she likes it with apple or celery as a snack.

I am not a huge pb fan, but sometimes it is just what is wanted.

I love PB2 and have actually been using it for a long time. It's got a different texture, but I like the taste. Post op I have been putting it in my Protein shakes. My favorite is to add some chocolate PB2 plus a couple tablespoons of Decaf coffee and a 1/2 banana. For me this takes the Protein shake from something I have to choke down to something I can happily sip because the flavor is so much better.

When i want something closer to real PB i mix half water half olive oil to make it more like the real thing.

I was thinking of PB2 in terms of varying shakes, but I don't even use shakes. If I end up having revision surgery, I'd hope to need them only for a short time, but it may turn out to be for the long haul, since I'd be revising to sleeve.

There may have been another topic where I had cause to mention something, but I'll say it now as an aside. My very first taste of Peanut Butter occurred when I was approx mid-20's. The first thought was, "Eureka! I've found it. I shall call it 'peanut butter'."

So you all can thank me for the real thing.

Oh, almost forgot. I googled "pb2" earlier and found something not thrilling. Never heard of the site or the babe before...no idea if she knows her stuff.

I could get it down and would eat it if I needed to but in my opinion it is not even close to "real peanut butter".

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
