PB2 Who Knew?



Recommended Posts

I am 11 months out of RNY bypass and have done well. About 5 months ago my nut suggested PB2. I bought it, tasted it dry, and never opened it again. Yesterday, at work, someone on WW was talking about it and said you add two tbsp. to one tbsp. of Water and mix! I ran home and read the fine print, and there it was! Mixed it up, tasted it, and very tolerable! I can substitute it for the real thing and lots less calories and fat!!

Now my only problem will be finding ways to eat it without doing it just for an excuse to eat the carbs that might go with it! (carbs are still my nemesis). I know some will suggest apples (25 good carbs), but I need to stay away from the bread and pretzels..............anyone have suggestions on how to use this now that I've refound it? (not In smoothies, please).

I'd love to know how others are using it? How is the chocolate version?

Thanks,

Freelee

Prior to surgery, I added it to plain Greek yogurt. Makes a great dip for apples and celery.

It was the chocolate one. I personally couldn't taste the chocolate flavor.

I eat my almond butter with strawberries, the carbs are lower.

I used the chocolate version, add a tsp of vanilla, then lick it from a baby spoon as a bedtime treat. It tastes like cookie batter. YUM!

That's the way I like it--aahh huh.

Sometimes I will add it to my Quest vanilla shake. It's yummy and not as overwhelmingly sweet at the Quest Peanut Butter itself.

Enjoy your peanut buttery search! :)

I mix mine into complementary flavors of Greek yogurt (chocolate, salted caramel, honey, apple pie, banana, etc.).

I am allowed old fashion oatmeal and mix the powder in the oatmeal. I have also used the Torani syrups instead of Water and mixed it in my reduced carb pancake batter.

Safeway carries apple slices that are 30 calories a bag and 7 grams of carbs. That may be a nice alternative to a full size apple and apple slices go great with PB2.

chocolate version is delicious!!! However after buying it realized Peanut Butter is a trigger for me!! Even PB2! Especially chocolate and peanut butter. If you can enjoy in moderation go for it!

I purchased both; PB2 and the chocolate PB2. I've tasted both, mostly in my shakes, but they do put a nice spin on just plain chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry shakes.

I will have to try it in other things as I move into regular foods.

      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.
