PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter

[chica 2]

I read about this on a couple of threads about Protein Shakes and others about can you eat Peanut Butter, but I wanted to share this with everyone who might not be aware of it. I just tried it today and it's surprisingly good! :crying:

Not quite as smooth and creamy (and therefore, fatty!) as regular peanut butter, but for the fat and calorie savings, I think it's worth it if you're a peanut butter fan. You mix it with a little Water till smooth (or throw it directly into your Protein shake) and use it just like regular peanut butter. It has 54 calories and 2.8 grams of fat for 2T verses 190 calories and 16 grams of fat for 2T of regular peanut butter. :thumbup:

I haven't seen it in stores, but you can order it at Bell Plantation - PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - Home. Also, while they don't have samples, they do have a money-back guarantee.

Oh, the irony. I JUST got some PB2 last week. The difference in calories is definitely worth the trade off in texture. However, just add a smidge more Water, and it's creamier. Great for dipping apples and celery in! Haven't tried it in a Protein Shake yet as I don't do Protein Shakes very often.

Ooh, good to know. I'll definitely add more Water next time!:thumbup:

I ordered some, I just hope I can use it to make satay sauce. Four jars is a lot, though.

[chica 2]

YUM! Will you at least tell me how to make satay sauce? Please??? :thumbup:

[travelgirl 3]

It is a lot. However, I've showed it to a couple of friends of mine, and even mixed up a bit and let them try it, and I've sold 2 of my jars already. Do a side-by-side comparison with the nutrition labels with a couple of friends, let them sample, and I bet they'll take a jar off your hands...

I really just about wet myself when I did the side by side comparison with regular Peanut Butter. And that's saying NOTHING about all the trans fat in regular Peanut Butter, which is AWFUL for our cholesterol.

At fifty calories we might find a way to use it all, I think.

You can find a billion recipes for satay sauce on the net. We like it on chicken.

The PB2 website has a few recipes for satay, too, if I'm not mistaken.

I LOVE it!!

I mix it in my oatmeal.

Put it on toast, apples, and bananas.

I make sugar free choc pudding with PB2 ... it's like a Peanut Butter cup. Cool whip on top - yummy!

Candle...a Peanut Butter cup sounds good. How much PB2 do you add, and dry or mixed?

[Candle 11]

With one package of sugar free choc pudding mix, I blend in anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons of dry PB2. (then the regular 2 cups of milk)

WOW!! This really sounds good... Just googled PB2 and their home office is only about 100 miles from where I live!!!! I order some too, thanks for the info ladies...

I've been using it for months. Good stuff. I haven't been all that creative. I just mix it in my Protein Drinks.< /p>

I received mine yesterday, and although I was grumpy about the cost, it is worth buying four jars. I can see that we will use them. Expecially at the great taste for the low cost in calories.:thumbs_up:
