Anyone try high protein peanut butter
Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has tried the high protein peanut butters? I've seen a few on Amazon and just wondered if they are worth it. Most have around the same carbs as regular peanut butter (the SF kind) but more protein. I think one was called whey peanut butter. There were ones by Nutty by Nature, Buff Bake and PB28. I like to use PB when making protein shake "cookies" or "fudge" and figure if I can get in more protein the better--but the stuff is expensive so I don't want to waste $$$$. Thanks!
I used PB2 while in weight loss because it tastes good and has less calories. I make a chicken in spicy peanut sauce and a thai chicken thigh dish, both of which have peanut butter. I substitute the pb2, and it tastes good. Now that I'm in maintenance, I'll probably switch back to regular peanut butter, but the PB2 helped keep the calories down during weight loss.
best wishes,
Carol
