PB2 - What is it and where do you get it?  What are the nutrition facts?

Does anybody know?  Any help would be great.  I see that some people add it to shakes and food, I am guessing its some kinda peanut butter.

Thanks Michelle

You guessed correct.  It is dried, powdered peanut butter.  I get mine at Netrition.com.  The stats will be there with the product.  Tasty stuff.  They even have a chocolate-peanut butter flavor.

Here's a link to the PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter.

Here are the nutrition facts:

You can Google PB2 for more brands as some of them I checked out via Google had more protein than the one I've linked you to here.

It is great!  Both flavors

Powdered Peanut Butter?  Are you serious, what is this?  Hungry-Girl raved about it a while back and I saw it on a blog a few weeks ago, so I got my paws on some.

"PB2 has 75% less fat, high protein and still maintains the full flavor of regular peanut butter.  Essentially, the oil is squeezed out of roasted peanuts and what remains is powdered peanut butter, with a touch of sugar (adds MM)." 

You can add a touch of water and reconstitute the PB2 into the thickness of peanut butter as you please, or as many have discovered, adding just a touch to a protein shake for that rich peanut buttery flavor.  Or making recipes - desserts, peanut-sauces for chicken - all sorts of stuff!  Damn.  I'm hungry.

I have to admit, I was excited by the idea of this product because I despise typical peanut butter.  I do not like the texture of "creamy" peanut butter (Skippy is my idea of Oral Hell) but I love peanuts.  The wheels in my head are turning as I sit here trying to think of ways to creatively use this product in cooking for the family, besides figuring out the righ****er/powder ratio for sandwiches so the kids don't freak, because they do and will.  (I'll let you know.)

My first thought, immediately - was Peanut Butter Fudge.  That's right Beth, put the fat RIGHT BACK WHERE THEY DONE TOOK IT OUT. 

Uh, probably not what this product is meant for.  It's obviously a "low-fat" dietary option.   

I am not a fat-gram watcher, but I watch everything else - including sugar - and it bothers me slightly that this product has added a gram of sugar to each serving.  It's not much, and for the kids, it's hardly anything in the scope of what they're exposed to - so I'm not going to ***** about it.  (A completely sugar-free version would be super appreciated and purchased.)

I opened the container and snorted the powdery goodness.  I'm a nut.  I got nuts up my nose.


It smells really, really good.  It's just plain peanuts.  Yum.  I'm not going to tell you that I licked my finger and dipped it in because that would be very immature and disgusting.  Then, I took a spoon full, and added some plain water and mixed it up, like the label suggested, for "peanut butter."

 

I hate peanut "butter."  I do.  But this, I was really enticed.  The texture was smoother and lighter, and I could add more water to make it thinner if I wanted to, but I didn't.  I got it in a big gloopy spoonful and tasted.  Yum.

It is SO begging me to make all sorts of fudge protein shakes, peanut sauce for shiritaki noodles, or just plain ole PB for sammiches for the kids.  I could easily use this for regular peanut butter.  We already use about half natural peanut butter, but this would be a good alternative even to THAT especially for my boy, who glops about 1/4 cup of the stuff on a slice of bread if left to his own devices.  Keep in mind, one serving of typical peanut butter has about 180 calories and 16 grams of fat, even if its good fat, it's fat.

• Pros:  75% less fat than typical oil containing peanut butters, good for recipes, smells really good, not too bad up your nose.
• Cons:  Hard to blow out of your nostril once stuck in there a while, that pesky one gram of sugar per serving.
• Rating:  Pouchworthy (Kidworthy!)

LOL, huh I love it, very nice.  Now I gotta go get me some of it!  I know I am going to be tempted to sniff it but I really dont wanna have to try and get it back out my nose!!!!!  Mouth watering, thanks so much for the info.
Thanks Michelle

I'm so getting some. My daughter eats a pbj every day for lunch and when she comes home, she makes an ensure shake with peanut butter and banana. Every. Day. I don't know. She's weird. I've tried to get her to eat other stuff, but she's 16. What can I say? She's super skinny, so I think the fat and protein are good for her, but this stuff right here would probably be even better!

Yum. Thanks!

I just bought some - I actually got a 14 pack of trial protein powders and a jar of PB2 with shipping for about $27.  The pb2 I was really iffy about because I am not a big pb fan to begin with - however - first thing I did was open it and sniff it too!!! Then of course I had to finger taste it - and man its good!!!  I am preparing to start my pre-op diet in less than two weeks so I am accumulating proteins and other things to add to them in advance.  The pb2 was $3.99 for the container and its pretty much the same size as the regular pb jars.  The only con is that it tastes so good everybody else in my house wants it instead of the real pb!!!!

I ordered 2 of the PB2 and 2 of the chocolate kind and man i cant wait to get them.  I am glad i asked what it was, I kept seeing people write that they add it to shakes and things and thought to myself what is that?  Now I know and now I cant wait to try it!!!
