PB 2-"worth it"
Hi guys,
I have some cinnamon protein powder. It only tastes good in oatmeal. I found that if I doctored the shake with peanut butter, it tasted really good but the peanut butter was a whopping 190 calories (i.e. Crazy Richards just having salt, oil, and peanuts. NO sugar).
PB 2 is at a grocery store near me. Is it tastey? Do you think it would "fix" the shake like PB? Does it actually have a good and strong peanut taste?
Normally I shy away from shakes cuz they dont give you the full feeling, but it is summer now so I dont think Groomy will be wanting hot oatmeal for breakfast (or hot anything for that matter). Typically I like cold things in the summer and maybe shakes will be coming online (although my plan doesnt recommend them after the 2 week).

Actually, that's a great idea. I haven't tried it but I am going to, now. The jar provides directions on reconstituting the powder with water.
Since I'm so newbie, I am still puréeing and learning my food tolerances post op, but I am going to try this out with chicken. Yum!

OMG! Thank you! Thank you!
I am totally going to make thai sauce this week!
And thanks for the encouragement. I bought some, stuck it in the shake after skating and it was JUST AS GOOD as the peanut butter. Actually, it was better because I didnt have to stare at butterscotch colored oil droplets floating on the top of my shake (which I think looks gross..and then I think about the calories in each oil droplet, whether I will burn it off or whether I will gain weight....and then my shake is even worse tasting than when I started!!!)
But this is yum
Also, I tried 1/4 of a teaspoon of the powder n my tongue. Very good too. It kind of dissolves into its own peanut butter on one's tongue.

I have always loved Peanut Butter. So when I read about PB2, I too was skeptical. It sounds too good to be true, right? And then I tried it.
Oh. My. GOD!
It is the real deal. All the taste, good protein, very little fat. I put it in shakes, yogurt, etc. my only problem now is, my hubby and my stepson have discovered it and use it in their post workout shakes... So now I need to buy it in bulk! (It's a good problem to have!)
You can buy a relatively small container (6.5 oz) online from Amazon, if you can't find it in a local store. Enjoy!
