PB2 Question

How comparable is PB2 to say like Jiff? I use peanut butter with apple slices before I go to the gym & peanut butter is so high in fat & calories. Just wondering if the taste is comparable to regular peanut butter.

I have used PB2.  It does not have the same "gelatinously smooth" texture as regular peanut butter.  I prefer to use it in cooking.  However the taste is quite similar.  It is also healthier than store bought brands like Jiff.  I personally think it is worth a try.  I have friends who love it.  By the way there is a chocolate PB2 available (which I have not tried yet). 

It's partially defatted so you lose the thickness and mouthfeel of regular PB (taste it's peanut butter but not texture) I prefer it as a mix in for shakes http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2012/01/girl- scout-cookie-combat-2012.html and yogurt and dips things like that.

PB2 & Chocolate PB2 is good in stuff like protein shakes and in oatmeal. 

Thanks for responding! Yeah I wouldn't use it for shakes or cooking. I just use peanut butter for my apple slices so I guess this wouldn't be best for me.

That is crazy that I just saw your post.  We just got home from the grocery store where I purchased PB2 based on the suggestions from another post.  OMG!  Amazing.  Tastes the same and is 85% less fat calories.  All you do is mix 2 tablespoons of PB2 with 1 tablespoon water and whola!  Peanut butter.  Same consistency, everything! 

To put it in perspective:

2 Tablespoons of Jiff Peanut Butter has:

 -210 calories

-17g fat

-6g carbs

-3g sugars

-8g protein

2 tablespoons of PB2 has:

- 45 calories

-1.5g fat

-5g carbs

-1g sugars

-5g proteins

The price is just about $0.50 higher for PB2, but we have officially made the switch today!
