Anyone that knows me, knows about my peanut butter o b s e s s i o n. It’s seriously the greatest food in the world. I often get asked the question “Is peanut butter good for me?” The answer is yes, peanut butter is very nutritious! The problem I have, and I think many other people have, is actually having one serving size of the stuff. 2 tablespoons!? Um.. Yeah.. I end up eating about 1/2 cup. Or maybe the whole jar? Whoops 🙂
This brings me to my greatest secret: PB2!!!
PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that has 85% less fat than peanut butter. You just mix it with water!
Peanut Butter vs PB2
Peanut Butter: 190 calories, 16 g fat, 7 g carbohydrates, 8 g protein, 3 g fiber, 0 mg sodium.
PB2: 45 calories, 1.5 g fat, 5 g carbohydrates, 5 g protein, 2 g fiber, 94 mg sodium.
PB2 is an excellent alternative if you are counting calories or are like me and can’t control yourself around normal peanut butter. PB2 is less sweet than normal peanut butter, but what you eat it with can really change that.
My favorite ways to eat PB2:
PB2 + honey + banana sandwich
PB2 + Natural Jelly sandwich
PB2 + Animal Crackers
PB2 + Pretzel Crisps
PB2 is also a GREAT topping on pancakes, banana bread, ice cream, or mixed in with smoothies! I’ve even used it as an icing before and it worked out great. I definitely recommend it if you’re a peanut butter lover!
I’ve thought about trying this.
You should! At least once!
Peanut butter 2?!?! Where can I find this and why are you so amazing!
Haha thanks! I usually get mine at Publix, but I bet you can find it at any grocery store!
omg! I definitely gonna try it! i haven’t heard about it before, thanks 🙂 can i get it in normal shops like tesco or asda? or do you buy it online?
Awesome! You’re welcome:) I can get pb2 pretty easily here in the US at local grocery stores. I’m not familiar with the stores you mentioned, but you can always order it online! Good luck!!
ok, Thank you for yr answer! :*
Yum, that peanut butter looks really good. I’ve never tried it – but I might have to now! 🙂 I am somewhat obsessed with peanut butter as well!
It’s very addicting! Let me know when you do!! 🙂
Have you tried almond spread? So delicious.
Yes, I have! I agree it’s very good. And slightly more nutritious than peanut butter 🙂
Have you ever tried natural peanut butter?
I have! I’m not super crazy about it, but that’s just me!
I understand. That’s exactly how I feel about that powdered peanut butter you like!
I love PB2!! It’s a little more of an intense taste than regular peanut butter, but I like it!
I definitely agree! Different taste and texture but still sooo good! You should try refrigerating it 🙂
Wow I thought I was the only one who can go through half a jar in one sitting. Thank you for this secret. I am going to try it.
You’re not alone! Haha. No problem. Let me know what you think!
One of my favorites for my smoothies!
Same! It adds the flavor without all the calories and fat. Too perfect!
I’ve always been eager to try this! I always see it on amazon and have been tempted to click on it, your review has made me see what I’m missing!Great post!
Thanks so much! It sounds a little iffy at first but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 🙂
