2 tablespoons gets you:
45 Calories
5g carbs
5g protein

Never tried it but bought it tonight. Anyone had this before?

[trickyB]

PB2, yes I don't use it very often but it is a nice low calorie way to get a little PB flavor.

[kimm4]

Oh my goodness no. If I had to give up real PB I'd kill myself!

[bethanyraylmart]

I love this!!! It's perfect for smoothies

No fat?

Got me thinking...so often the #'s dont add up...can someone enlighten an ol foggie?

Seems to me if there are 5g of C and 5g of P @ 4 cal per/g then there are 40 cals in those two macros

If there are 1.5g of fat and thats 12-13 cals...then seems to me the total is 52-53 cal...not 45...??

I tried it. Never buy it again. Some fat is good for you.

I'm looking for some enlightenment as well. Seems to be mixed crowd on this one. I was thinking of using it in my shakes.

If you add it to things it imparts a peanut flavor. Pretty useless on its own.

[MoldyGopher]

Rinse some celery and sprinkle it on.

[hope27]

I use it in smoothies, for flavor.

[grubman]

I looked at it in the store, the value, moneywise and nutritionally, doesn't come close to regular natural peanut butter. Waste of money IMHO.

Not sure what you guys are talking about when it comes to adding it to shakes and such...i add regular peanut butter to mine...mixes up with no problem and stays mixed until I drink it?

I like to stir a few spoons into greek yogurt (only 2% f.age) along with some vanilla jello pudding powder and a little liquid splenda

turns into a peanut butter tasting pseudo cheesecake if you get the mixture right and its got pretty good macros

you can add some whey concentrate to it if the flavor isn't obnoxious

The difference between 2 tbs of PB2 and real PB is around 150 calories. When dieting that difference means I have 150 more calories to eat. That is the attraction.

Sounds tasty Halfway.

I like it for a little pb flavor when I can't fit the real thing, the powder is also easier to mix into cold oats and Grk yogurt as mentioned above.

Groupon has 6 lbs on sale for $40 just ordered mine that's way cheaper than you will ever see it in the store ($5 for 6oz here)...Great deal if you like it and can find somewhere to squirrel away a massive amount of powdered pb.

(only 2% f.age)

ONLY 2% F A G E, the finest.

Well for me when dieting beef > peanut oil. You can use your fat cals on whatever you want. I know I will.

When I was dieting sometimes I would just cram a spoon of the powder in my mouth


That Groupon deal is awesome returning the two jars (12oz) I bought yesterday for $12.

[Mr. Someday]

I eat natural PB, almond butter and cashew butter for the healthy fats. If you are dieting and looking for a flavoring, this sounds decent, but for a normal diet it lacks the best and most vital aspect of the nut...the healthy fat.

Nomnomnom. You do some strange stuff at the end. I think I currently have 14 kinds of mustard in the fridge.

I bought a monstro tub of PB2 at costco.

Just so I dont give the wrong impression ive always got 3-4 pounds of nuts and 3-4 nut butters in the fridge.

Right now its that sunbutter that has me going. Can spread it ao thin on toast and get good flavor.

Almond butter is the one that is the most meh imo, how can almonds taste so amazing and the butter be so bland?

Need JTBNY in herr with his latest protein PB, that stuff is deliscious.

I think they count the 2 grams of fiber in as carbs, but they don't count the calories, since you don't digest it. I've often wondered why fiber gets counted as carbohydrates, but it seems to be a standard practice.
