PB2: Perfect for Protein Shakes

[MNTiburon]

The CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) just did a write up endorsing PB2. They are not paid advertisers, but a non-profit consumer advocacy group focusing on nutrition. PB2 is a peanut butter powder that you mix with water. They've managed to extract almost all the peanut oil, yet retain 5g protein. It's completely natural as you can see from the ingredient list. I add this to my protein shakes and really adds to the taste. If you're sick of the whey flavor, love peanut butter but hate the high calories and fat this is your best bet.

Wow that's a lot cheaper and the nutritional value is identical. Can you make peanut butter with peanut flour by adding water?

[ErikTheElectric]

pretty good IMO. Just lacks the semi-sweetness that I get from my average natty PB. Sometimes I add about 1/2 tsp of stevia or packet of splenda to it. Does the trick.

Never tried this stuff before, but always wanted to add PB to shakes, but couldn't fit it in calorie wise def gonna give it a shot.

[joey628]

yeah you can, mix it with almond milk or water and then add a packet of splenda. tastes alright.

[Crazymix]

why in the world would you want to count cals?

If this wasn't a bodybuilding website where people want to get i shape and compete in competitions then I would totally agree with you.

That you for awareness. The peanut flours and extracts look very good. I'll be definitely placing an order.

But at $11 shipping for a 5lb bag, man! Anyone know of another place with cheaper shipping and same price? You guys looking at the 12% dark? I wonder if my grocer has peanut flour.

Trader Joe's had it but stopped selling it in January due to low sales. Can't remember the price but it was damn cheap. Nooooooo!

Ok I'm going to give this a try. Two pounds for $15 (includes shipping) not too bad. Has anyone tried this?

Trying adding some DaVinci Sugar Free (calorie free) Vanilla syrup. Makes it taste just like regular PB. I eat PB2 daily at the moment. You can get great prices on PB2, Peanut Flour, and the syrups online. Ill shoot you the web addy.

I eat this constantly. I use it a lot in sludge along with a scoop of Chocolate Peanut Butter Whey and some Oats and it is great.

If you just take one serving (30g) and mix it with water to PB consistency, you WILL need to add some kosher salts to it and it will taste very similar to PB.

I REALLY like it in the fact that it basically has Protein powder macros.

Like I said, I use it most to create very peanut buttery choco peanut butter tasting sludge/proats/used for toast

I'll upload some pics later if you want.

Everyone that has PB2 in their possession should do the following...

1) PB2 + Davinci Syrup "Sugar Free" Vanilla = Pretty much regular PB
2) Rep Irishpilot


Topped my pancakes with them tonight, words cannot describe... nom nom nom... exact same consistency as natty PB too..
