Has anyone tried PB2-dried peanut butter? It's 85% less calories, you just add water to make it the right consistency. I think I might try it. I love peanut butter

They remove most of the oil, so you end up a reduced-fat peanut paste. That doesn't sound appetizing at all. But then, I pretty much refuse to eat reduced-fat anything (besides milk), because the taste and texture's just wrong.
I have. I have both the plain and chocolate, and I really can't tell the difference between them. I haven't used it as peanut butter, but I put it in things like African stew where I want a stronger peanut butter taste but less fat. Also use it in smoothies.
I sprinkle it on apple slices. :cool:
I love it as a dip for banana chunks, apple slices and celery. The chocolate is not very chocolate but it tastes peanut enough to satisfy the peanut butter urge. Hadn't though about using it in African Chicken but will definitely give it a try.
Guess I have to remember where I bought the first jar and buy another. Just about the time I decide I like something, they discontinue it.

You can purchase it online, a co-worker has considered trying this. It WOULD provide a less fatty alternative to when the urge comes to start dipping stuff in peanut butter - or perhaps in sauces? I just happen to love peanut butter and it is pricy enough that I was afraid it would be wasted if I hated the taste...
I got mine off Amazon, and I didn't think it was that expensive considering that it was dehydrated. Maybe $7 per jar?
Meh, i would try it just to try it....but peanut butter is a staple in my life.
everyday i'm pb'n every day i'm pb'n...every day every day.
hope someone caught that last little diddy.:D
I did :) Made me smile!Quote:

My big thing is that I need that fat. I do better on a high-protein, high-ish fat, moderate carb diet. It keeps me from snacking all the time.Quote:

I don't eat peanuts anymore, but I did try the PB2 a few years back. It's OK. I was never a huge PB fan, so take this with a grain of salt.
You can mix the PB2 with a little water and get a PB-like spread that is very peanuty in taste and decent in texture. It was great tossed into smoothies, oatmeal or sprinkled/mixed in to ice cream. I know there are a ton of PB2 recipes out there as well but I never made any of them. My PB2 jar (mostly full) just sat in my cabinet for years until I finally tossed it out when we went paleo.
My latest go to after a ride is a smoothy consisting of plain greek yogurt, Banana flavored Chocolite protein powder, the chocolate PB2 and water :)
On its own I'm not a huge fan but I do like it mixed into things.
I keep running across people who love the PB2, and I learned at a party tonight where I can get it locally...I am going to have to try this I think.
I bought a jar of PB2 when I lived in NC, made brownies with it once, and the rest eventually went bad b/c I just couldn't remember to use it. Mixing it into Greek yogurt is not something I thought of -- that would definitely work!
Hmmm, do they have this in the USA? We only have the regular version, I haven't heard about dried peanut butter before. I take a spoon prior going for a ride. Keeps me "lubricated" :)Quote:
