Dried Peanut Butter

[surgtech1956]

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.

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?

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.
And apple slices dipped in PB makes an awesome pre-ride snack.

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"

Yes, it is available online and, rarely, in some local stores.

I've never heard of dried peanut butter before, but wouldn't mind getting some. Making home made Reeses peanut butter cups with it would probably be easier and more like the real thing.
