Have you tried PB2, Powdered Peanut Butter?

[Pedal Wench]

Just checked the website that is listed in the very first post... there are over 100 recipes posted there as well. Sounds interesting enough -- I am a HUGE Skippy PB fan, so I'm not sure how I will do with this -- probably excellent for cooking, smoothies, etc., but when it comes to eating straight, really bad for you, creamy PB, I will likely stick to the real thing and deal with the fat and additives! But I am keeping an OPEN MIND!

Totally offtopic, but Jes, just saw in your signature that you're doing the 3-Day. I'm on the bike crew for the Atlanta and Wash DC 3-Days. Might have to add Seattle next year!

Hey Pedal Wrench... that's awesome! I noticed all those bikers last year.. especially because we started DEAD LAST, and the poor bike lady had to stay behind us, "bringing up the rear", so to say! Isn't it an amazing experience? This will be my third walking -- I might try to crew next year. Have fun on yours!

OK... back to Peanut Butter -- or the powdered stuff, anyway!

I just noticed that the proportion of fat calories to total calories in this stuff is still pretty high (but better than real pb for sure).

Reg PB (2 tablespoons)

16g fat 190 cals. 1 fat gram=9 cals 9 x 16=144 144/190=
75% of cals from fat

PB2 (2 tablespoons)

Calories 54.138
Total Fat 2.84g 2.84 x 9=25.54 25.54/54.14=
47% of total cals from fat.

Still OT, but I'll get us back there -- just watch... You should totally crew! We work as route safety, and it's actually a 3-Day staff member who's the 'caboose'. I rode with her for a little while last year because she seemed so lonely at the back! Her job really is to stay with the last walkers. This time, the last walkers were a group, so she was kinda by herself, so I hung out with her. What a great job.

Here goes -- did you try those amazing PEANUT BUTTER and jelly graham cracker sammies? Oh my, they're incredible!

(See how I did that???)

Holy Heck Yeah those things are good! I did my first walk a few years ago from Baltimore to DC (doing my second this year in Toronto) and my Mom, her friend, and I were always hoping the next pit stop would have them. mmmm-mmmm.

This new PB sounds veeeery intriguing to me. Maybe I'll be able to try some up here one day.

I am a purest when it comes to peanut butter, fat and all. I don't like to eat fake stuff. But if i ever run into this stuff I will try it out but I will always stick to the real stuff!
