Title: PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
Post by: Ice Cream on December 28, 2014, 08:31:29 AM

I bought this product at a local health food store, out of curiosity, but haven't tried it yet.  Does anyone have any experience with it?

My youngest sister (who is a nutcase for many reasons) lives on this and Raw Meal.  That's my main exposure to PB 2.  But I've heard good things about it from people who like to add it to smoothies.

I almost bought some to add to smoothies but noticed that it had added sugar.  Since I really love the fresh almond butter they make at Earth Fair and it has no other ingredients, I bought that instead.

I like it for cooking and things like smoothies and banana ice cream, on a sadwich not so much.

I never bought it but it was a big thing in my ww group 8 or 9 years ago.

Sounds like it was designed by NASA.


I'm not a fan of powdered food or drinks.

You know what?

I'm wrong, I like crystal light.

i avoid foodstuffs wherein a naturally occurring component is replaced with sugars.  but my sister has had it and she said it tastes fine, even though the texture is "odd."

I am not sure anything is replaced with sugar, i think it is comparable to sweetened PB, but yeah the texture is off which is why i use it for cooking, etc, not a sandwich.
