May 12, 2008 at 4:38 amHmmm—you find the most interesting things!
I, too, am not particularly trying to avoid the good fats, yet I do find the concept intriguing for when you want to boost protein without the extra fat. Will have to give it a try!
Still need to come across some Chia seeds… I don’t know why I seem to be incapable of ordering online, but I for some reason I need to see the stuff in a store before I go for it. Actually, it’s just laziness I think.
MizFit says
May 12, 2008 at 5:20 amIt is FAR better, Crabby, not to do the internet order.
I can vouch for the chia but have gotten some NASTY stuff in the name of ‘ooooh, that looks *tasty* on my screen!’
We (the royal. the bumbling band.) are revisiting Chia next week.
I’ve foundulated (found + formulated. G-d forbid I follow a recipe to the letter) a couple of ways to make the seeds more palatable (for when you track em down)!

May 12, 2008 at 5:55 amI’ve also been hesitant to try it as I use a raw almond butter and a natural peanut butter mix. I wasn’t sure if the PB2 would be nutritionally “worth it” but maybe I’ll give it a try!
Kathryn says
May 12, 2008 at 6:09 amI’ve never heard of PB2. Thanks for the post about it…it looks like a healthy peanut butter substitute. I probably won’t do away with regular peanut butter entirely because one of my favorite weekend snacks is peanut butter on toast. Yum! But I like the idea of having something that’s in a powdered form…and the recipes on the PB2 website look yummy. If only it were available at a store near me…looks like I’m going to have to order.

May 12, 2008 at 7:00 amHmmm. Why would one want to eat peanut butter without the fat? That’s the good part of the peanut butter – all those mono- and poly-unsaturated fats. On that note though, I usually choose cashew or almond butter (or raw nuts) rather than peanuts or peanut butter. It’s that whole overabundance of Omega-6’s in our diet.
I’m with Crabby about the Chia. Still dying to try it. Still too lazy to find it online!
MizFit says
May 12, 2008 at 7:05 amCharlotte,
I miss the fat (and just plop it in myself mostly) but adore this for a quick stirring in (oatmeal, shakes/smoothies, thai noodles, baking) AND for travel.
And life.
You KNOW there is always a jar in my trunk 🙂
(I’m so excited about one chia tip I’ve learned. Testing today. Sharing next week!)

May 12, 2008 at 7:42 amIntriguing. I’m possibly the most ardent lover of peanut butter that has ever lived, so the idea of powdered PB is a bit blasphemous to me. But I’m willing to give the pancakes a try…
MizFit says
May 12, 2008 at 7:54 amI hear you, Jen.
I was amazed at how good it was (& thankful as I’d ordered a four pack).

Sagan says
May 12, 2008 at 8:03 amVery cool. But I love the smooth texture of peanut butter- I think I would be saddened by eating a powdered peanut butter. Even so I think this is something that I’d like to give a try!
Eileen says
May 12, 2008 at 8:43 amI will have to give this a try! Thanks!
Gena says
May 12, 2008 at 9:01 amHmmm…this sounds interesting! I love peanut butter, so this might be a nice alternative for making shakes and things.
Angie says
May 12, 2008 at 9:48 amWow..this does look very interesting! Hmmm…might have to give it a try! (Also plan to try that Almost Cake recipe)
Thanks MizFit!

May 12, 2008 at 11:40 amDried peanut butter sounds delightful!
Ann says
May 12, 2008 at 12:51 pmSo even though this goes through quite a bit of processing, it still fits with the eating clean thing? I imagine it adds a great flavor to oatmeal!

Susan says
May 12, 2008 at 5:39 pmI’m one of those who have not heard of PB2, so thanks for getting me up-to-date. 🙂
AND now I know what those Protein Almost Cakes are! 🙂 I would so try them.
Nita says
May 12, 2008 at 7:26 pmOk, I’ve tried PB2, and I swear I’m the only person in the U.S. who doesn’t like this stuff. I love peanut butter, and this stuff just doesn’t measure up to me. Any hints to making it better?
Stephanie Quilao says
May 13, 2008 at 2:57 amNever heard of powdered PB before. Sounds interesting. I eat organic crunchy PB, and have made some of my own, and the taste is fabulous. I love the MUFAs in the PB, as this is one of my fave ways to get them.
arielle says
May 13, 2008 at 9:48 amIt also has sugar added, though, right? I was thinking it would be good for smoothies to add the pb flavor, but the sugar kind of turns me off.
Zandria says
May 13, 2008 at 8:51 pmSo crazy! I’ve never heard of powdered peanut butter…I bet it would be good. 🙂
mallory says
May 17, 2008 at 1:00 pmjust bought some PB2 and was so eager to try it I opened it and dumped some into what was left of my berry smoothie, what resulted was a PB&J smoothie delight. Sheer love of the PB2 here. It is def more peanutty than regular PB but I really like that. It is officially my new smoothie additive!
