Would it be safe for me to put about a tablespoon (or less) of peanut butter in a protein shake? It seems like it would make it taste better, and the protein would be super helpful. I'm currently in the first two weeks *full liquids* stage of post-op surgery.

I don't know about regular peanut butter, but my dietition told me about PB2 it is a powder peanut butter. 2 TBs is 5 g or protein. I ordered it from amazon. I add it to my chocolate protein and it is YUMMY taste like a reeses peanut butter cut! It is roasted peanuts with all the oil pressed out and turned to powder. Look it up,

I use the PB2, also. I add sugar free butterscotch pudding to the chocolate whey and peanut butter and it makes it a butterfinger-it's yummy! There are a lot of things you can add it to. I love this stuff

I used peanut butter in mine during liquid stages.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I just placed an order for PB2 on Amazon. I'd never even heard of it!

@Bobo, how much SF butterscotch pudding do you put in each shake?Im looking for things to change it up a lil and never thought about putting pudding in it. Thanks in advance for any ideas you can send my way :}

I had never hear of the PB2 either until I saw it on here. I live in a small town with no "health food" stores but I happened to walk down the "healthy" isle of my Smith's Grocery store and they had it. I was shocked to see it there and they had the reg and the chocolate PB2. So before you all pay extra shipping check in your local grocery stores. Good luck all it's a good thing to have on hand if you haven't tried it yet :}

I got a recipe grouping from one of my coworkers that has a bunch of whey protein shake recipes that are great! It's published by Herbalife but you can use any whey protein. I'll be happy to e-mail them to you, if you'll send me your address. BTW, I put a tablespoon of the butterscotch pudding mix. The pudding mixes are great for pumping up the flavor and I also add FF Greek yogurt (about 1/2 cup) to make it creamier and it adds 11g of protein.

Peanut Butter kept me sane. I never used the PB2, but I always thought it was perfect for the shakes.

Watch regular peanut butter. It is calorie packed and you really have to watch how much you eat. A small bit is all you need. Pre-surgery I used to load a celery stick with about 3 tbs of the stuff. GAAAAAAAAAA! No wonder I was were I was.

If adding to shakes, no you don't. It mixes beautifully! Lol
