Tasty Treat & High in Protein

If you like peanut butter & or just want to get a good amount of protein out of a meal this is great. It's also almost like a sweet treat. Just mix together a 6oz. container of your favorite plain Greek yogurt, 1 packet of whatever calorie free sweetener that you use regularly & 2 tbsp. of PB2 powdered peanut butter. It gives you 145 calories, 23g of protein and 13g carbs. If you want less carbs just use one tbsp. of the PB2. It doesn't taste quite as good as the 2tbsp. though. :P So glad to have this in my food rotation. Try it!

I haven't tried using regular PB. Way too high in calories, carbs, etc.

What is PB2?

PB2 is powdered peanut butter. You can add it to things like yogurt or protein shakes or mix it with water to make peanut butter that has 85% less fat calories than even l-f pb. A lot of websites sell it. I'm sure you can Google it & get all the information you would ever need. I think that it's awesome!

What is PB2?

PB2 is this really wonderful product, it is Peanut Butter that has been pressed. They have removed most of the fat and sugar. Here is a link with some more information: http://www6.netrition.com/bell_plantation_pb2.html

My dietition told me about the pb2. I ordered it from amazon. Love it in my chocolate protein shake. It tastes like a reeses peanut butter cup. I ordered 4 jars!

I got this as a gift from my boyfriend's sister. She is a very healthy eater herself. I had put it in the cabinet & recently couldn't find it. Turns out my bf had taken it & hidden it because he thought it was some Nutella like treat that I wasn't sharing. Boy was he disappointed when he found out what it really was. LOL. Anyway, I need to order a bunch before I run out. I am LOVING this stuff!

I'm still pre-sleeve but have been adding extra protein to my diet and in attempting to find a greek yogurt I like I added about a tblsp of natural PB and tsp. of splenda to yoplait greek. It was pretty good..and for after surgery PB2 would be what's needed. Building my protein arsenal! :)

if you have a Kroger grociery store in your area, they carry it now. it's over in the organic section in mine. great stuff.

@Michelle1977 Can you please share with me your recipe for Chocolate PB2 shake. I have been playing around with it and im not having very good luck getting it to taste right. I don't know if im using too much powder, water or not enough. Im trying to get these things all figured out before surgery so im not struggling to figure out after. Thank you in advance for your help :}

Thanks for the kroger tip! Ill look for it tomorrow!

@Mini Me - I mix the protein shake with water then I add in 1 TB PB2 w/ chocolate. There are 2 kinds of PB2. Regular PB2 and PB2 w/ chocolate. The chocolate in the 2nd PB just takes a little of the bitterness away (it is not like nutella or anything like that).

For Greek Yogurt I buy the plain non fat variety and I add 1 tablespoon of sugar free Torani Syrup to Greek Yogurt. For Fiber I add 1 - 2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds.
