A few months ago I searched locally for PB2, and finally resorted to the internet, and have a package.....now the question is, how do you mix it with your Protein drinks? And, what else are people doing with the PB2 besides adding it to shakes?

I put it in an insulated, metal thermos with chocolate premier Protein Drink and agressivly shook it.......it tasted good, but I have sludge at the bottom of the container and lots of lumps in the drink........how are you all mixing it up?

Thanks!

I haven't tried in shakes yet. But when I do I think I will probably break out the blender. I enjoy the stuff "old school", just straight up reconstituted with water!! Yummm. I was told our local Walmart (in Dayton OH ) now carries PB2 in the aisle with the Peanut Butter. Keep checking! ( I bought mine online too)

What is PB2?

One of the best inventions since the wheel!!! LOL It is basically dehydrated Peanut Butter. They reduce all the oils out until you get a powder. That you reconstitute with Water. A two tablespoon serving has 45 calories and 1.5g of fat. I happen to have a jar of "reduced fat" peanut butter at home..It is 210 calories and 12g fat!!! No comparison. And I like the flavor. Some may not if they want the "full fat" peanut butter taste. But if you really, really like the taste of peanuts then you should give it a try!

For every 8oz of liquid (milk, water) add 2 tablespoons of PB2. 2 tablespoons is one serving of PB2. I add it to my chocolate Protein drinks every morning.

I think the best part of the PB2 in shakes is the lumps of PB2 you get. But if you don't like the lumps you can get a shaker bottle with the little wire ball. That seems to help break down the lumps.

Also I use it to make icing for my Protein cupcakes I make. If you want to check the recipe at here is the link: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/95285-protein-cupcakes-with-pb2-icing/page__hl__%2Bprotein+%2Bcupcakes

I may have put some PB2 on some frozen yogurt. I also have mixed a little jelly with it. Sometimes I eat it straight up with a s.f. Fudge pop. 7g. Protein small snack

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
