PB 2















So while I was at the salon getting (all the latest gossip) my hair done Sat. we got onto the subject of powdered peanut butter. My hair dresser (who chopped my hair nice and shorter, yes I keep going shorter and shorter, and gave life back to my still red and blond do) said its good and tastes and looks like regular peanut butter. I told her I'm so a Jif girl and to be totally brutally honest because hello we are talking about (my ears being more visible with this shorter do) Peanut Butter here for Pete's sake! She swears that's all they eat and so being my hairdresser, the one girl in town I can go to for the low down on all the latest and greatest, I took my Jif girl self to the store and bought a jar of PB 2.












So which is which? One is my beloved Jif and the other PB 2. I'm sorry I don't have a fancy shmansy camera to give the best detail and texture in picture for you but just take a guess!

So you just add water and you have peanut butter! You really do! I now know the reason my hips are so wide. Have you ever measured out the suggested serving size of 2 tbsp.? Ya, I gotta tell ya I eat waaaaaayyyyyy more than that on any given day. It's like a big wake up call for me cause I'll fix whatever I'm fixing and then load up the knife and lick it clean. Yikes!

But lets be real here and compare labels











Just so there is no confusion the Jif is on the left and the PB 2 is on the right(I so didn't want to throw you off with the blue lid like Jif's crunchy PB). And that also goes for the guessing game above! Huge difference here when you put the two labels side by side! Huge!

So for my powdered peanut butter review:Yumm! A tad more work than just scooping it out of the jar and shoveling it down my throat but the whole measuring my PB will totally keep me from over indulging like crazy! It tastes and looks like regular PB. Nice nutty flavor, healthy and tasty alternate, way less calories, fat, and on my way to smaller hips I'm hoping! So now that you have my 2 thumbs up go out and get you some! And browse around that health food dept for a minute...all kinds of goodies just screaming wanna lose those hips Mama! That's what they yell at me...they may be kinder to you!

  1. I recently ordered a variety pack of PB2 (no one local sells it and the pack came w/ one jar of Chocolate PB2!)

    So far I have only made testers of various "liquids" in the PB2. My favorites thus far, for everyday use, are PB2 with grape jelly or with syrup (I use sugar free variety)

    I have also tried:

    water
    water & powered sugar (was thinking PB frosting)
    strawberry no sugar added jelly
    Simply Fruit blackberry seedless jam

    I think thats it! :)
