PB2 STILL AVAILABLE AT BIG LOTS

Deadeye Daisy — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:06:14 GMT

As of this morning, PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is still available at Big Lots in both the regular and chocolate versions. $4 for 6.5 oz jar ($3.20 if you wait until Friends & Family days this weekend). Unless you shop Amazon for the 16 oz bags, $4 is a good price. They sell for $8 a jar at the weight loss centers.

FYI, while the fat has been removed, there IS added sugar. ANYTIME anyone removes fat from ANY food product, they WILL add sugar and salt to make up for the missing 'fat' flavor.

I always keep two jars around, as I add to chopped chocolate and milk when traveling to make 'Reeses' hot chocolate. I don't bother at home, as I just use PB syrup. You could probably add to cocoa powder also. I'm really more of a hot chocolate lover, not a cocoa person.

If making a Reeses pie, you can add PB2 powder to your chocolate pudding base, chill. Then fold in your whipped cream. Soft freeze some regular size Reeses (the Dark Chocolate or Inside Out ones are REALLY great in this). Chop the candy and fold in last to the pudding and whipped cream mixture. Pour into a chocolate crust and top with more chopped candy. Chill, and don't invite guests.

Wow, I haven't thought about PB2 in years! I used to buy this all the time while on Weight Watchers. Delicious!

I believe the only way to eat peanut butter on a spoon from the jar. i

However, PB2 does have it's place when the sticky stuff won't work. I wouldn't use it as a sub for regular peanut butter in a food plan. Our body needs the good fat from regular peanut butter. It's actually one of the foods on the 'do not use' list that we give patients.

the powdered pb is good in these too (recipe from Vitacost):

1/4 cup natural powdered peanut butter + 2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup raw honey
1 tsp. organic vanilla
1/2 cup raw cacao nibs
1/2 cup raisins

Directions

1. Add water to natural powdered peanut butter; mix until smooth. Combine nut butters, honey and vanilla.

2. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Stir in nut butter mixture. (Note: Add additional rolled oats as needed to achieve ideal consistency.)

3. Shape mixture into balls. Chill before serving to set.

I'd have to make a 220 mile round trip to get at a WM up in TN. None of ours carry it. Besides, Big Lots is only 2 miles away, and this weekend, it's $3.20

There is only 3 g. of sugar per 2 T. of powder. That's not much is it?

I discovered PB2 a couple of years ago, the meal replacement program I was in sold it. I still use, I particularly like adding it to my chocolate protein shakes. I always have a jar in my cabinet at home and a jar in desk. One thing. It isn't true that they always add sugar and salt to ALL fat free foods. Yes, often that is the case. But definitely not always.

You can reconstitute it with water and it's a nice sticky mess. Love PB2 <3
