I love peanut butter. When I was pregnant I lived on peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milk. I’m dieting now and the peanut butter is mostly a no-no. Even “light” peanut butters are pretty fattening, though they’re high in protein. I did find a worthy alternative, however. PB2.

PB2 is a powdered peanut butter with 75% less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. Simply mix two parts PB2 to one part water and you’re rocking the PB&J, without a lot of guilt.

Now here’s the thing. I’m not going to lie to you and say it tastes just like the real thing, because it doesn’t. It tastes like peanut butter for sure, but there is something missing.  It’s good, but not as good. It’s great in baking though. If you replace you’re regular peanut butter with PB2, your eggs with egg substitute and your butter with a little Brumble and Brown you have a very good, very low fat peanut butter cookie.

So if you’re dieting, or seeking healthier alternatives, PB2 is a good alternative. It’s not the same as peanut butter, but it’s the next best thing. PB2 isn’t available in stores and can only be purchased at the Bell Plantation website. If you decide to give it a try, let me know what you think.
