Powdered What?!

PB2

Have you heard of it? Maybe, maybe not. If you're familiar with protein shakes, you may have heard of this product. It's  powdered peanut butter. Adding peanut butter is pretty popular with protein shakes. There are all kinds of recipes online to switch things up.

I was skeptical at first, just like I am with everything. It wasn't 100% needed, but you guys know me well enough by now...impulse buyer. Guilty as charged. Not only was I super curious, I really wanted to see what all the hype was about. I decided to venture out, like a complete idiot, to the mall two days after Christmas. I wandered around trying to find a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii, then got side tracked at the giant sale at Bath and Body Works before hitting up GNC. Of course they were OUT of it at GNC, and so was Vitamin World. 

The next day I went to Wegmans and managed to find a similar product. It's still powdered peanut butter. 

So I picked this up in the organic section, and figured it was close enough. The idea of using this, is the fat elimination. The directions instruct you to mix two tablespoons of powder with one tablespoon of water. You're making your own paste if you will. One serving of this contain 1.5g fat. 

I have to admit, I've never tried putting peanut butter in my shakes. The idea of it piqued my interest, and I'll definitely use it. Mixing regular peanut butter from a blender, kind of seemed messy. When I discovered the powder, I was super excited. Upon opening up the lid, I wasn't surprised at all. It's just really pulverized peanuts. The smell was great, and it didn't have a sweet scent really to it at all. The consistency is more like flour.

As you can see, super easy to add in a blender right? I haven't tried this in a shake just yet, but you all know I'll tell you the cold hard truth! A jar of this brand in particular will run you about $8.99. You can find PB2 online for less I'm sure.
