I've posted about this find of mine before but its been awhile so I thought I would post about it again. I found this peanut butter online that is fantastic with a MUCH lower count of fat and calories. Granted the protein isn't as high but it is close and if you like to use or eat peanut butter but you worry about the fat content and calories this may be your answer.

It is a powdered peanut butter. I know, sounds gross, but I can assure you that it isn't. When you take off the cover all you can smell is the wonderful smell of peanuts. You mix it with water and it looks and tastes just like a creamy peanut butter without all of the fat and calories. I add it to smoothies, yogurt, in peanut type sauces...any time you would use peanut butter you will use this.

If you wonder about the ingredients? Well all it there is are peanuts and salt. Nothing more.

It is called PB2
