PB2 - Product Recommendation

I will be suggesting and recommending health products for all to use.  I am in no way sponsored by any of these products (although, I’m completely open to the opportunity).  These recommendations are based on my personal experience with them.

My first recommendation comes for all you peanut butter lovers who have had to cut, or limit the consumption due to the high fat and high calorie content of it.  Fear not!  There is a solution, and it’s a tasty one!  The product is called PB2 and comes from a company called Bell Plantation.

The company has developed a process where they remove 85% of the fat and calories from peanuts, without using chemicals or preservatives in the process.  What the consumer is left with is a low fat, low calorie powdered peanut butter.  All you have to do is mix this powder with a little bit of water, or low fat milk (I prefer almond milk), and then you are left with a peanut butter consistency which is the same as regular peanut butter, but missing all the evil fatty goodness, yet loaded with taste!

PB2 can also be used in your baking.  I use it in energy bars, protein bars, muffins, protein pancakes, and mix it with fat-free applesauce to get the same consistency as regular peanut butter for my recipes.

And just in case you don’t believe me, please find the nutritional information listed below.  To get you even more excited, this product also comes in…CHOCOLATE!
