A few days ago someone on the 100lb forum mentioned she tried a new peanut butter product and recommended it. I had given up pb during the last year because as all of you know, pb really uses up the ww points! I tried her suggestion, and have to tell you all that if you love PB, give it a try!
Here it is:
Better 'n Peanut Butter. Comes in a jar and is available at Trader Joe's. It's got that same great peanut butter flavor, and is made from peanuts, but the nutritional amounts are way better....100 calories, 2.5g fat, 0 fiber per 2 tablespoon serving. So for me, I normally use 1T of pb, that's only 1 point! It is not quite as "stiff" as traditional pb, but I found that the consistancy worked better for dipping my apple slices in than the regular or reduced fat Jiff. The jar (about 16 oz, I think) was $3.69, and Trader Joe's has a policy of giving a full refund on anything you try that you don't like.
WOW!!!! I am a peanut butter fanatic so I'll have to try this out. The closest Trader Joe's to me is about 45 min away in the big city so next time I'm out that way I'll pick up a jar (or two!). Thanks for the post!
Wait a minute!!!! They now have stores in Ann Arbor and Detroit area - what's the price on this stuff? I have buddies who work in those areas who could inter-office me a jar!
PB2....I've never heard of it before! Looking at the website it does actually look powdered. Do you mix just the amount you want with water? Also, is it available in stores or only online? Thanks for the info!
It is just available online.I am not sure what you mix it with yet.I assumed it will come with instructions.I will see if I can see anything on the ww boards about mixing.
Ok I looked and someone said you do mix it with water.The boards on the WW site are free you might want to stop by and do a search for PB2.They have lots of ideas.
I adore PB2! It's superior in texture and taste to Better 'n Peanut Butter. You mix 2 tablespoons powder with 1 tbsp water - it counts as only 1 point. I keep the jar in the fridge and only mix what I'm using right then. Using sugar-free jelly, PB2 and ww bread, I have a 2-point PB&J sandwich daily!
I buy Better N Peanut Butter in BULK!!! I love that stuff! I haven't tried PB2 yet. Everytime I try to buy it online, they're site gives me problems. Oh well.
Peanut Butter Lovers, read this!
