SuperButter? PB2?

Posted on January 6, 2015

I have read a lot of posts where people mention PB2. I didn't know what it was, so I finally googled it. It sounds like a decent product. I think I would rather stick to either the whole natural peanuts though, or traditional peanutbutter or almond butter.

However in my search I found something called SuperButter. I found 4 different kinds in a variety pack on Amazon that I ordered for $28. I think this sounds very interesting to me and I can't wait to try it.

My question is have any of you tried SuperButter? If so, which flavor is your favorite and how do you prefer to eat it? I am thinking of trying it with toast, graham crackers or maybe even triscuits first.

Also, can someone please tell me what is so great about PB2?

I'm on my third jar of PB2. The main attraction for me is that it has fewer calories, but it doesn't have as strong of a peanut butter taste as the real thing. I've tried it in smoothies, but the flavor gets lost. Even jelly or jam seems to overpower it! I'm a huge nut butter fan, and I really want to taste it when I'm eating it! I mainly use PB2 to make protein bars, and I use real peanut butter for everything else.

cool thanks for the tips. I am waiting for mine to arrive. It said it should arrive today, but it is after 6 PM and hasn't yet. I'm sure the weather may have something to do with it. Hopefully it arrives within a few days!

Let us know! I read about it over the holidays and thought and thought and thought and decided, no, my husband likes it out of the jar with a spoon and m&m's and I don't eat it BUT I think if it was a good trade off he would consider it!

I have read some stuff where it says it can be hard to mix with water to get the peanutbutter consistency. Other things said it is easy if you add the exact amount of water. I don't know how that will go for me. I am excited to try it in shakes and yogurts and in other recipes to add peanutbutter flavor though... I am going to try to make cookies from it too. I will let you know how it goes.

Please do - I have read where a lot of people use it in shakes!

I bought the PB2 to add to my morning Shakeology. I haven't used it yet. I resisted for a long time but finally broke down and bought it.

I do Herbalife. I finally broke down to try it in my chocolate shakes... then I started thinking of trying it in yogurt too. I found a cookie recipe on trunutbutter.com that I would like to try too. I also read somewhere of mixing it with fruit jam (I prefer fruit butters) for the PB&J taste with a lot less calories. I like PB&J (fruit butter) on toast, so I will have to give this a try too. Do you like it in your shakeology? I bought a variety pack that has different flavors too... I don't know if they are that flavor plus PB or just that flavor. I am interested in how they change up my shakes too. Also, the SuperButters just sound yummy... I guess not many people has heard of them though because I'm not reading much about them yet. I will have to give them a try when they come too.

I haven't tried super butter yet. I'm not a big peanut butter eater but the PB2 has way less calories and tastes better than regular peanut butter. I like it with apples. My 10 year old eats it too!

Sounds awesome. I haven't eaten PB on apples in years.. I will have to try that too. I want to try it in shakes and yogurts too. I found a great looking cookie recipe on trunutbutter.com too that I will have to try eventually for the sweet tooth cookie loving part of myself. I also want to try mixing it with a bit of my fruit butter to try to eat my PB and Fruit Butter on toast with a lot fewer calories and fat. I keep finding more and more ways to use this. I am glad I splurged and bought it. I bought the 4 pack variety of superbutters, the 4 pack variety of tru-nut butters, and a 2 pack of PB2 - which was peanutbutter and chocolate. It was quite a pricey haul for all of that at the end, but they will last me a while and seem to give me an infinite number of possibilities. Now lets hope I like them.

Someone on Facebook has helped me understand PB2 and I have now bought some original PB2 and PB2 chocolate to try as well as a Tru-Nut Brand 4 variety pack of powdered peanutbutter in original, maple, cinnamon, and chocolate. This is in addition to the SuperButter 4 variety pack I purchased. I know this is lot and was a lot of money, but they will last me a long time! I'm so excited thinking of the ways to add some flavors to my shakes and maybe to some of my more boring yogurts! Oh and I'm thinking of 35 calorie toast or graham crackers for the SuperButter as breakfast or a snack! I can't wait to try all these new treats!!!

Well he said it is a powdered peanutbutter. He mixes it in with his shakes to add peanutbutter flavor without a lot of the fat or calories. I am going to try this too, and I'm going to try it in yogurt and possibly in PBJ sandwiches... I have found by web search you can use it in a lot of recipes that call for peanutbutter and it reduces the fat and calories. I wouldn't say I know exactly what it's all about yet, but I am opened to some new ideas for trying it now. I don't know how the flavor matches up... but in my mind it is something like protein powder that we add to our shakes or something (not really a protein powder but acts the same way) to add the PB flavor without a lot of the calories or fat. A serving of it is about 45 calories I think versus 190 for real peanutbutter. I am not sure if I will like it, or it will be the same, but I'm willing to try it now.

I'm still not 100% sure about it, but all I can do is try it. I am hoping if I don't like it maybe my boyfriend will like it and I can just let him have it. I am hoping to like it though. It sounds like the more you start using it the more you can find to use it in. As for the SuperButters. Those are actually butters with the consistency of peanutbutter but made from no treenuts or peanuts. I think they are made from things like sunflower seeds and other seeds. I am going to try them on toast, or graham crackers, or on bagels (I don't eat bagels that much anymore they have a lot of calories and just make me hungry in a couple hours) and such. I think if I add them to a bagel, the extra protein may help keep me from being hungry as fast though.
