Favorite Find- PB2


Who doesn't love peanut butter? It's a great add in for protein shakes, breakfast, and also a good source of protein. It is listed in the Abs Diet as a powerfood- so we should eat it all the time right? Sadly,  no. It comes packed with fat as well as protein so you have to moderate the intake- this is a real challenge for me since I can chow down on it non stop. So I had to find an alternative and I finally did. PB2
PB2 is a peanut powder that is made from drying and grinding peanuts to a fine powder- this process allows a great majority of fat to be removed. Just add a bit of water so create a traditional peanut butter consistently and save 145 calories per serving!

PB2 comes in traditional peanut butter flavor and also a chocolate peanut butter flavor- hheelloo yum!
I found it at Target and you can also order online at Amazon here.

Add it to your shakes, top on a banana or apple, or make an old school PB&J sammich- its great all around. Give it a try!
