I am a genuine peanut butter addict, and I am not ashamed to admit the fact that I have been caught spoon-in-jar on several occasions.
Peanut butter (and we are talking the natural kind, with no artificialness, added sugar or trans-fats) is healthy. Especially, for a close-to-vegan like myself, where good fats and nut-proteins are vital.
The fat peanut butter contains is of the good and healthy kind, protecting your veins from atherosclerosis. Fat-frightened people might be scared of by its high calorie-count (180-210 per serving), but there is no need to worry: It is rich on fiber and protein as well, which helps you feel full, so you actually quickly eat less of other things and fell full longer. So, there is nothing wrong in indulging in licking peanut butter off a spoon. Lucky me.
That aside, I was very intrigued when I head about PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter from Bell Plantation. On the website it says: "PB2 has the same consistency as full fat peanut butter with all of the natural roasted peanut flavor, but with nearly 85% less fat calories. PB2 is made with high quality peanuts that are slow-roasted to our specifications and pressed to remove the oil. All natural with no artificial flavors or sweeteners, and no preservatives."
Even though I am normally not hooked on faux-food (or fabrics!), and despite my praise above for the wonders of the peanut butter fat, I thought an addict like me simply had to try this PB2-madness.
I went to iherb.com - an american nutrition and health site, which ships to Denmark and purchased two test jars. They were shipped within a week to my door step.
I was exited to try it out and am happy to share the experience here.

It was easy to mix the powder and it is nice to be able to control the consistency, depending on how much water you add.
It tastes like peanut butter, however, not the all-natural organic kind i like. I do not think the description on the website is all true, as there is clearly sweetener in the powder.
It will never become a replacement for the real thing, but it works well mixed with genuine, unsweetned cocoa powder.
Try for yourself and purchase on here on iherb.com. It is only about $5 + shipping.
