Have heard of this new all natural peanut butter called PB2? A customer actually brought it up to my attention so I did a little research. PB2 is a powdered peanut butter natural mix that when mixed with water turns into this delicious peanut butter spread MINUS 85% of the fat calories and without the chemicals typically used in producing reduced fat foods. PB2 also has no preservatives. Yahoo!
So yes, you can use a PB2 for a healthy ingredient in your Visalus shake recipes. They even carry cocoa PB2. I just placed an order for mine. I got mine on Amazon but I understand they sell them in health food stores too around the country. Here is the PB2 nutritional chart for your review. As you can see, Visalus shakes are just a wonderful addition to all your healthy meals that when mixed with good stuff, it will keep you not only full, but also haaaappy! :-)
