Haven't used it, but I'm curious. Why would one want to use PB powder instead of the real thing?
I have that on a monthly order from Amazon. Love it, but I am a little concerned about its provenance.Sounds similar to that packet of desiccated water I once purchased.
I use "PB2" brand powdered peanut butter in a peanut chicken stir fry that my DH loves. I use an Asian peanut sauce as well, but the powder PB really makes it much tastier.
I have tried the mixing the powder as directed and using it as regular peanut butter, but it seemed runny and not so enjoyable as the real thing.

Smuckers and Kroger brand have "natural" peanut butter made without sugar. Use that and forget about the low fat....I love peanut butter and have some in my kitchen cabinet. I hadn't heard of the powdered stuff.
Since I don't eat bread any more on my present weight loss/maintenance eating initiative, I haven't been eating all that much peanut butter lately. But when I do, it's regular peanut butter. I used to get low fat PB but now I just eat regular but less of it, to keep the calories down.
And the good stuff (less processed) naturally separates and the oil would be on top, so if you prefer, you could pour out the oil on the top.Smuckers and Kroger brand have "natural" peanut butter made without sugar. Use that and forget about the low fat....
We use it in smoothies and it is fantastic for that.OP here. As others have said, it has far fewer calories and less fat than regular or even low fat PB, so people watching their weight use it for smoothies and cooking. I really like peanut butter but rarely eat it because of the high calories so I was just wondering if others had used it with tasty results.
PB2 gets decent reviews on Amazon, but those who didn’t like it really hated it. Even the good reviews say that using it for a sandwich or on crackers isn’t good because the texture doesn’t work. Some people have made a dip with it and use it with apples or celery and really like it.
