Peanut Butter Substitution for Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie
For the peanut butter, we used PB2, although you can use actual peanut butter. I’ve had it both ways, and it’s just another smoothie option with less calories. So, if you aren’t familiar with PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter, here’s the smack-down.
- PB2 is made with premium quality peanuts that are slow-roasted and pressed to remove over 90% of the fat and oil, resulting in a peanut powder.
- All natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Same consistency as full-fat peanut butter with all of the roasted peanut flavor, but with more than 85% less fat calories.
- Two tablespoons of traditional peanut butter contains about 180 calories, while two tablespoons (approximately 12 grams) of PB2 powder, and contains just 53 calories.
- Bell Plantation PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is low carb, low fat, all natural, kosher and gluten free. It packs an intense peanut butter flavor!
