What’s PB2

Have you ever tried something and automatically fell in love?  Well, that happened to me today!  I have been wanting to try PB2 for a LONG time, but didn’t think I could find it around here.  As you may know I have been using Shakeology as a meal replacement since June.  Shakeology is amazing in and of itself, but I like to add peanut butter or bananas or other ingredients to the shake to mix it up a bit and let’s face it I’m a little obsessed with peanut butter.  I could seriously live on Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, but that’s another post!  Back to my point…PB2 is an incredible replacement for your every day peanut butter.  Not to mention the fact that it is powdered so a lot less messy to add in to my shakes!  Here are the nutritional facts for those who are curious.
