PB2 Powdered Almond Butter is Almond Butter re-imagined! Freshly roasted Almonds are pressed to remove most of the Oil. Mix in a little sugar and a dash of salt for flavor, and the result is Almond Butter with only 1.5 g of fat per serving – almost 70% fewer calories than traditional almond butter and 5 g of plant-based protein.
The subject of Powdered Almond Butter tends to create a lot of questions. One we hear frequently is, Why should I make the switch to powdered? Although PB2 and traditional Almond Butter are alike in flavor, there a few things that we think make PB2 the better choice for your busy lifestyle. Here’s our reasoning:
Fewer calories and less fat: Compared to its traditional counterparts, PB2 has 90% less fat and 70% fewer calories, all while still retaining the delicious Almond Butter taste that we know and love.
It’s protein-packed: Like its traditional counterparts, PB2 packs in the protein per serving. Depending on which variety of PB2 you’re using, you’ll find 4 to 6 grams of protein per 13-gram serving. Also, it’s easy to replace the protein powder in your morning smoothie with PB2, due to the similarity in the powder consistency.
More versatility in the kitchen: Because of its powdered form, it’s easy to incorporate PB2 into all of your favorite Almond Butter recipes. To keep things simple, we’ve sorted PB2’s best uses into three categories: bake, blend and mix.
It’s Kosher, Vegan, and Gluten-Free: Not only are PB2 products void of any GMOs, they also work well with a wide variety of dietary preferences.
Thank you,
