Powdered peanut butter taste test!

Have you been thinking about buying some of the low calorie powdered peanut butter to have with your snacks or to make peanut butter pancakes or peanut sauce (see 8 ways to use powdered peanut butter here) but you aren't sure which kind to get or if it's gonna taste weird?

Well, I'm here to help. I bought and tried a bunch of different kinds and here are my reviews!

PB Fit

This was the first powdered peanut butter I tried and I was really surprised how much it tasted like real peanut butter to me! It was just non-oily peanut butter. I also like that it is 1 point a serving on weight watchers no matter if I had 1 or 2 servings, there's not an extra point until you have 3.

When I first ordered it, it was also the cheapest option available on Amazon, which is why I tried it first J. However, I've since noticed the price definitely moves up and down.

Of all the types I've tried, PBFit is definitely my favorite. I haven't tried their chocolate version yet, but it's on my list...when my current supply dwindles a little bit!

Peanut butter & Co - Vanilla

Like PB Trimmed (reviewed below), this brand makes a variety of flavors (original, pure peanut, honey, vanilla, flax & chia, cocoa). I decided to try their vanilla flavor as a good "basic" and I have to say it rivals PB Fit as my favorite so far! First, when you open the jar it has an amazing vanilla scent to greet you. It smells like it's going to taste good.

I don't feel that the taste is overly-vanilla flavored though, in fact it could be stronger in my opinion. It just tastes like peanut butter, which is really what I'm looking for most of the time. The texture mixes up very smooth and I really like that it came in a small jar (6.5 ounce) so I could try it without buying a huge container. If you want to see if you like powdered peanut butter in general before buying a bunch, I would recommend starting here. Or if you want a smaller jar to keep at your office.

PB2 - regular

This is one of the most popular brands and it's available for a lot of people locally (some Wal-Marts sell it). It tastes also tastes very close to regular peanut butter but in my opinion PB Fit is slightly better – but not enough better that I won't buy PB2 if it's on sale for a lower price. The one pound jar is also a nice size.

WW math will get you on the second serving of PB2 - for 1 serving it's 1 point but for 2 servings it's 3.

PB2 - chocolate

This is often sold in a two-pack with regular PB2, which is how I bought it. I was really excited to try the chocolate version but I have say I was underwhelmed at first. Much to my surprise however, the second time I had it, I thought it was much better. It really grew on me. It is delicious on apples and makes a nice drizzle for ice cream.

It is nice that the chocolate is the same points as the regular PB2.

PB Trimmed

The nice thing about PB Trimmed is it comes in a variety of flavors! I was really excited when I found this brand. I wanted to try all different kinds but I am now glad I didn’t buy the sampler pack of 7 different flavors and only bought 1 smaller jar.

I tried the salted caramel flavor of PB Trimmed because I absolutely love salted caramel and I thought it would be really good on ice cream and toast. The flavor of it did not disappoint, but the texture unfortunately did. Unlike the other brands of powdered peanut butter, this one was a little bit gritty. I am mixing it exactly the same as the other brands but it doesn’t get nearly as smooth as they do.

Another disappointing discovery was that while 1 serving is 1 point on WW, 2 servings is 3 points. That is still a lot less than full fat peanut butter but it’s more than I would like it to be.

I don’t think I will buy it regularly for these reasons but I might occasionally buy the salted caramel because that is a flavor not sold by the other brands or check out some of the other flavors. For my regular peanut butter needs, I won’t be ordering PB Trimmed.

Simply Nature Powdered Peanut Butter (Aldi Brand)

I was so excited to find powdered peanut butter at Aldi! I shop there weekly for all of my produce needs (see Weight Watchers Aldi shopping list here) and it saves me a ton of money.

Normally, I find Aldi's brands to be great quality but this was definitely an exception. It tastes like nothing! I even added some salt to it in order to give it some flavor but it didn't really help. I am really glad that it wasn't the first powdered peanut butter I tried because I might not have tried any others.

It's unfortunate as it would be so convenient to buy this while doing my normal shopping, but I'll definitely order PBFit from Amazon and have it brought to my house over this.

Don't get this one!

Are there other brands of powdered peanut butter that you love? Which is your favorite? I will update as I try more flavors and brands!
