This being said, I am also paleo, and peanut butter doesn't fit in with that based on the omega 3 to 6 ratio and being a legume. I also tend to *really* regret eating peanut butter the next day, as my stomach doesn't really appreciate it. Opening the package is a little tricky, as it's vacuum-packed without a resealable container. I just put the rest into empty peanut butter jars. I mixed two spoons of the powder with just enough water to imitate thick peanut butter. Holy crap, this stuff is amazing (both the regular and chocolate), and has limitless applications."
"I recently read that Cacao has important antioxidants --and zero calories or carbs, so PB2 with Premium Chocolate is guilt-free also. Honestly, this stuff is an important food that keeps me on track in my weight loss and health targets."
"I am very happy with this product and this was a great price."
"Or, you could just stir up a 2 serving size with a spoon and enjoy without the "fat" guilt!!"
"Was skeptical about powdered peanut butter tasting good, but boy was I surprised when I tried it."
"Works just okay in a shake, just doesn’t disperse the pb taste as much as others I’ve tried."
"The chocolate is good -- yet the peanut butter original is fantastic too."
"The chocolate does not have a real strong chocolate taste, but is a nice addition when mixing with my medifast products. Jiff PB is 190 calories, 8 carbs and 3 sugars for 2 tablespoons, PB2 45 calories, 5 carbs and 1 sugar for 2 tablespoons."
85% less fat calories than traditional peanut butter. No additives.

In comes the PB2, making it possible to add to my smoothies without all the extra fat etc..... but still adds great peanut butter flavor and protein."
"I go through at least a pound of pinto beans a week, and if I ever accidentally add too much liquid to them when I mash them, just adding a little bit of PB2 thickens it back up."
"This is a great guilty free snack and so easy to add to recipes to add that extra bit of protein."
"Much easier to mix with other ingrediants than other peanut butters."
"It mixes great with oatmeal, yogurt, and anything else you could imagine."
"I love peanut butter, but I cannot eat it as much as I like to with all that fat in regular peanut butter. If you are used to the regular peanut butter, then you may notice that the PB2 is not sweet."
"I use this product solely in my Ninja, but my brother-in-law makes a peanut butter spread with it. I could finally have the tasty peanut butter flavor without all the fat and guilt."
"Great product & price."

This product is so good, and the taste is so delicious, it is simply worth every single penny. This honey is only found in the top hills of New Zealand where the manuka plant grows, and the huge bees that fly up at that elevation, giving a world renown quality and flavor that is so unique, I promise you, you will not regret trying this out."
"Here are some Manuka Honey Nutrition Facts: What makes wedderspoon Manuka honey different is its amazing nutritional profile. Generally speaking, the typical raw unfiltered honey is a rich source of: (2). Amino acidsB vitamins (B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid), Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium ,Manganese, Phosphoru, potassium, Sodium and Zinc. Yet with Manuka honey, the nutritional content is up to 4 timesthat of normal flower honeys. Unique Manuka Factor. In 1981, researchers at the New Zealand University of Waikato discovered that Manuka honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey. UMF is not found in the nectar of all Manuka flowers and, comparatively speaking, regular Manuka only contains the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property that is common to most types of honey. What separates UMF Manuka from other Manuka varieties is that it has both the natural hydrogen peroxide and its own natural UMF antibacterial property, which greatly enhances it effectiveness. How to Verify Genuine UMF Manuka Honey. The minimum UMF rating recognized is UMF5, however, it is not considered beneficial unless it carries a UMF 10+ level of antibacterial activity in the honey. Genuine UMF Manuka Honey will have these four things: It will have a UMF trademark clearly labeled on the front of the container.It will be from a New Zealand UMF licensed company and labelled in New Zealand.It will have the UMF company’s name and license number on the label.It will have a UMF rating number of 5-16+. The ideal UMF rating varies depending on your purpose, but laboratory studies have shown that manuka honey with a non-peroxide activity level of UMF12 to UMF15 is effective against a wide range of very resistant bacteria. Here is an explanation of what manuka honey UMF you should use: 0-4 Non-therapeutic. 4-9 Maintenance level with general honey health benefits. 10-14 Supports natural healing and bacterial balance. 15+ Superior levels of phenols that are highly therapeutic but shouldn’t exceed taking 1 tbsp at a time. Top 10 Manuka Honey Benefits. Manuka honey health benefits have been touted in the natural health world for a long time and even more in recent years because a growing body of research is starting to support thousands of years of folk medicine use. Some of the top Manuka honey uses are: 1. Burns, Wounds & Ulcers. According to a recent article in theJundishapur Journal of Natural Pharmaceutical Products, “The use of honey leads to improved wound healing in acute cases, pain relief in burn patients and decreased inflammatory response in such patients.” (6) Moreover, because of its rich anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics, Manuka honey has been shown to prevent infection in people with venous ulcers. IBS and IBD. When evaluating the effect that Manuka honey has on experimentally induced inflammatory bowel disease in rats, researchers from Chandigarh Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research discovered several astounding findings: (9). Manuka honey at different doses provided protection against TNBS-induced colonic damage.There was significant protection with Manuka honey 5 g/kg as well as with 10 g/kg body weight compared with the control.All the treated groups showedreduced colonic inflammation and all the biochemical parameters were significantly reduced compared with the control in the Manuka honey treated groups.Manuka honey at different dosesrestored lipid peroxidation as well as improved antioxidant parameters. Morphological and histological scores were significantly reduced in the low dose Manuka honey treated group.In the inflammatory model of colitis, oral administration of Manuka honey 5 g/kg and Manuka honey 10 g/kg body weight significantly reduced the colonic inflammation. Sore Throats and Immunity. In 2007, data published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggested that, “A 5.8-kDa component of Manuka honey stimulates immune cells via TLR4.” (10) This is interesting because previous studies have indicated that honey stimulates cytokine production from human monocytes. The participants were given regular honey, honey with birch pollen added to it, and some used only their allergy medicines as a control group."
"LOVE Manuka honey!!"
"Works great in helping cure kids cough."
"Great product very good price I recommend."
"Very rich taste and prompt delivery."
""This is not only unethical and dishonest, it's an absolute disgrace," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a U.S. importer of Manuka honey. "Wedderspoon has been able to get away with this deceptive and fraudulent practice because the FDA doesn't recognize honey of any kind as being an antibacterial agent. Wedderspoon has twisted the general public's understanding of Manuka honey's antibacterial activity by misleading their customers into thinking that they were getting more than what they paid for". My Note: …on Wedderspoon, is that it is "perceived" to be the top of the line, best readily available Manuka in the USA, for those who have not researched the subject and are just grabbing something off the shelf …..just an observation and opinion."

"There is added sugar in this particular type of almond butter."
"OMG this stuff is addicting."
"Our son is allergic to peanuts (but not almonds) so we've tried so many different types of almond, sun, cashew, etc butters."
"This butter has given me the opportunity to still have that cashew flavor without the pain trying to eat the actual nuts."
"Cannot eat peanut butter because of peanut allergy can eat almonds this is a great alternative."
"I have looked for cashew butter in stores and haven't found it."
"Having never had any nut butter other than peanut, I decided to give cashew a try."

It is a craveably delicious treat with all the right qualities: the rich flavor, nutrition and versatility of almonds with a texture just like peanut butter. Peanut-free and made in a dedicated peanut-free, almond only facility without added sugar or salt.

"I just attached one of the small dough hooks and the mixer made quick work of stirring the butter."
"It does require some kneading before you open the packet - just squish it back and forth for a minute - because it separates like any natural nut butter would. The other catch is not all the packets are notched properly, making them near impossible to open without scissors. There is a simple solution - I just take scissors and go through each new box, making a tiny nick on any packet where the cut doesn't go through both layers."
"I use these when I travel or when I'm out and about running errands."
"90 calories for each pack is great, and almond butter is so good for you."
"There is a cheaper brand that also only lists almonds on the ingredients -- but it is much runnier for some reason, so I think you get more almond butter for the price with Barney Butter."
"The best quality and flavor you could ask out of any almond butter!"
"I've never had Almond Butter before and this tasted fantastic."
