Got this because there was a maple flavor -- two of my all time favorites maple and peanut butter.  Very good but I think I like PB2 better (they don't have maple flavor though).  I add it to my breakfast smoothies.  It gives you the taste of peanut butter without the fat/calories.  Also easier to clean the blender than with regular peanut butter.

I was surprised.  It tastes better than other peanut butters, except for fresh ground.  A little salty, though.

I made a decision years ago to eat healthier, and one of the things that I gave up was peanut butter cups.  However, I was overjoyed when I found PB2 with Premium Chocolate in my local grocery store (I'm also a big fan of the original PB2, btw).  It is in essence peanut butter with 85% less fat.

The premise is that they roast the peanuts and then press out the majority of the oil before making the peanut powder.  When you go to use PB2, you add water for moisture to create a much lower fat version of peanut butter.  I find that I need to add a little more water than what the instructions call for in order to make it spreadable.

While regular PB2 is good for anything you would use peanut butter for, PB2 with Premium Chocolate is great for sweet treats.  My favorite thing to do is to mix some up and have it with frozen yogurt - either plain vanilla or dark chocolate.  With dark chocolate frozen yogurt, I get something that is very close in flavor to Dryer's Chocolate Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cups; however it has less than half the calories and only 13 calories from fat!  You can't beat it.

The tradeoff you make is having to mix it up.  For me it is worth the effort.  I love this stuff.  In addition to frozen yogurt, it is also good as a topping for energy bars from KIND.  Get creative.  It is low cal, low fat, and it is also filling.  What you mix up is very dense with the majority of the fat removed.  I can't recommend this enough to anyone he is looking for a healthy alternative to satisfy their peanut butter and chocolate cravings.

- healthiest PB powder out there - no added sugar!
- flavor is good but not as good as PB2
- nothing special for adding thickness, although it does the trick if you want to make your protein shake with ice.

It's as good as any plain peanut butter that I've ever had, but they recently changed the packaging so the pouches are much harder to open.  The "foil" packages used to open easily & cleanly, so you could eat it right out of the package.  They've changed it to a multi-layered plastic pouch, which is harder to open, and doesn't rip cleanly (so it's not very pleasant to eat out of the pouch).  This might not be a big deal for most people, but I keep these on-hand because I have low blood sugar... struggling to tear open a package is the last thing I want to do when I'm feeling my blood sugar drop.

Love regular PB2 but was disappointed in this chocolate version. Doesn't have enough chocolate flavor IMO.  I probably wouldn't buy it again and will stick with regular PB2 with a few mini chocolate chips mixed in if I need a chocolate fix.

I've been drinking the Boost Plus Chocolate for awhile and given the choice, I would choose the Plus option - it's thicker, richer and overall has a better taste.

But the Original Vanilla is fine, and I did like it. The biggest differences (besides the taste) is the consistency is not as thick and shakelike, and the taste is not as strong as the chocolate. That can be a plus, as sometimes the Chocolate can be very rich. The vanilla is more understated, and has that milk shake taste to it. Also, because of the thinner consistency, it's easier to drink down quickly as Boost aren't really drinks to be savored, but more shot down fast on-the-go.

I can't really speak to the vitamins, and I hope they do some good. But as a breakfast meal, these have worked for me pretty well as far as giving a boost of energy to start the day, without the hassles of sitting down and trying to eat something.

I liked the vanilla and would drink it again, even if my choice might usually be the Plus Chocolate - the vanilla is cheaper as well, so it's a fair trade.

This is great peanut butter. For a few years I couldn't get chunky organic Smuckers and I missed it. I tried a lot of others, including fresh ground, and only one compared. Ive theorized that Smuckers must have contracts with some of the best peanut fields, because its just ground peanuts, some extra for chunks, and a little salt  but its so much better. (As for the one that compared, it was quite a bit more expensive, it was much lighter, closer to white, and I cant remember the brand. Ill look for it and post it here if I can.) Yes, as someone said, you can beat this price if its in your local store. But if I cant get it there, itll be well worth the price to buy it here.

The original PB is my favorite. I love the fact that it still has protein but much less calories than real BP.

Honestly I think these are better than the original. What it boils down to is if you want more butter or crunch. The crunchiness of the reduced fat makes these better in my opinion.

I bought this to mix into protein shakes.  It was perfect.  I live abroad and had to buy PB2 afterward, and I immediately noticed how much saltier PB2 tastes.  So I can see why if you're eating this plain it might seem blander than PB2.  But on the flip side it's non GMO, which I like.

After the Flint fiasco, we are hopefully more aware that the less lead we consume, the better. Part of my work is dealing with the food industry, so I am keenly aware of how many ppm we already consume in various foods and beverages. Who needs more from dishware?

These have a heavy bottom, which helps prevent tipping. I guess they could be better if they were unbreakable and self-refilling, but we don't yet have the technology :)

Great tasting PB. Very salty- which I happen to love, but acknowledge it's probably not as healthy as it could be. (*Note that I am basing this solely on the taste. I forgot to check the label, and don't have it with me right now to cite the sodium content.)

If your household goes through PB fast enough to warrant it, these larger jars are obviously a bit more eco-friendly than multiple standard sized jars.
I actually chose this brand for that reason. I was buying Skippy Natural from Amazon, solely because it is available in 40-oz jars, but I just don't want the extra sugar &  additives.

Plus, Skippy's parent company uses GMOs, & subsidized the fight against mandatory GMO labeling laws. Of late, I am making a conscious effort to avoid, or when feasible; outright boycott, ALL companies who support GMOs in any way. (Are you listening, Hormel?)
If Congress won't fight Monsanto, our consumer buying dollars can!
Admittedly I still need to research Teddie. I do not yet know their stance- but I WILL find out.
With that caveat, I will probably stick with this brand indefinitely.

Tricky. I love peanut butter and was looking for a healhier option. Justin's hazelnut spread is amazing so I tried this. This pb is fine if you are adding jelly or something, but not quite as good by itself (in my opinion). It is more greasy and I miss the saltiness of regular pb. But I went back to my old brand and that is now too sweet! So I mix them. I guess that means that I am eating healhier, so mission accomplished.

Right so, this is expensive for peanut butter, but it is in my opinion THE BEST peanut butter. I used to think all peanut butters were the same and my kids didn't seem to complain about their PB&J's one way or the other, so I figured at the rate we were going through it, the store brand was just fine and cheaper to boot. But I was noticing that there is a taste difference and that the store brand just wasn't as good to me so i went back to Jif.  On a whim i grabbed the Bee's knees one day looking to elevate the lowly kid classic and, it was a noticeable difference. Basically after the first bite it was decided we'd never be buying store brand again. I found in here on amazon and signed up for subscribe and save and get a 6 pack sent to me about every two months. It's so good. I will note that sometimes the top of the jar is a little dryer and needs to be mixed slightly with the oilier bottom to create the ideal spread but I suspect that has something to do with shipping & summertime heat etc. I will continue to buy The Bee's Knees PB and also am looking forward to trying some of the other flavors they offer like the maple!

Can't  tell the difference from real PB and the calories are reduced so now I don't feel guilty eating PB.

We eat this all the time in New Zealand. US peanut butter is disappointing, even straight PB+salt. Even the good brands come out sweet. Pics is a fine example of balance and the peanuts-y taste is rich and full bodied.
I see Vons in CA stock it now.
