You got me excited, went to order some from amazon, read reviews, decided you have the most trash pallet on the-coli
Better'n Peanut Butter is one of the foulest things I have ever eaten. It has a runny, sticky consistency that tries to replicate the real thing, but more effectively replicates a dirty diaper. If you ignore its slightly (oddly) medicinal smell and actually consume this product, you'll wish you hadn't. The taste? Think less peanut butter, more roasted peanut-flavored glue. Low calorie/low fat? Absolutely; especially since I couldn't stand to choke down more than a few bites. In the end, I opted to go without lunch rather than eat my Better'n Peanut Butter sandwich.
As a vegetarian who commonly shops at natural food stores/in natural food sections and who is always looking for low calorie foods, I can generally handle "alternative" flavors. I drink rice milk. I eat imitation chicken (soy based). I use whole wheat items whenever possible. So while I was not at all expecting Better'n Peanut Butter to fully live up to it's name, I at least thought it may come close to matching the taste of the real thing (I've eaten the low fat versions of Jif and Skippy peanut butter for years and actually prefer them over their full-fat predecessors). I couldn't have been more wrong.

I tried to give this this 0 stars but I had to give it at least one. This stuff is so nasty. It tastes nothing like peanut butter but a bit like soy sauce. Three of us tried it numerous ways, on toast and crackers, with jam, etc, and couldn't get over how awful it was. Anyone who says something good about this product probably works for the company. I'll take a jog and eat real peanut butter before I save a few calories or fat grams and eat this stuff.
LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut butter and eat it straight from the jar, and also love powdered PB 2, so thought I'd like Better'n Peanut Butter. It was disgusting. I couldn't even keep the spoonful in my mouth or swallow it - had to put it into a napkin and the trash - and I rarely do that with anything. It has a very peculiar sweetish taste and odd texture. Obviously a lot of people like it, but all I can say is Blechhhhh.
This was one of the most foul tasting products I have ever tried. I first tasted it plain (the many positive reviews tricked me into thinking it would be edible) and I had to spit it out. I gave it a fair try- I put in on a sandwich, on celery, crackers, everything I could think of. I even mixed it with real peanut butter, and the taste was still unbearable. Nobody in my family liked it either, so into the trash can it went! For everyone who loves peanut butter but doesn't want all the calories and fat, PB2 is a much better alternative to peanut butter.

I seriously cannot believe that anyone can say anything bad about it. This product replicates one of the most fattening, high sodium item that children are given DAILY!!!! It substitutes amazingly with jelly on cracker or bread for a fraction of the calories and fat!!! So if you want to be fat, dont buy this.
What is there not to love? For people like myself that like to eat peanut butter out of the jar, it is a wonderful alternative. Two tablespoons of regular peanut butter have 190 calories and 16 grams of fat! The reduced fat peanut butter still has 180 calories and 12 grams of fat! This product has 100 calories and just 2 grams of fat for the same size serving. Sometimes when we are going for the lower calorie alternative, it can contain alot of chemicals, etc.,and may not be good for you. But this product is healthier than the original! As far as the taste is concerned, Better N Peanut Butter is better if it is mixed with something, such as in a smoothie, or on a PB&J sandwich. But to be quite honest, I now prefer it to regular peanut butter even plain. Maybe because I know that it is better for me. Anyway, for the people that have not tried it, you should definitely give it a chance.
anything that isn't real is probably worse for you anyway....just buy natural peanut butter or almond butter(which is better for you) and make sure the only ingredient is peanuts
the fat from them is healthy fat and as long as the fat fits in your macros...enjoy
