What is PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter?
PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter is the product that invented the powdered peanut butter category — created by Bell Plantation in 2007 and the global reference for the concept. Each 184g jar delivers the full flavour of roasted peanut butter in powder form, from a formula of just three ingredients: roasted peanuts, sugar and salt. Nothing else.
The manufacturing process is as simple as the ingredient list: freshly roasted peanuts are pressed to remove most of the natural peanut oil, reducing the fat content by 90% and the caloric content by approximately 70% compared to traditional peanut butter. The result is a fine powder that contains the protein, fibre and flavour compounds of the original peanut while leaving the majority of the fat behind.
Mixed with water in a 2-to-1 powder-to-water ratio, PB2 reconstitutes into a smooth, creamy peanut butter that spreads, dips and tastes like genuine peanut butter — at 45 kcal per serving compared to approximately 190 kcal for two tablespoons of traditional peanut butter. Added dry to a protein shake, smoothie, overnight oats or pancake batter, it contributes authentic peanut flavour and plant-based protein without the fat load of conventional peanut butter.
At 6g of protein per 13g serving, PB2 provides 46% of its calories from protein — making it one of the most protein-dense peanut-derived ingredients available. For athletes using peanut butter primarily as a protein and flavour source rather than as a fat source, PB2 is the most calorie-efficient format available.
Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO verified and kosher certified. Sourced from U.S.-grown peanuts.

🥜 90% less fat — 70% fewer calories — same peanut flavour
Traditional peanut butter provides approximately 16g of fat and 190 kcal per two-tablespoon serving. PB2 provides 1.5g of fat and 45 kcal per equivalent serving — a 90% reduction in fat and 70% reduction in calories from the oil-removal process. The fat that is removed is the natural peanut oil — predominantly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. What remains is the peanut's protein, carbohydrate, fibre and flavour profile in a concentrated powder.
💪 6g of plant-based protein per 13g serving
PB2 delivers 6g of complete plant protein per 13g serving — equivalent to 46% of its caloric content coming from protein. This makes it one of the highest protein-to-calorie ratio peanut-based ingredients available. For athletes and individuals who want peanut butter flavour without the caloric commitment of conventional peanut butter, PB2 provides the protein contribution at a fraction of the caloric cost.
🧑🍳 Maximum culinary versatility — spread, blend, bake, mix
The powdered format is fundamentally more versatile than conventional peanut butter. Mixed with water, it becomes a spread. Added dry to a shaker, it flavours a shake without clumping. Folded into a batter, it integrates homogeneously without the textural interruption of oil-based peanut butter. Used as a seasoning in savoury sauces, it dissolves completely. PB2 is the only peanut butter format that functions equally well as a spread, a powder ingredient and a baking component — without requiring any alteration of the recipe's liquid balance.
🌿 Three ingredients — clean label with no additives
Roasted peanuts, sugar, salt. The ingredient list ends there. No palm oil, no hydrogenated oils, no emulsifiers, no stabilisers, no preservatives and no artificial sweeteners. For consumers who want to understand and control everything they consume, PB2's three-ingredient label is one of the cleanest available in the flavoured protein supplement and functional food categories.
✅ Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher
PB2 Original is certified across the four major dietary and ethical certification categories: vegan (no animal products), gluten-free (no wheat, barley or rye), non-GMO verified and kosher certified. This makes it accessible to the broadest possible range of dietary preferences and restrictions simultaneously.
🎯 Goal guide
🔥 Weight loss / cutting: replace conventional peanut butter with PB2 in all recipes and shakes. Identical peanut flavour and protein at 70% fewer calories — one of the most impactful single ingredient substitutions for caloric reduction without taste compromise.
🏋️ Mass gain: add PB2 to shakes, smoothies, oats and batters as a protein flavouring boost alongside higher-calorie protein sources. Use in combination with conventional nut butter for layers of peanut character at different fat levels.
⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 to 2 servings/day. High-protein, low-fat peanut flavour contribution to daily protein targets in a clean, minimal-ingredient format.
Serving suggestion
As a spread: mix 2 tablespoons (approximately 12g) of PB2 powder with 1 tablespoon (15ml) of water. Stir until a smooth, creamy peanut butter consistency forms. Adjust water quantity for thicker or thinner consistency. Use immediately as a spread on toast, rice cakes, crackers or as a dip for fruit and vegetables.
In shakes and smoothies: add 2 tablespoons (12g) directly to a shaker or blender with other ingredients. The powder dissolves completely in liquid without additional water — simply shake or blend as normal.
In cooking and baking: substitute PB2 for conventional peanut butter in any recipe by using 2 tablespoons of PB2 powder plus 1 tablespoon of water per 2 tablespoons of peanut butter called for. Can also be added dry to batters, dough and spice blends where full fat-solubility of conventional peanut butter is not required.
Best times to enjoy it
🌅 Breakfast — on toast, in porridge or in pancake batter
A tablespoon of PB2 mixed into overnight oats adds the full peanut flavour and protein at under 25 kcal — making it one of the most flavour-efficient protein breakfast additions available. Mixed with water and spread on wholegrain toast, it provides a genuinely satisfying peanut butter breakfast at a fraction of the caloric cost of conventional peanut butter.
🏋️ In post-workout protein shakes
Adding 2 tablespoons of PB2 to a post-workout protein shake contributes 6g of additional plant protein and authentic peanut flavour at just 45 kcal — without adding the 16g of fat that a conventional peanut butter addition would bring. This makes PB2 the ideal flavouring addition for calorie-controlled post-workout shakes.
🌙 As an evening low-calorie peanut snack
Mixed with a small quantity of water into a thick dip consistency, PB2 served alongside apple slices or rice cakes provides a genuinely satisfying peanut butter snack at 45 kcal per serving — approximately a quarter of the caloric cost of the equivalent conventional peanut butter snack.
🍲 In savoury cooking — Asian sauces, marinades, dressings
PB2 dissolves completely in warm water, coconut milk or broth — making it ideal for Thai-style peanut sauces, satay marinades and sesame-peanut dressings where conventional peanut butter's texture and oil content can be difficult to manage.

Q1 — How is PB2 different from conventional peanut butter?
The fundamental difference is the oil content. Conventional peanut butter contains the full natural oil of the pressed peanut — approximately 50% fat by weight — which is why it provides 190 kcal and 16g of fat per two-tablespoon serving. PB2 uses a cold-press process to remove approximately 90% of the natural peanut oil before the remaining defatted peanut is dried and ground into a powder. The result is a product with 1.5g of fat and 45 kcal per equivalent serving — but with the same protein content (6g), the same fibre and the same roasted peanut flavour compounds that the oil itself does not contribute to. For individuals who want peanut butter flavour and protein without the caloric commitment of full-fat peanut butter, PB2 is the direct solution.
Q2 — Does PB2 taste like real peanut butter when reconstituted?
Yes — when mixed with water in the correct ratio (2 tablespoons of powder to 1 tablespoon of water), PB2 produces a creamy spread with genuine roasted peanut flavour. The main textural difference from conventional peanut butter is the absence of the characteristic oily richness that comes from the natural peanut oil. The flavour is slightly drier and less unctuous than full-fat peanut butter, but the roasted peanut character is authentic rather than artificial. Used in cooking, baking and shakes — where the surrounding ingredients provide liquid and fat context — the difference from conventional peanut butter becomes imperceptible.
Q3 — Is PB2 suitable for people with peanut allergies?
No. PB2 is made from roasted peanuts — it contains all the peanut allergen proteins present in conventional peanut butter. The oil-removal process does not remove or denature the peanut allergens. PB2 is not suitable for individuals with a peanut allergy under any circumstances.
Q4 — Can I use PB2 as a direct replacement for peanut butter in baking recipes?
Yes, with a simple conversion: replace each 2 tablespoons of conventional peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of PB2 powder plus 1 tablespoon of water. In recipes where additional moisture is not desirable (dry batters, spice blends), PB2 can sometimes be used dry without water — the surrounding liquid ingredients in the batter will hydrate the powder during mixing. The fat reduction from using PB2 instead of conventional peanut butter will produce a slightly drier final product — which can be compensated by adding a small amount of extra liquid or a tablespoon of coconut oil if a richer texture is required.
Q5 — How many servings does the 184g jar provide?
At approximately 12g per serving (2 tablespoons), the 184g jar provides approximately 14 to 15 servings. At one serving per day, the jar provides approximately 2 weeks of supply. For athletes using PB2 in daily smoothies or as a daily spread, the 184g jar is the compact, single-serving format — appropriate for trialling the product or for occasional use.
