I was wishing they had Peanut Butter flavored Grow! Whey and it got me to thinking. How do you guys mix your peanut butter up in your shakes? I tried and it was just clumps in my drink.
it seems cheaper than buying it directly from the manufacturer but I don’t know with shipping costs. They also have a chocolate version

has anyone else tried powdered peanut butter? It has fewer calories and I was thinking it might be great with Grow! Whey, or Superfood, or just baking.
the idea of powdered peanut butter makes me want to never ever eat again (of course that would never happen, because besides from the fact you need to eat to live, you also need to eat to build muscle - which is more important)

Why not use a blender ? If you do not have access to one when you are ready to have your shake, why not pre-blend the peanut butter with the liquid? Then you can just add the pre-blended mix to your protein powder.

I don’t want to clean the blender after every shake. And I was thinking this would be good for convenience, less calories and better mixability.
I haven’t tried the peanut butter in a blender but I don’t see how it would emulsify it in the shake. Does it? I would think the ratio of peanut butter to liquid would have to be fairly equal, but I haven’t tried it.
I have had success in blending peanut butter in my shakes only when consuming them immediately after they have been blended. I am not sure how pre-blending would work. It MIGHT have a tendency to seperate. Only my intuition tells me the pre-blending approach would work.
I tried this during my contest prep, thinking that it has less cals, and can be added to my oatmeal. Bottom line,… it’s not fooling anyone. I now sprinkle it on my dog’s kibbles each morning, she’s a big fan

oh no!!!
it sucked?
I suppose everything is a matter of taste as phatkins gave it a thumbs up.
I should’ve been more specific…only a mixer for me. I don’t like the chocolate peanut butter, either. Go with the original and you should be satisfied. I’d say it’s tastier and MUCH easier to mix than many natty PBs.
