Oh Costco, you are so mean!
A while ago I wrote how they took away Kodiak Cakes from their stores. Devastation! Horror! Tragedy!
Well happy news, they brought them back so yay! Kodiak Cakes came back in to my life and I was a happy camper.
Costco, being worse than a jilted ex who keeps popping in to your life to mess with your head, has now discontinued another staple of my food world.
Devastation! Horror! Tragedy!
Costco, what are you trying to do to me? 😦
PB2, a food you may or may not have heard of, was most affordable if bought at Costco but sadly they have removed it from their regular stock. *pout*
Guess who blew their food budget out of the water to stock up on 4 containers of the stuff? This girl!
Yes ok, it can be bought at GNC and other health nut stores but in smaller containers for more money. Uh…no thanks! Hence stocking up today, before the last store in my area ran out of the last little bit of their stock.
In case you have no idea what PB2 is lemme give you the lowdown. It is a peanut butter alternative, a powdered peanut butter. You can either add water to the powder to bring it back to normal peanut butter consistency or add it in powdered form to smoothies, oatmeal, all sorts of things.
Some of the ways I have used it…
(1) 2Tbls PB2 mixed with 1 1/2Tbls water so it is a bit runny, like heated up peanut butter, then I dipped sliced apples in it
(2) mix it with water to normal peanut butter consistency and spread it on my Kodiak Cakes (like pancakes), or on bread
(3) in powdered form put it in oatmeal, omg so good in oatmeal!
(4) in powdered form added it in to a smoothie
(5) made it in to peanut butter consistency and used it in a baking recipe
Basically anywhere you use peanut butter you can use PB2 for fewer calories, fat, etc.
I haven’t used it in anywhere near all the ways others have, a lot of people use it to make a peanut sauce for cooked dishes, which I like the sound of but have no idea how to make a normal peanut sauce let alone a modified version lol
A source told me when she lived in a small town and had no stores nearby to buy it from she ordered it online for about $8 a jar so I guess that will be something to look in to once my stockpile runs out. I reeeeeally hope by then Costco has come to their senses and brought it back though because seriously, taking it away, so mean!
