Reviews recommend PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter for peanut butter lovers looking to reduce their fat intake. TheNibble.com says much of the oil is removed from the peanuts before being converted to a powder that you mix with water. The result is close to the consistency and taste of other brands of creamy peanut butter, but with 85 percent less fat. If you want a natural peanut butter that's ready-to-eat, Skippy Natural Creamy (*Est. $2.40 for a 15-oz. jar) doesn't require stirring like some natural peanut butters.
Like other reduced-fat peanut butters, expert reviews of PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter are scarce. We did find one comparison of powered peanut butters at DailyGarnish.com. TheNibble.com provides an in-depth look at PB2. We found the best consumer opinions at Amazon.com and Chowhound.com.

Emily Malone is a vegetarian chef and longtime user of PB2 Powered Peanut Butter. This blog compares PB2 to two other brands of powdered peanut butter. PB2 is still her favorite. She says it's not as good as regular peanut butter, but "close enough to be a more than acceptable substitute."
Review: Powdered Peanut Butter: A Review and Taste Test, Emily Malone, September 2010
TheNibble.com says its reviews are not influenced by advertising and this one reads like it isn't, although it's not a comparative review. The review asserts that PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is actually powdered peanuts rather than powdered peanut butter, and while it in no way rivals peanut butter for taste, appearance and texture, it's a great choice for dieters and for recipes.

Review: Powdered Peanut Butter -- 85 Percent Less Fat and Calories, Contributors to Amazon.com
A "chowhound" is different from a "foodie," supposedly, because a chowhound cares about a food's taste rather than a restaurant's atmosphere or popularity or a brand label. As with any specialized message board, people can write whatever they want, but the consensus, albeit a very small one, is that PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter tastes good.
