I typically recommend avoiding yummy peanut butter due to the high calorie and fat content at 100 calories and 8 grams of fat per tbsp. and only 3.5 grams of protein. But, powdered peanut butter is a different story. Powered peanut butter is simply roasted peanuts without added fat and sugar. It is significantly lower in fat and calories at only 25 calories and less than 1 gram of fat per tbsp!

Powdered peanut butter makes a nice flavor addition to protein shakes and recipes. They were once only offered at specialty food stores, but are now available at Kroger, Publix, Wal-Mart and Super Target. Brands include PB2 and now JIF. JIF also offers a chocolate version.
