For whatever reason, when i click onto that website, i'm not getting it - it tells me it's not available on this server. ii there another way of going to the website? Thanks.......I love pb, but hardly ever eat it because of it's high calories and fat.

My first order came in a little over a week. It really varies. Some people on online forums have taken 4-6 weeks.

I read about PB2 on this board Sunday and placed an order on-line that same evening.

I received my order on Wednesday, three days later.

Okay, here's my report:

IT'S GREAT!

Is that enough of a report?

Seriously, I ate some PB2 for the first time today. I mixed 2 TB with 1 TB water and ate it on 1/2 a pita. DELISH!

I am very pleased.

My hubby sort of made fun of me for buying it. But today I told him that 2 TB regular peanut butter has 200 cal. versus 2 TB PB2 having about 55 cal. and 75% less fat. Hubby seemed convinced.

Maybe next weekend I'll try to make my favorite cookies, PB/oatmeal. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Go to www.jenzjourney.com

for PB2 recipes. I don't know anything about weight watchers, but many refer to "points," so I'm assuming this is a WW site.

I was curious after reading this thread and decided to take the plunge and order the pb--here's hoping I'll like it as I'll have 4 jars!!! I love, love pb and could add it to just about anything so I'm really looking forward to trying it. To the other Canadian poster, have you received it yet?? How long did it take.....I"m so curious to try it!

Ok, I haven't read about the PB2 yet, I just wanted to read this bulletin first and after the first few replies I couldn't stop reading. What a fantastic post, it's cracking me up! SO many people with such love and devotion to peanut butter. I adore it. I'm going to go read that article right now

And this post is nothing (given that we are all willing to try a variation). There have been some very heated threads about both general love/adoration for the PB, the healthfulness (or not healthfulness of PB), and of course the natty vs. Jiffy brands of PB.

I am seriously excited to give it a whirl when Meri has made her way through her jars (though, clearly since I'm not brave enough to order myself, I am still a bit skeptical)

I agree, this is kind of funny isn't it. Florie, I'm in Edmonton. Starting to get some spring-like weather finally and enjoying running without so much "gear" on.

Apparently, the company has caught up with their backlog of orders. I placed my order online last night. Just checked the website and my order was shipped today. Already have a tracking number. Can't wait to get it. It better be yummy. I suckered a health conscious coworker to go in half with me. Hopefully, we won't have to end up using it to fertilize the garden or something.

If you do not like it, you could always pawn it off here.

Can you please post after you try it and report back?

Speaking of Peanut Butter. This morning I stopped in a coffee shop I frequent for a pre-run cup of Joe. They had somehow made a mistake with their (very rich) choc. chip cookies (over or under baked?) and had many break in half. Their solution ... spread PB on warm choc chip cookies and sell them as sandwiches. Luckily I was on my way to run and that kind of snack was a non-option.

BUT SERIOUSLY, the scent can not be described. It was like a devine invention
