Protein Plus - Roasted All Natural Peanut Flour - 32 oz

I love this stuff and buy it regularly!! For a peanut butter addict, this offers a lower calorie alternative to add a peanut flavor to many dishes. With that said, this is not peanut butter, nor will adding water/milk/anything make it taste like real peanut butter. It will taste good, but not like real peanut butter. It's essentially the exact same as PB2 or any of those brand name powders but at a fraction of the cost. Peanut flour is awesome to mix on it's own, use in baking, or to add in foods normally calling for peanut flavor: anything from asian to sweets. I've used it in all of those scenarios and it works beautifully. It's also extremely high in protein and is a nice way to boost the protein content of meals. The bags come vacuum sealed and packed like a brick. Open them into a larger bag and take a few second to knead the chunks loose until you have soft powder. Keep it in your kitchen and add it to everything!

I don't always write reviews for products that are good and have many good reviews because I don't always have anything more or different to say... But, I did for this product. Yes it IS very good! I have been trying different powdered peanut butter/flours over the last few years and so far prefer this one and I have reordered several times. Why this brand? Mostly because of the flavor being a little better than some others and I like the vacuum packaging. I have gotten peanut pwd./flour in VERY LARGE plastic containers and even though the pwd. is loose and fluffy it's awkward to handle and dispense even with the little included scoop it's a bit clumsy. ( I do have some pain issues with my hands). I got some that came in smaller jars but didn't care for the flavor and didn't want any added ingrd. . I do like peanuts & peanut butter but wanted a lower fat alternative to add protein to my diet but not as much calories and fat. The powdered peanut flour sounded like a good option. So far I like using it many different ways; adding water to make " lite" peanut butter,adding it to protein shakes, yogurt,oatmeal and baking with it. I do have to add sea salt to it for my taste. I love salt but want to be able to add it, or not, myself. Protein Plus Roasted Peanut pwd. is the best tasting of the 4-5 different brands I've tried. AND it is just " peanuts", that's it, Nothing else.If you decide to try it - When the vacuum sealed bag arrives make sure you cut it open below the lines you can see pressed into the package to seal it. If you cut it down far enough it will open up to a full square opening, if it's still attached at the side folds, cut it down a little lower until it opens completely. This will make it much easier to use it from the package. If you leave the side folds connected at the top it will be messy and drive you nuts. I didn't do that one time because I was in a hurry and continued to wipe peanut pwd. sprinkles off my counter top until I took 20 sec. to trim a 1/4 " more off the top of the bag. Now I make sure to do it right the first time. Such a small thing can make things so much easier. The powder is compressed and does come out in clumps at first but breaks-up easily and mixes in smoothly with little effort. As with most flours, peanut flour will dry out a little unless tightly sealed. Hint* If you have dry winter air/ dry air-conditioned air or if you choose to store in fridge you MAY need to add a little more liquid in some baking recipes when substituting peanut pwd. for reg.flour.( ie: breads, cakes,muffins,cookies). This brand is worth trying for both the good flavor and adding a simple,natural protein supplement to your diet

This is one of my two favorite brands of peanut flour, the other being Hoosier Hill. They are both clean and simple products, with no added junk. I use peanut flour in smoothies, for baking, in pancakes, and to supplement regular peanut butter for normal peanut butter uses. To be clear, peanut butter tastes so good because fat has flavor, and much of the fat has been removing in the making of these powders. Hence the fact that they taste like peanut, but without all the richness of peanut butter. Many brands address the loss of flavor by adding salt and sugar. I personally try to avoid added sugar wherever possible, and I can easily add salt myself if I need to. I find that in smoothies and for baking, the other ingredients round out the flavor well enough. When I use it as regular peanut butter, I will use 1-2T peanut flour with about 1/2 T natural peanut butter, a pinch of salt and enough water to get the desired consistency. It still does not taste quite as rich as peanut butter alone, but I get a much larger portion with a lot more protein than if I had just used peanut butter. For me that is a satisfactory trade off. One other use I have found for peanut flour is to make flavored protein peanut butter like you can buy in expensive jars in a sports nutrition place. I use 1 part peanut flour, 1 part peanut butter, and about 4 parts protein powder, plus enough milk (whatever kind) to get the desired consistency. I have tried banana, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla protein powders (plus cinnamon or whatever else sounds good) and all have turned out well. (Be aware that different types of protein powder - whey, casein, plant, etc. will give different results in terms of texture.) You could probably leave out the protein powder if you wanted and just do equal parts peanut butter and peanut flour with vanilla extract, cocoa powder, honey, etc.

I had been buying pb2 which I love and was nervous to buy this because I didn't know how it would compare but I liked the lower price. I also like that it doesn't contain sugar. I'm happy with my purchase as it is very similar in taste and I can add my own preferred sweetener - stevia. I also add a pinch of salt and it brings out the flavor. I use this to top my oatmeal, add it to smoothies and make pancakes! To top oatmeal or pancakes I take 2 tablespoons of peanut flour, mix with 2 + tablespoons water, pinch salt and a packet of stevia and pour over or use it as a dip for raw apple or celery. Only 55 calories and high in protein.
