Reddit reviews Bell Plantation Powdered PB2 Bundle: 1 Peanut Butter and 1 Chocolate Peanut Butter, 1 lb Jar (2-pack)

PB2

1 serving of instant oatmeal

.5-1 servings of protein powder (I use strawberry smoothie flavor)


Make oatmeal as usual to desired thickness, then stir in protein powder. I've found that it mixes better with more watery oatmeal, but that's personal preference.

Knock-off Chipotle

1 serving of instant rice

.5 can of black beans

1 can of Ro-Tel or something similar

.5 cup Shredded Mexican cheese or cheddar cheese

Lime juice to taste

Cilantro to taste (fresh tastes better but dry works fine too)

Salt to taste


Cook rice in microwave. While rice is cooking, open cans. Divide black beans in half, put half in the fridge and half in a microwaveable container. Put Ro-Tel in a separate microwaveable container.
When rice is finished, microwave beans and tomatoes until they're warm. Drain beans and tomatoes. Sprinkle cilantro and lime juice on rice to taste. Dump beans and tomatoes on rice, add shredded cheese and salt to taste.

This usually makes two small meals or one big meal for me.

Milkshake

1 frozen bananas, broken into quarters

1 cup almond milk (coconut, soy, rice, or cow milk is fine too)

1-2 servings of PB2 OR 1 serving protein powder


Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If it's too thin but you don't want to add more banana or pb2, toss in some ice cubes.

Tuna salad

1 can tuna, drained

5 tsp regular mustard (doesn't have to be exact-use more or less to taste)

2 T capers or 1 serving hot banana peppers, chopped (or both, if you're adventurous)


Mix together, eat plain or on bread.

You can use canned salmon instead of tuna, since you're only supposed to eat tuna a couple times a week.

You can substitute relish instead of capers/banana peppers, although I've only tried that with tuna, not salmon. Relish is also a lot sweeter and less savory than the other two options.

Spinach

1 bag of microwave in bag spinach

1 T olive oil

2-4 T Parmesan cheese


Microwave spinach. When it's done, pour it into a bowl. Mix with olive oil and parmesan cheese.


If you want to know the calorie count/nutritional breakdown, try MyFitnessPal, and just add each ingredient individually. Off hand though, they should mostly provide a good balance of complex carbs and protein. (Except the milkshake... That one really depends how you make it)


All of this can be supplemented with veggies that you microwave in the bag. I tend to eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green beans. All of them can be seasoned either with butter/butter spray or olive oil and lemon pepper. I also drink V8 if I feel like I haven't gotten enough veggies (I love the taste though, so I'd probably drink it anyway tbh)

Sorry for the word wall... Hope this helps!

Just got a few lbs of it off Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBCGYMG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Stuff labeled as "peanut butter powder" such as this are generally pretty expensive. I try to look for "peanut flour" like this. They are the same thing just the flour doesn't have salt or sugar and isnt labeled as a specialty product, it's just a flour replacement. Both can be reconstituted with milk or water to make peanut butter and be added to smoothies and baked goods.

This powdered PB stuff mixes in easily, improves the texture and taste immensely. I mean it's a game changer for me I had stalled out on soylent because I just wasn't eating enough of it, now I am cruising through my backlog and will have to order more soon.

I feel like I can relate to you. I too have horrible fatigue issue, I feel that every 4-6 hrs I get an extreme fatigue crash, and I need to seek a nap or most often caffeine.

ADHD med don't really affect my appetite, so I can easily eat. I need to get back to the routine of eating every 3 hours, but I recall it kinda help, but not really.

Even eating healthier ( I usually eat a decent amount of fruit/veg a day), such as breakfast I drink a protein smoothie or even an orange smoothie with kale/spinnach. I still had my typical fatigue crash.

Food is definitely important. Maybe I need to treat myself as a diabetic and eat more snack between.

I strongly suggest PB2( link below), it's peanut butter powder, but healthier/calorie dense ( better than most protein powder and definitely cheaper). Even adding 1-2 banana because the magnesium helps with my body aches occasionally. You can even make protein bars with the powder as well, just search youtube for a generic vid.

My mother suggested for me to get a sleep study as well, since she claims it gives a lot of energy when she wake up. However, she snores and I don't, so i'm not sure if it will work for me.

I am just curious, has anyone used that PB2 with chocolate in it (PB2 on amazon link)? I was wondering if using this vs the cocoa nibs... if no one has I was was going to do 10 oz regular and 10 oz with the chocolate to see what comes of it.
