| The flavor by itself is a little tough to tolerate. Adding sweetener really helps as well as some chopped peanuts. However, what makes it work really well is add a tablespoon of "real" natural peanut butter to the jar and it will taste like the real thing all the way through, less all the fat/cals of real peanut butter but not sacrificing and struggling with the not so pleasant taste of the spread on it's own. |

| Not peanut butter in the slightest. It is very sweet. The texture is a bit odd as well. It is kind of jelly/creamy like but globby, not smooth. I like the taste but again, not peanut buttery just a different sort of spread. It DOES taste good however don't expect the same consistency or flavor as your typical peanut butter. |

| This stuff is okay..it isn't thick like real peanut butter, it has more of a putting consistency and it's more salty than sweet. Maybe when I put it on my low carb bran bread it'll taste better. Again it's not bad but it's definitely not peanut butter. |

| This is most certainly not peanut butter. It's a sweet flavored spread with a hint of peanut to it. In small amounts, it isn't so bad. I added one serving of peanut butter to the jar to try and add some peanut taste and kept it in the fridge to improve the spreadable consistency. It's consistency is much more like apple butter than peanut butter. All that said, I enjoy it with my celery as a guilt free snack. For what it is, it works just fine. And even with the added peanut butter, the entire jar had less than 200 calories. |

| By itself, this is like flavored vaseline. I mix it in with the powdered PB2 and/or with regular peanut butter so that it goes farther. I can't have straight peanut butter or I'll eat the whole jar so using this in addition lets me have more spread without the extra calories and fat. |

| It's pretty much inedible on it's own in my opinion. However, it's no-cal, so I guess that's the trade off... What you have to do is combine it with other foods and at least then you get to enjoy the peanut butter consistency. I had some on my pancakes today (doused in syrup), and it was good. You can also mix it at a 1:1 ratio with regular natural peanut butter, and that seems to cover up the chemical taste. I'll try it with a protein shake today.... |

| A good satisfying substitute for sugary fatty peanut butter. Use with celery sticks or on bread with jelly. It has a slight aftertaste, so do not overdo! |

| When I first bought this product, I was pretty disappointed. However, after I added some splenda and 2 tbsp. of real peanut butter, it tasted great. Not too much, not too little. This way, I get 12 servings of peanut butter with 1/12 the calories! ! For an extra punch, add 3 tsp. of splenda brown sugar :D |

| This is ok, but it does NOT have the same texture as real peanut butter. It is thinner. The taste is a little "different." I think the calorie savings is worth it. I mix it with real peanut butter. |
