Why Is There So Much Protein in Greek Yogurt?

Greek yogurt is loaded with protein. Filtering out the whey (the liquid that collects on top of yogurt) makes the yogurt thicker without losing any protein. As a result, the amount of protein in 1/2 cup of regular yogurt is less than in Greek yogurt.

Add less than a tablespoon of peanut butter powder, and you get even more protein without all the calories. KEEP READING to find out more about peanut butter powder.

What is Powdered Peanut Butter?

1. How is Powdered Peanut Butter (such as PB2) Made?

Peanuts are roasted and then pressed until they give up their oil. This results in powdered peanut butter. Added sugar and salt may enhance the flavor.

2. Is Powdered Peanut Butter Healthier than Regular Peanut Butter?

Consumer Reports states, “With most of the fat gone—powdered peanut butterhas about 85 percent less than regular—you’re left with protein and fiber.” That means the calories will be less. However, the grams of protein and fiber are the same.

3. Which Brand Should I Buy?

My favorite brand of powdered peanut butter is PBFIT or PB2. The people at 99 Boulders agree with me. However, they suggest other good brands if you can’t find PBFIT.

I buy powdered peanut butter at Target or Walmart, which is also available online. (paid link) Recently, I saw it in the bulk bins at Winco.

Combining yogurt with regular peanut butter can be challenging, especially if you do it by hand. But, as it turns out, powdered peanut butter mixes intoyogurt more quickly and smoothlythan actual peanut butter.

Using regular peanut butter will increase the fat and calories considerably. I’m not saying it isn’t good–just letting you know.
