I’d probably bathe in peanut butter if it wouldn’t inevitably lead to a Tijuana divorce lawyer, but let’s face it — nobody wants to lug a jar of the stuff on a fishing trip.
Which is why PB2 — recommended by a fave screenwriter (writers clearly outpace fishermen when it comes to powdered peanut butter food products) — just sounds like something I should buy.
By the case.
Hmmmm, peanut butter… but better.
I even just discovered a chocolate version.
(Excuse me. I need to be alone for a minute.)
See you in peanut butter heaven, Tom Chandler.
I also just discovered this stuff. I have to order it online, but it’s worth it. Not as good Jif, but not far off considering it has 15 percent of Jif’s calories.

Jif?? Well, we’ll let it slide (as long as you don’t try to tell us you mix the powder with PBR…)

Screw the damn Mars rover. This is the sort of thing we need scientists focused on!

Exactly. You can’t eat Mars.

Well, in bar form.

I eat mine with powdered strawberry jam and a tablespoon of wheatgerm.

I tend to take the pre made pb crackers fishing mostly due to laziness…. not quite sure I see how it can be any good with no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives ???? Is that healthy? Is it legal?

You have a point. Preservatives help you live a good, long, preserved life.

Hmmm,I prefer Adams PB myself…Crunchy of course. Adams was a local brand up here in BillGatesLand till the company was sold and production outsourced to Ohio or someplace foreign like that…It seperates out so you have to stir it together and keep it in the fridge…..It’s gooood stuff and makes an amazing satay sauce when mixed with Sriracha chili sauce….

Awesome! I’ll buy a box of the chocolate PB packets and we’ll do a taste test. This could be the perfect backpacking food.

Justin’s Organic Peanut Butter and Organic Almond Butter packets are great for the backcountry. They’re like Gu Packets but contain delicious, natural peanut butter instead.

You had me until “natural.”

I just got back from a four day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada and while “trapped” in my tent during a brief rainstorm, I focused intently on mixing some PB2 (chocolate version) and creating some perfect little peanut butter cracker sandwiches and I can say this stuff is excellent.
A little dicey to mix with the powder wanting to go everywhere except into the bowl, and cleaning the bowl is reminiscent of intercepting Mom’s “empty” frosting bowl before it made it to the dishwasher — messy, but finger licking good. But then, you have Wally… it would be clean in no time.

Excellent. Though personally, I have yet to find a use for the chocolate version.
Guess I’m a purist then….
