How Healthy Are These "Health Foods?" We Asked Top Nutritionists to Find Out

Claim: PB2 is an alternative to nut butters with less calories and fat.

What the experts say: "If you're a true nut lover and you've tasted Pb2, you might be disappointed with the low-fat, low-calorie alternative because it's a bit chalky and can be difficult to produce the same creamy consistency," says nutritionist and holistic health coach Jen Silverman. "However, for 60 calories and 1.5g of fat, compared to 190 calories and 16g of fat in a real nut butter, I'd say it's a win! Add them to smoothies, spread them on bread, crackers or fruits. Pb2 is a good flavor match, but because it's significantly lower in fat and calories, it won't satiate you the same as nuts or a true nut butter."

Verdict: Healthy, albeit not quite as tasty as a true nut butter!
