PB2 Foods, the company known for pioneering powdered peanut butter, has introduced PB2Go Cups — a new ready-to-mix product now available at Walmart stores nationwide.
The PB2Go Cups are designed to offer a convenient and portable way for individuals to enjoy high-protein peanut butter snacking away from home. Each cup comes pre-portioned with powdered peanut butter and features a spoon stored inside the lid. Consumers are expected to simply add cold water up to a fill notch, stir, and consume directly from the container.
PB2 Foods makes its PB2Go Cups available in two varieties — Original Powdered Peanut Butter and Peanut Powder with Chocolate Chips. These cups deliver 10 to 11 grams of protein per serving while retaining the nutritional profile that distinguishes PB2 from traditional peanut butter, namely significantly lower fat and fewer calories.
