Holy moly, my door step has been getting quite a workout this week! Does everyone else know that it’s Birthday Week or something?
Not only did I get that amazing box of Peanut Butter Cheerios, but I also found another equally amazing package waiting for me yesterday afternoon…
A Chobani care package, filled with all three of their newest flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit. I can already attest to the fact that the apple cinnamon and blood orange flavors are some of the most delicious things on the planet; I still have yet to try the passion fruit, but don’t worry, it’s on my agenda.
I debated on trying it for a mid-morning snack today, however, I just could not resist that darn apple cinnamon.
It’s just that good.
Fast-forward a few hours and it was time for lunch (which was actually eaten shortly after I took all of those crazy things out of my hair).
I had a simple turkey wrap today, made with a few slices of low-sodium deli turkey, a generous smear of hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, and bread & butter pickles, all on a LaTortilla Factory High Fiber Whole Wheat wrap.
I paired the wrap with some carrots and tomatoes with extra hummus to round out the meal.
Shortly after lunch, there was another ring of my doorbell, which turned out to be my most recent order from iHerb.com.
iHerb.com is my go-go website for buying my beloved PB2, and I noticed the other day that I was running low and figured I should stock up. Not only did I order two jars of the regular, but I also splurged and finally decided to go for the chocolate PB2.
I have high hopes for this dreamy little jar. Don’t you worry, I’m sure you guys will be seeing it around these parts soon enough and I’ll fill ya in. Has anyone else tried it yet? Is it as wonderful as I’m imagining?
Since peanut butter is sort of my thaaang lately, I decided to try another new one, in the form of Justin’s Honey Peanut Butter Blend. I’ve seen Justin’s PB around for a while, but I can’t remember ever trying it before.
Either way, it has honey, so I’m excited.
The last item in my order is another one that I’m also particularly psyched to try out. I ended up coming across this Sweet Leaf Liquid Stevia in English Toffee flavor and before I knew it, it was in my shopping cart.
I can only imagine how this is going to taste in my morning coffee tomorrow!

Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
wow girl, you’ve gotten all sorts of fabulous goodies this week! like you said, just in time for your birthday week! :) i still haven’t tried any of the new chobani flavors and especially can’t wait to try out the apple cinnamon one. it sounds SO good! as for the chocolate PB2… can’t wait to hear what you think! i’ve been loving the regular PB2 that i ordered from iHerb last week thanks to you. ;)
Kelley says
Love your blog!!!! Just curious what is pb2??
Jen O. says
Kelley – It’s a peanut butter that has 85% less fat/calories and no preservatives. It’s so, so delicious!! There’s the regular flavor and the chocolate.
Jen O. says
It’s a /powdered/ pb. Forgot to add that important little detail…haha. You just add it to water…or yogurt…or a smoothie…lol…the list is endless… :)
Courtney says
Thanks for helping me out there, Jen! Well explained :)
Kathryn says
I haven’t tried Stevia thing, mainly because I can’t stand Stevia, but I’ve done english toffee coffee and let me tell you: YUM! Enjoy!
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
Those are some amazing packages! The English Toffee Liquid Stevia really intrigues me!! So much you could do with that. I may have to go check out iHerb..
Kaitlin @4loveofcarrots says
So I had heard of PB2 but never knew what it was until I just went onto iherb. I was wondering how you use it when adding it to oats. Do you just add the powder to your oats of make the pb according to the container first?
Courtney says
You could add it straight to the oats I would think, but I usually mix it with water and then put it over the top.
Molly Antos says
I have a feeling you’ll have another fabulous package arriving not TOO long from now. Jealous of your CHO though. I LOVE the apple cinnamon.
Courtney says
:-D
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
Can’t wait to hear what you think of the other new Chobani flavors! I haven’t seen them in my grocery stores yet though : (
Brittany says
I’ve heard of Powdered Peanut Butter but was wondering how you use it? Do you mix it with water to create peanut butter? Or can you add it directly into oatmeal, baking, etc.?
It seems likes a great idea with such a low calorie count but high amount of protein. Would love some advice! Thanks! :)
Coral says
brittany, you can do all of the above with pb2! it’s really versatile. it doesn’t have the same mouth feel as peanut butter, but you can make it the consistency you want it to be by adding more or less water
j. says
i also like to mix it with a little unsweetened almond milk (or any milk). you only need about 1 tbsp of liquid so in my mind it’s basically equivalent to water but makes it very, very creamy.
Courtney says
Oooo, never thought about adding almond milk!! Thanks for the tip! :)
erica says
i just tried the passion fruit flavor! the flavor is DELICIOUS, but i hate that the seeds are left in. i don’t like eating the seeds :(
Linda says
I agree…the flavor was good, but I couldn’t get past the seeds! The blood orange and apple cinnamon are my new favorites.
Courtney says
That’s what I’m afraid of too, haha…I’m not a huge seed person either!
Coral says
i have tried the chocolate pb2 and i think it is wayyyyyy better than the regular pb2. on a side note, i buy peanut flour from iherb and it is just like pb2, but it’s way cheaper AND you get more! i would highly recommend it if you like pb2!
Catherine says
ahh i agree! the chocolate pb2 is to die for youre going to be putting it on everything you eat…every..thing….(scrambled eggs, just kidding gross)
but seriously i love to make this amazing single serving healthy brownie and drizzle some chocolate pb2 on top ( http://spoonfulofsugarfree.com/2010/12/03/a-bitter-christmas/ )
chocolate overload? i think not!
Courtney says
Umm, okay, that sounds amazing!
Mallory @ Have Your Cake and Eat it says
i still have to try the new flavors! i tend to stick to the plain and vanilla because there is just so much sugar in all the regular ones – but ill have to try them at least once!
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine says
Cannot believe you haven’t tried Chocolate PB2 – it’s AMAZING. I have even gotten my coworkers hooked on it.
DSK Steph says
I love PB2! It’s the best with vanilla ice cream :)
j. says
i really like the chocolate PB2 made with a little unsweetened almond milk
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Oooh I think I would love that peanut butter with honey!! Add a little banana on top, and it would be the perfect breakfast!!
Diana says
I LOVE JUSTINS! They come in little individual packets, too, which is perfect for pb munchin on the go!
I also adore Julie…I’m so glad she won your giveaway! :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Sweet words here too! You are the best!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Yay for Julie!! I <3 her!
My doorstep has been busy lastely too – I'm not complaining!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
lastely? am i on drugs?
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Aren’t you just the sweetest gal ever! :) First, winning this awesome tree and now such sweet words- I am one lucky girl!
Mandee says
It’s weird–I love the Pom seeds in the pomegranate cho, but I hate the seeds in the passion fruit cho. The flavor is awesome but the seeds are a little too crunchy for my liking in yogurt… If that makes sense!
Annnd they now have pb2 reg and choc in Whole Foods! I was stoked!
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
I got my chobani today too!
and YES chocolate PB2 is amazing. i mix with water and stevia into a chocolatey pudding paste…mmm
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
Ahh, they STILL don’t have those new Chobani flavors at my store!! You are making me so jealous!
Jessica @bakealittle says
I am so jealous of all your packages! Those chobani look amazing- WANT :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Thank you *so* much! I was so stinking shocked to see my name down there! Yay for the kindness of others! Thank you!
I have never had PB2 but I’m thinking I need to get my hands on some! Sounds delicious from all the comments up there! Especially the chocolate flavor!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I’ve only been able to find the Apple Cinnamon once but I am in LOVE with it!
Jillian @ Sprinkle Massacre says
I tried the choco PB2. I was actually kind of disappointed because it tasted basically the same as the regular PB2! :(
Colleen @ Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill says
I’ve tried the liquid stevia before and it’s really good in a protein shake or in oatmeal! It adds the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. I know I’ve tried the chocolate, but I can’t remember if I have had the English toffee flavor.
Victoria (District Chocoholic) says
The chocolate PB2 doesn’t taste like chocolate or peanut butter and is kind of gross.
Courtney says
Really?!? :(
Melanie says
Thanks for the coupon code, Courtney! I just went and ordered some pb2 and got a nice little discount! I love this stuff. I don’t have any stores in my area that sell it so I am happy to have found another site that offers it. I have tried the chocolate pb2 and it’s definitely good, but nothing can compare with the original! Thanks again for helping me save some mulah. It’s always appreciated!
Jill says
Just placed my first order at iherb.com – can’t wait to try the pb2. Thanks Courtney :)
Brandi @ Faith Fitness and Laughter says
Yay! Goodies! Two things….I just saved iHerb.com to my favorites and have my cart full and I will be dreaming of chobani yogurt tonight! :)
PB2 is totally in my cart! I have seen that on 3 blogs today alone. :)
Lindsey says
I love Justin’s nut butters! The Maple Almond Butter is my favorite so far! I cannot wait to try the new Chobani’s with I am in the States in 4 short weeks :)
Alba&Dilek @TwoBaklavaStory says
I loved the blood orange Chobani! I can’t wait to try the apple cinnamon one tomorrow morning!
Khushboo says
I’ve never tried Choc Pb 2 but all I’m thinking is that there’s major potential for a Reeses smoothie!
Annette says
Justins Honey Almond butter is the bee’s. Absolutely dee-lish :) I’m sure the peanut one will be just as fab!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I’ve only ever tried the individual packets of Justins before. It was good, but I can’t bring myself to spend $10 on an entire jar!
Courtney says
It’s only $5.34 at iHerb, FYI ;-)
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Awesome! Wow, Target really jacks up the price!
Hope says
So awesome that you got all of those goodies!! I swear the Apple Cinnamon Chobani is heavenly! :) It’s definitely the best flavor. I’ve always wanted to try Justin’s peanut butter but it’s just so darn expensive.
Kristin @ FoodFash says
I love iherb.com! It’s my go-to website for any kind of supplement. It’s so much cheaper than the store and everything arrives so quickly. I didn’t know they had PB2 on there though! Good to know.
Becky @ Fit Chick on the Fly says
I’ve been looking all over the dang place for the apple cin. flavor! I can’t find it and I’m craving it sooooo bad!
Jess @ Truly.Into.Fitness says
The Chocolate PB2 is AMAZING:) You’ll love it:) Sometimes I mixed the two:)
Pamela says
The powdered peanut butter fascinates me! Just submitted my 1st order on iherb! Thanks for the coupon code :)
Courtney says
Awesome!!
Nicole says
I am a big fan of the chocolate PB2- it isn’t super chocolatey- but just the right amount! I was on a huge PB2 kick for awhile so I had to take a break but I am back on it full force. Don’t know what I did before it!
Shana says
I love the Chocolate PB2. It’s like a gooey Reese’s cup! Even though the stats aren’t much different (a little more sugar) I reserve it for special treats and use regular PB2 on a daily basis. You can make your own chocolate PB2 by adding a pinch of cocoa powder and powdered sugar to the regular stuff.
Jolynn says
mmm Chocolate PB2 is delightful!! I’ve always wanted to buy those flavored liquid stevias too but I can’t talk myself into spending the money on them :/
Debbie (Accidently Delish) says
i LOVE the new chobani flavors, but i have yet to try the passionfruit as well.
the first time i tried PB2 it was the chocolate. it’s good, i put it on top of my oats, but i’m sorry PB2 is not peanut butter. and i know people eat it because it’s lower in calories blah blah. i say suck it up and eat the real thing! haha.
but it is pretty tasty if you like PB2.
so jealous of the giveaway winner. i WILL win one. haha.
have a great week doll ♥
Courtney says
I totally agree, Debbie. PB2 is delicious, but will never EVER be a replacement for the real thing. I love adding it on top of oats, in yogurt, or spread on a VitaTop, but I never use it in a sandwich or on an English muffin. For that, I need the real deal. ;)
Erin says
You’ll love chocolate PB2 for sure!! You can spread it on your new Vitatops =)
Courtney says
Yes!!
michelle kim says
Omg! If I received a box of Chobani like that, I would probably do a backflip. You’re so lucky!
I’ve seen those flavors at Target, but I still have yet to try them. I also finished the box of peanut butter cheerios last week! I love any and all things PB, so that picture with all the different PB you bought made me all giddy :)
Heather says
I have only had the apple cinnamon (of the new ones) and strawberry banana is sitll my favorite!
Sarah says
I NEED to get my hands on some PB2!
Laura @ Unchartered 20s says
There’s something i simply love about a full box of chobani like that!! :)
