    Surely its good for you? Unless you're eating gallons of it and getting in the way of weight loss then its great!

    I have a big dollop of PB every day in my morning smoothie and I'm not a fan of the stuff, its just full of good fats and protein.

    I have been craving PB for a couple days, I probably should not have come to this thread. lol

    Yes, I find it very hard to limit it to 2T. Peanut butter, along with peanuts themselves and other nut butters, are very difficult for me to handle in moderation. Like you, giag09, if I didn't have kids in the house that eat it then it would be better that I didn't have it around.

    I do use PB2 in smoothies, shakes, etc. You are supposedly able to reconstitute it with water for use as peanut butter (on bread, toast, crackers, etc.), but I've never found that to work very well.

    I don't usually put my PB on bread or anything. I used to buy apples to dip in it, but all I was doing was eating the apple and then eating the peanut butter with a spoon. Haha.

    I still do that - but I like apples!

    Anyway, since I love peanut butter so much, I don't want to dilute it with anything! I find I am more satisfied when I eat it on its own.

    Ditto

    OR sometimes on toast so it gets nice and gooey.

    I dip pretzel sticks in it. My husband puts it on squares of hershey's chocolate. Love it on raisin toast.

    PB is my desert island food. So versatile and sooooo delicious.

    I'm out of peanut butter right now. All that I have in my house is almond cookie butter. I had to hide it at the back of my pantry to keep myself from taking a spoon to that little slice of heaven.

    I've only ever bought Kraft brand.

    I won't do this powdered PB crap, or other nut butter or organic blah, noooooooo thank you.

    I'm into organic peanut butter these days, you have to remix it every time because it separates but I find it leaves me satisfied a lot longer. So much peanut goodness.

    Well, they just aren't peanut butter.

    I like the peanut flour (pb2) as a garnish on stuff, excellent when put on some roast pork, and drizzled with a little balsamic.

    Almond butter has its use, primarily in baking or sauce making. Sunflower seed butter though is just flat out delicious. Then hazelnut butter, warm it, add melted chocolate, profit.

    Pb2. Although it is expensive, it is amazing. I loooooove peanut butter. Before I changed my lifestyle, I could easily eat half a jar with Oreos.

    Oh yes! double stuff chocolate oreos (or in my case, the generic equivalent).
    Steps:
    1. Open cookie 1
    2. Place "half" with filling on plate.
    3. Spread peanut butter on the emptier piece and eat
    5. Open Cookie 2
    6. Repeat steps 2-3
    7. Combine cookies 1 and 2, pressing just enough to get the filling to "join"
    8. Repeat steps 1-7 with the "new" cookie as cookie 1.
    9. Continue repeating steps until cookie 1 has enough* filling on it.
    10. Eat filling leaving cookie portion uneaten.
    11. repeat step 3. :)
    12. Be glad it is 2 am, and repeat as desired.
    Caution: This is not conducive to losing weight. FYI. ;)

    *-enough is purely personal preference.

    I LOVE peanut butter. I was actually just resisting ordering some new gourmet peanut butters I found. Honestly, if you REALLY love peanut butter, I do not think you would like PB2. I find it pretty disgusting.

    Slice an apple and add PB to each slice! Yummy!! I like the Peter Pan Whipped Peanut Butter.

    I carefully measure ONE Tablespoon (so, half a serving) and eat it right off the spoon...that way I'm getting getting 100% pure PB goodness, not "cut" like the cheap street stuff is.

    (I'm just taunting the "it's not an addiction" police)

    Better'n Peanut Butter. It's made with real peanuts, but 85% less fat and only 100 calories for 2 tablespoons. It's yummy. I eat it almost every day either in oatmeal or cream o wheat.

    I have the low sodium Better'n PB and love it. It's a good post workout snack.

    I don't think theres anything wrong with Jif! It's my favorite...

    I manage to avoid PB for the most part... Unless it's on a half an english muffin before I work out. B)

    Love Jif!!! But it's getting expensive, Wallymart has great value of Jif and it tastes exactly like Jif.
