    You need to find peanut butter with just peanuts.. or peanuts and salt.
    all those brands have so much crap and sugar to mask the taste.. just bc it says natural doesn't mean anything the FDA doesn't have ruling on the word.

    I just recently tried PB2. It's powdered peanuts - you add water. super low calories/fat. Sold on-line, wal-mart & health food stores. Reminded of the peanut butter in candies, not totally real peanut butter but the fact that it doesn't have a bunch of additives and low fat/calories make it a good alternative while we trying to loose and they have it in chocolate.
    Ingredients: Roasted peanuts, sugar, salt.
    Serving size: 2 Tablespoons (12 grams)
    Servings per container: 15
    Calories: 45
    Calories from fat: 13

    I don't understand the PB2 love at all I guess. You can find peanut butter without any additives...the one I listed is just peanuts and salt. Someone else listed another brand that is the same. And I usually eat it for the calories and healthy fats it contains. Real peanut butter is healthier imo.

    To each their own. It tastes great, has all the protein and fat, and about a third the calories. I'm a fan.

    Bulkpowders.co.uk crunchy, no sugar, salt, fat or additives, just the PB.. And it's only about a fiver for a kg. I'd like to take this opportunity to say that the Cashew butter from myprotein.co.uk is bloody delightful.

    OK, so I guess I need to branch out and add Peter Pan Honey Roasted and PB&Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful to my grocery list. I usually just get the store brand peanut butter.

    I do like Vermont Almond Butter on apples, though...

    I have almond butter and PB2 (which I use in oatmeal). But sometimes we want real peanut butter.

    We have a couple places locally where we buy peanut butter that is 100% peanuts and nothing but peanuts. That is what I like, no added sugar, oil, or salt.

    Peterpan honey roasted is special stuff.

    I find PB2 pretty disgusting. LOL Fine for recipes, but if I want peanut butter, it just won't cut it.

    I really liked the Maranatha No Stir Raw Creamy, Maranatha Almond Butter Crunchy, Peanut Butter & Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful, & Jif Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter With A Touch Of Honey.

    My husband finished the jar yesterday... So we need to buy more.

    But I'm curious... I typically go with the 'natural' stuff without adding anything, but taste-wise... which brand is the best?

    I make my own peanut butter. It's easy and delicious.

    I like Jif, creamy or the whip variety. I also second the person who mentioned the Wegmans organic, it's not quite as good as Jif but personally I like it better than Peter Pan or Skippy.
