my step daughter is moving in with us soon and she has a serious peanut allergy. I love Jif natural peanut butter currently and looking to try a substitute either with sunflower or almond. Curious what brands you like?

Sorry. I'm aware of almond butter but there are all kinds. What brand do you prefer?0
-
I really like the MaraNatha brand almond butter...especially their dark chocolate almond spread...It tastes like nutella without all the added sugar0
-
A few of the grocery stores near me have fresh almond butter - big machines full of almonds and you just press a button to grind them into a container. That's my favorite and there is no sugar.0

I'll look into that. I'm going to have to get used to a different texture/taste either way you cut it! I don't use much anyways as it is...thx.0 -

Define good. Lol. I know they take back items you don't like but I'm not one to do that. Am I the only peanut butter weirdo that fears trying a new one?0 -
PB2 isn't bad... Some local stores carry this, but it isn't cheap. Walden Farms 0 calorie peanut butter was horrible.0

I'm so sorry for your loss..0

Correct. Pb2 is still peanut butter.0 -

A life without peanut butter? I feel your pain
Could you not have a secret stash somewhere away from the home? Like in the car or at work?0 -

If I really need a peanut butter fix it will come from a pb twix while out alone with ample hand washing and travel scope. But then really isn't that silly. I'll get over it. Lol0 -
Wowbutter, or I.M. healthy soynut butter. Both are on amazon, and I've seen wowbutter at walmart as well. They are totally peanut free.0

Tahini is pb-ish, I also love almond butter, macadamia butter, Brazil nut butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter... You name it, I've probably got a jar of it. I prefer them to peanut...0

I 2nd the tahini paste suggestion. Very good.0

I keep peanut butter at work it's great for snacks.0

I love Pb2 and eat it once or twice a day. I get it pretty cheap at BJ's Warehouse, 1 big tub for $9.99. It easily lasts about a month or a little longer.0 -
Have you asked her what she prefers? Why does it have to be life without peanut butter for you? If she has a peanut butter allergy, she has to learn to say no to anything containing peanuts. You can't just remove it from life for her so denying yourself peanut butter doesn't really accomplish anything, in my opinion. Have your jar of peanut butter in a different cupboard than her almond butter (or whatever she likes).0

Some folks have reactions to peanuts on another person's breath. So it would depend on the situation. Asking doesn't hurt though.

It has nothing to do with her learning to say no to peanut butter. She's 18 and fully aware! It's safety. If she accidentally came in contact with any peanut product (or even someone's breath) she will go into anaphylaxis shock, immediately. Even just a small untraceable amount in a jelly jar or even the sink could send her to the ER. Nothing to mess with. I have two other small children at home who could think they're being careful but that's not a risk worth taking.
If there's no suitable replacement, I'm quite confident I can survive without it.0 -
