I almost never use butter or margarine. For clean eating I'd probably just go with the real butter. I buy Land O'Lakes or Smart Balance but I probably only use it every couple months or so and only a very small amount...

I just use real butter. I like Kerrygold brand.

Your grandmother was right: once I beat whipping cream too much with a hand mixer. I got butter and buttermilk. It tasted very good. I don't remember how much time it took.

I like avocado as a spread, especially on sandwiches.

When I worked at Starbucks as a teen, I used to shake heavy cream in the bottle we used for the caramel sauce (cleaned of course) to make "butter" for pumpkin loaf on my breaks. took forever, but tasted great

Is real butter not considered clean? (serious question...)

There are varying definitions of "clean". Some would consider it clean if there are no man-made additives and it's just churned milk. Others would not because it's not in the form in which it's found in nature.

I rarely use anything other then evoo, but canola oil or Benecol spread would be the two I used next most often. But if you are looking for 'clean' substitutions that won't help.
