What Type of Peanut Butter do you eat???

jleshko

I noticed a lot of people on MFP love peanut butter and use it in many of their recipes and eat it right out of the jar... Curious who likes what... I eat Smuckers All Natural creamy peanut butter... The kind with the oil that separates and you have to mix it up... I used to eat Skippy but I was told to go the natural route and I love it... Interesting that the nutritional information is almost exactly the same but the products are so different... So what do you eat???

I love Naturally More peanut butter. It has more protein, less fat, less sugar, and less calories (169 per serving) than other peanut butters. Plus, I love the taste!

Skippy Natural Creamy is what's in the cupboard here. The four ingredients are roasted peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt. Not the best option but I really don't like stirring anything before I indulge as I'm very lazy.

I eat All Natural Peanut Butter Co. White Chocolate Wonderful when I want a treat.

Smuckers natural creamy in the glass jar.

I don't want to eat peanut butter with added sugars, but is there any "pure" peanut butter out there with no added salt?

I use a gluten free peanut butter "Better'n Peanut Butter." I get the low sodium kind. 100 calories and 95 sodium for 2 tablespoons!

no name organic (superstore brand) The only ingredient is peanuts and it's only like 4$ or something for a jar that lasts me months.

I love Naturally More. Yes you have to stir it and keep it in the fridge but for less calories and still a good taste I will stir.

I just found a natural peanut butter that Jiff makes.... no need to stir, and tastes really good! And it is pretty low in sodium as well :-)

PB2!!!!!! Theres only 45 calories for a regular 2 TBS serving, 5g protein, very little sugar, sodium compared to the regular kind. It's actually in powder form (comes in a reglar size pb jar) and you mix 2TBS with 1 TBS water (or till u get the consistency you like) and tah dah....great way to save calories and still get the great taste, and protein of regular pb. Its powder because the way they make it, they take the peanuts and grind them to get out all the oil (fat). It also comes in CHOCOLATE pb flavor whci has similar info

I gave up peanut butter and just eat unsalted peanuts and almonds because I'm trying to keep my sodium down.

the natural peanut butter from jiffy is wonderful. No stiring needed! It tastes great!

I like the naturally moore. I leave it on the counter and let it seperate and then pour off the oil to save the fat and calories:blushing: . When I want to use it, I measure out what I want then throw it in the microwave to soften it so that I can spread it. I need to save my calories where I can. I LOVE peanut butter as much as "normal people" love chocolate!

Where do you find PB2, Ive seen alot of posts on this stuff. Thanks!!

If I eat peanut butter, I use Peanut Butter and Co. No HFCS and only a few ingredients plus the flavors include: Dark Chocolate Drams, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, & White Chocolate Wonderful.

I tried Better N PB in regular and chocolate flavors and I just can't stomach them! I wish I could bc of the lower calories but its just gross to me!

I also like almond butter by Maranatha.

google pb2 and youll see, i think it's the 2nd link down, for their website...bell something? I didn't like the idea of not being able to buy 1 jar, (they make you order in combos) then the shipping costs almost as much as what you're paying for the product....but theres a link that shows where you can find it locally. I clicked on it and found it was in the green planet grocery right down the street from me. It's also in whole foods, nature tyme and probably may other local hralth type stores

i eat the skippy natural too. even though the calories are the same, it has no hydrogenated oil in it so it's got to better for ya.

Where do I find this and is this one that needs to be stirred? I was raised on no stirring, so I kinda wanna keep it that way..lazy I suppose

FitBride080611

Andfor everyone going with skippy natural (or any pb for that matter) check the label!! If you see HYDROGENATED, or partially hydrogenated anything....that's trans fat. The reason theres no value for trans fats on the label is because for 1 serving, theres an insufficient amount of trans fat. But say you have more than one serving, then your amount of trans fats you're eating just started to add up. And for anyone that's un familiar with the basics of fats...heres a crash course

Good fat= mono and poly unsaturated (found primariliy in fatty fish like salmon, herring, olive oils, egg yolk etc
Bad fat= saturated fat (solids so think the visible white fat on meats, butter, creams, animal source fats
The most evil fat in the world= trans fats, found in HYDROGENATED ingredient packed foods such as margerines, bakery items like donuts, pastries, cake mixes, deep fat fried foods

Why good and bad you ask? Good is heart healthy bc it takes the cholesterol away from the arteries and helps increase your HDL cholesterol (good kind)

Bad is because it increases the plaque build up along the insides of arteries (which may lead to heart attack or stroke), increases high blood pressure because if the arteries are constricted bc their diameter just got smaller, the pressure it takes to get the blood around the body at the same rate, has to go up...

TRANS FATS....the make the good cholesterol go down, and increase the bad...so it's a double whammy!

Sorry for the lesson on fats, but if theres anything you read off a products ingredients list, check to be sure theres no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated ANYTHING!

I too like how the only ingredient is peanuts! (I don't like how it separates, but oh well.)
