How much PB do you eat in a day, and what brand or style do you prefer?

I eat 1-2 tbsp of Maranatha Smooth No Salt Organic Peanut Butter.

With a sprinkle of cinnamon...NUM! Licking some off my spoon as I type with one hand!

  • I love pb and keep forgetting how good it is for me.....congrats on your weight lost!!! So exciting for you!!!
  • I just got into peanut butter actually. I didn't know healthy people ate that since I wasn't allowed to go near the stuff as a kid.

    I'm eating reduced fat Skippy, 180 calories for every 2 tblspns.

    I love Trader Joe's All Natural Crunchy PB, especially on a brown rice cake - 1 tbsp goes a long way

    1 tbsp in my protein shake most days :} and sometimes on wholegrain toast for breakfast.

    I highly recommend every gets natural peanut butter, where the only ingredient is peanuts! So much better for you and still delicious as heck.
  • <---- Peanut Butter Junkie, I eat all kinds but I prefer a local natural Peanut butter from South Africa...so smooth and creamy yet so healthy.

    Here is my list
    - Chunky right out of the jar with a spoon
    - Creamy with my shakes
    - Nutella for body spread

    Did I miss anything?
  • Oh and on a sidenote, try to avoid peanut butter with hydrogenated fat...that is the bad stuff.

    Thank you!!


    I seriously can't get enough of the stuff! I went to safeway tonight to get groceries for my fiance (ugh, and with TOM, the sight of chocolate made me drooly), so I bought some more PB and had my 2nd tbsp of the day tonight with some water.

    All natural is the way to go - I agree! The Maranatha (found at choices and whole foods in Canada) is really great. And PS, yes you should stir the oil that separates back in!
  • Did somebody say peanut butter? All I can say is YUMMMMMMYYYYYY! I don't it peanut butter everyday, but on days when I add it to a receipe or use it on my toast I use 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon.

    The brand I perfer is Skippy Natural Peanut Butter.

    On days I work out, I usually have a TBS of Maranatha Almond Butter (or half regular and half chocolate almond) on each piece of whole grain toast (Cobs Country Grain - amazing stuff)

    Once in a while I put a half spoon of each on a big spoon and top with almonds or walnuts for an extremely yummy crunch treat.

    So if I work out say 5 days per week I probably have some 4-5 of those days. Those are also the days I allow myself a half an avocado as well. Big treats, healthy and satisfying and I earn them.

    Edited to add - about once every week or two I have Kraft 25% reduced calorie smooth PB on the country grain. It's actually less calories than the almond butters (slightly) but not as natural and not organic, so I limit it.

    Hi, my name is Jenna and I am addicted to peanut butter. I eat one Tablespoon a day, divided between 2 brown rice cakes, sprinkled with 5 chocolate chips per cake. Oh, sweet heaven!
  • I didn't realise PB was healthy :D so craving some now
  • Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Peanut Butter.

    I eat this on Oroweat 100% Whole Wheat bread, a tbsp (or 2) of Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Peanut Butter, & a tbsp of Trader Joe's Raw Honey.

    I can eat that all day, everyday!!!
