Since joining this site just under 2 weeks ago I have saw "peanut butter" mentioned so many times I cant count lol..... I Love it but assumed it was bad for me with the saturated fat in it, I normally buy sun pat peanut butter.
Question ... What is the best type to buy, is there a "good" make or are they all much the same?

Any nut butter with the ingredients only being nuts is the best. I love almond butter.0

Yeah i eat a lot of almond butter, and try to keep it as natural as possible. But if i run out and all we have left in the house is store brand peanut butter, i will happily eat that as well.0

I LOVE PB2!! I recently ordered it from Amazon and will be making my second order soon. It is only 45 calories/2 tbsp. It is worth the money. You can research the company, Bell Plantation, online. I am so glad I tried this since even low cal. pnut butter has a lot of calories.0

My nutritionist actually told me that it was very healthy to have one serving of peanuts or nuts a day. I eat more peanut butter than I ever have in my whole life, and I am losing weight and feeling very healthy. I bought the grocery store brand (Compliments) for economical reasons only to find that I much prefer the taste of it anyway. Right now I have Compliments regular smooth peanut butter in my cupboard, as well as Compliments smooth, natural and organic peanut butter in my fridge. Both are delicious!0

They don`t sell that around here yet, but I might give it try once they do. I am curious though--how do they make peanuts so low in calories? Do they add something to it?
Edit: or I could just look up Bell Plantation. LOL I should really read the ENTIRE post before I respond....0 -

The wife and I use PB2.. Good stuff0

I eat almond butter or PB2!!!!0

I love Krema brand peanut butter. The only ingredient is peanuts, not even any salt added.0

PB2 is powdered. You can use it in shakes or in recipes where you want the peanut butter taste. I have a container here to try, but haven't tried it yet. You are supposed to mix it with water to make it spreadable, but I heard it doesn't taste that great when you do that.0

I like Justin's.0

so for those that have eaten both pb2 and regular peanut butter, is the texture AND taste REALLY the same one pb2 is prepared?0

I buy trader joes peanut butter. There is 1 ingredient, Roasted peanuts.0
-
Jiff or PB2. If I have a jones for real peanut butter, I eat it. If I'm just looking for a peanut butter flavor I'll use PB2 but it doesn't satisfy the peanut butter monkey that lives on my back! lol0

I use Smucker's natural creamy or crunchy....no trans fats....love it.0

I like "Just Good Stuff" powdered peanut butter. 20 calories a tablespoon. Ingredients: peanuts, coconut sugar and salt. Organic and natural.
I haven't tried it on bread, but it is great on crackers and the powder is amazing mixed into yogurt. I think it is great! Tastes very natural. You can adjust the thickness by how much water you put in.0 -
peanut butter is only bad for you if you have trouble digesting legumes. Saturated fat is good for you.
That said, I adore Peanut Butter & Co's stuff.
