I have only ever eat Peter Pan Peanut Butter...I know it's probably one of the worst for me, any suggestions for a "good for you but still tastes good peanut butter?"

    I use Maranatha organic no stir peanut butter, and when I have PB I try to only have 1 tbsp. PB is of course high in calories, but choosing an organic kind is much better. It does cost almost $5 for a 16oz jar, but that will last me a while.

    Also, I started to buy JIF Natural for my boys (I make PB & Jelly pretty much every day for my husband and 3 teenage boys for lunch) because it doesn't have any hydrogenated oil in it. And that is only $3.19 for a 28oz jar.

    Just try to stay away from the partially hydrogenated oil.

    By looking through the database, It looks like Jiffy and Skippy are about the same. Peter Pan is the worst. I thought Almond butter might be better but it is about the same as skippy.jiffy.
    I am a P/B fan also

    Also - the healthiest natural peanut butter will have no "tropical oils" but be only peanuts and maybe salt in the ingredients.

    I eat Peanut Butter & Co. It's no-stir/fridge and it's all natural. It does have palm fruit oil in it, but from what I have researched that oil isn't bad. I get the "Crunch Time" and also the "Dark Chocolate Dreams." :love:

    I also have some Smuckers Organic in the fridge. It's not quite my cup of tea. The only ingredients are peanuts and salt, and I use it for baking. You have to stir it a lot and keep it cold. I just tastes like ground up peanuts, so if that's what you're looking for this is a good choice!

    here's a tip for pb you have to stir and store in the fridge - store it upside down and the oil will be absorbed into the rest of the peanut butter and you don't have to stir!!!

    I recently bough organic peanut butter, and I love it! My mom kept telling me it tastes different, but I bought crunchy kind, and I love having a tbsp of it with an apple. Really good. I think adapting new things just takes time to get used to. :happy:

    jiff with honey is my fav at the moment. I'm one who can only eat 1/2 a serving though.
