    I've switched to Natural peanut butter. It has less fat & less calories but it's still in moderation. I'll add it sometimes to smoothies but just a tsp. PB is so good but it needs to still be in moderation.

    Are you talking about the one that looks like it has an inch of oil on the top?

    All Natural low sodium Peanut Butter by JIF. Tastes the same as any other peanut butter I've ever had. Really delicious :)

    I use all natural peanut butter (from Smuckers). Only ingredients are peanuts and less than 1% salt. It's very healthy. Yes, peanut butter is high in fat (and therefore calories), but it's healthy fat. There's absolutely nothing wrong with eating peanut butter in moderation. I eat it at least once a day!

    I totally agree. I use the Smuckers PB on a rice cake when I needs something I consider a "treat". I use PB2 in my protein and meal replacement shakes. All the protein and flavor of regular PB but WAY less fat/calories.

    peanut butter is good for smearing all over the body.

    This wouldn't work for me. My dog licks peanut butter off my fingers, I can't even imagine getting tackled by him and getting slobbered on.

    And I just love the cheapest peanut butter at the store, that has the oil separation.

    Alright I seen the oil seperated ones why do they do that? is it more healthy???

    The all natural peanut butters from Jif, Skippy, etc taste great and have no hydrogenated oils or HFCS. Peanut butter is good for you!!! In moderation!

    Just eat natural peanut butter...nothing but peanuts...maybe some salt if you like that. Keep in mind that peanut butter has a lot of fat...good heart healthy fat, but fat none-the-less. This makes for a very calorie dense treat, so you just have to be careful in RE to calories. I eat peanut butter pretty much daily.

    I go with natural Jif or all natural Almond butter. When I can afford it...I get Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter)...it's pretty much the best thing I've ever tasted lol Sorry...I got a little off topic..

    I use PB2 in shakes and yogurt...as an additive to things for flavor...but using it as peanut butter usually leaves me disappointed. I'd rather walk for 30 mins to earn myself a serving of good PB to put on my toast than bother with that stuff... the taste is similar..sort of...but the real stuff is the best.

    PB is high in calories and fat but it's not all bad...eat in moderation and enjoy!

    I toss a little PB2 in my smoothies. PB2 is powdered peanut butter with much of the fat removed.

    Generally speaking....oil on top means less/no processing to the product....so this is a good thing...just got a stir it back in.

    I love peanut butter way too much to stop eating it BUT I always measure it when I eat it. I can pretty accurately eyeball a lot of foods but PB is NOT one of them :-) I use natural PB (just peanuts with a touch of salt-nothing else)-Kroger brand is actually one of my faves-and have come to enjoy its roasted flavor far more than that of the Jif/Skippy/etc I ate a few years ago.

    Or, if you are like me, and like thicker peanut butter, you can always pour it off.

    And for those that are worried about fat, it will decrease the fat a bit (probably not a whole lot, though).

    I make my own.. research what's allowed to be in peanut butter and you may never eat it again.

    I blend raw peanuts (unsalted) and add in a tiny bit of oil or water if it needs it. I make smaller batches at a time so it doesn't go bad. I prefer homemade peanut butter and will never consume commerically made peanut butter again.

    I have also made my own form of PB2. I grind peanuts really small and mix in a bit of cocoa powder. I just add a bit of water when I want some peanut butter.
