Are there any good sugar free peanut butters out there?

Thank you! Looking for some more low-carb snack options.

    Any "natural" peanut butter is going to be sugar-free. Look for one that has the following ingredients : "peanuts". Smuckers makes a pretty good one that's widely available.

    I take mine (the oil in natural peanut butter is separated in the jar) and dump it into a mixing bowl and beat it with an electric mixer. Then, I put it back in the jar. This takes a few minutes, but the oil seems to stay incorporated, and it's more like "regular" peanut butter.

    Sometimes, for fanciness, I add a tablespoon of vanilla extract and some honey. (obviously, this kills the "low carb" factor).

    The Skippy Natural is the bomb...no sugar and no mixing either. Tastes great!

    I have tried both the Skippy Natural and the Smuckers. I like the Skippy better. Simply Jif has the same amount of sugar as the Skippy Natural and since I grew up eating Jif peanut butter, I like the taste better.

    Natural Peanut butter and the ingredients will look like this.....................peanuts, salt.

    May I also suggest that you try other nut butters too...........lower carb and taste better and in the end are better for you than peanut butter.

    Almond butter
    Macadamia Nut Butter (my favorite)
    Sun Butter (sun flower seeds)

    The Skippy natural is not so healthy, they add sugar to it, which takes away from the "natural"

    Oo, I didn't know there was macadamia butter. As of yet I've been to chicken to stray from peanut butter, but I'd definitely try macamadia butter.

    Not sure where you live and if you have the same stores... but, some grocery or health food stores (Safeway, Nob Hill, Whole Foods) have machines where you can grind your own fresh nut butters! Sooooo good!!! And you don't have the oil seperation that you get from the pre-jarred brands! Some offer the different variety of nuts. But, you can usually always find peanuts and almonds. Always select the "no salt" option!

    Edit:
    I love to stir in a tablespoon of almond butter into my vanilla yogurt or spread it on half of a banana! MMM!
