    I eat way too much of it because it is my favorite food on the planet. Just log it. But it's delicious!

    I have 100% crunchy peanut butter in my porridge for breakfast...om and nom.

    I used to dislike it...but now I think the brand I get is all of the awesome. I cannot stand the sweetened *kiddY* peanut butters..oh no.

    We made the switch to natural peanutbutter where the ingredients are peanuts and salt. It was met with resistance at first but now the kids are used to it. Especially sinse it does not need to be refridgerated anymore. Great soiuce of protein.

    Peanut butter is awesome, high in protein, very yummy, but do get in more than just one tbsp for breakfast, maybe just try to keep some whole wheat english muffins on hand to help you get in a few more , but it's a wonderful food!

    Might I add, that it's a daily snack for me so I can get in my calories and my protein, try it with some fruit, or pretzel sticks, you can make homemade granola with some pb, oats, and raw honey (the real stuff not the stuff they sell at wal-mart), even mix it into a smoothie or your oatmeal tons of possibilities!

    I wish it came in reversible jars. That way I could turn the 8 empty jars next to me inside out, consume every last gram, and not feel like I'm wasting half a teaspoon of peanut butter every time I wash a jar.

    It's probably one of my favorite foods. I put it on all sorts of stuff or straight out of the jar. Smucker's natural chunky is my favorite. Stir it up really well and then keep it in the refrigerator upside down. Doesn't have to be stirred again after that.

    Whenever I'm a little low on calories and I need a little extra energy, I love a bite of peanut butter!

    I still don't know why nobody but me has mentioned PB2. It's 85% LESS calories & still peanut butter with NOTHING added. No salt, no preservatives & no extra fat.


    Wow. I can eat heaps of PB2 & not worry compared to one serve on regular stuff.

    I've only started to like Peanut Butter within the last year. Strange? Maybe. But I REALLY like it now!
    I guess its true what they say about taste buds changing. Now, my cupboard is NEVER without a jar. Nom nom nom!

    Super food. Especially for athletes. High in plant based protein, low in saturated fat. Good calorie dense food.

    I love it, my dog loves it. whats not to love? I mean he will literally lick if off of anything I put it on, and so will I.
    I prefer the kind with oil separation, I'm addicted to the stuff.

    ^^^This!
    As soon as I get out the peanut butter jar & before I unscrew the cover my dog is right there waiting for some. She would lick it right out of the jar if I let her. So would I. We both love the extra chunky kind. I don't have it too often because it's too addictive. One tablespoon is not enough & a hundred is too many!

    I recently learned about PB2 and it's fantastic. Still has great PB taste with a lot fewer calories. So versatile too, aside from adding water to it to make "regular PB", I also use it in it's powder form in my dessert smoothies.

    Can't recommend it enough.

    Yay, but not by itself (except when I was a kid). Now, I only like my peanut butter in candy (and, I haven't had that since my diet). But, I love the heck out of PBJ sandwiches. Mmmm. I only use the Jif Whips now. They have less fat than the reduced fat PB and I can't taste the difference bc I don't eat PB that often. But, when I do, I eat it for about a wk.
    It is YAY for me, especially those extra crunchy ones. ^__^
    Ugh. I hate the crunchy PB. I always think about it hurting my gums. Brings up childhood memories whenever I see it in the store. LOL

    Someone on my TL mentioned powdered PB once, but I never got the name. Thanks for mentioning it. I will try it today.

    My thoughts on peanut butter...I could not live without it, extra creamy PB is my fav and I would literally give up my wine in favour of my PB. Now that's saying something as I LOVE my wine lol :-)
    Seriously though, it is a great healthy protein.

    I love PB.

    There are some people out there, I hear, who don't like it.

    I absolutely LOVE Peanut Butter, especially the extra chunky!!! When I eat it with apple slices it's the right kind of protein and carbs that fill me up for a few hours. I count it in my calories everyday!!!! Let's hope theres a peanut butter factory in heaven.:smile:

    Another vote for PB2 here! Less fat and reconstitutes with a little water for sandwiches!
