Anyone know of a good/healthy peanut butter. I have been into PB/banana on toast after my long runs. I've been eating the Simply Jif, but I am sure there is better stuff on the market. Any recommendations?

    Actually, Almond butter is a great alternative.

    any of the 'natural' ones or no added sugar/salt so basically it's all peanuts. i'm pretty sure jif sells natural PB...

    If you live near a Trader Joe's, their natural peanut butter is super yummy...

    I also like Jif with Honey, and most of the Peanut Butter & Co. flavors (they have several). I'm sure that the unsweetened are in some way better for you, but they all seem to have the around the same amount of calories (160-190 per 2tbsp), and I personally like my peanut butter sweeter.

    The PB2 is good because it's only 45 calories per 2tbsp, but I go for quantity. I have also tried something called Better n' Peanut Butter (Trader Joe's and some grocery stores sell it in the organic section). It's only 100cal per 2tbsp.

    I just bought this one, but I think the Skippy all natural taste better in my opinion.

    Skippy Natural

    Ultimately what your looking for is any peanut butter that doesn't have the healthy peanut oil replaced with a less healthy oil. You can tell by looking at the ingrediants list. If it has any kind of oil listed avoid it.

    Meijer has an organic peanut butter that is lower in sugar, fat and calories than the name brands, if you have Meijer stores where you are. We also just bought a sunflower nut butter to try, but haven't tasted it yet.

    Depends where you live and what is available. Just spend a few mins comparing labels and pick one wth lots of peanuts and not much else.
    I'm enjoying Ceres organic PB which is from New Zealand (though I'm in Australia).

    If you got a WinCo store near you, they have a PB machine. You can grind your own peanut nutter right there in a few seconds' time. It's only got peanut butter in it. Tasty--just keep in mind that there's no added oil, so it can become thick. Doesn't last as long.

    almond butter is a yummy alternative which is higher in monounsaturated fats....also, have you ever tried sunbutter? (sunflower seed butter) It is sooo good and has half of the saturated fats than pb. Just thought I would throw out a few other options :)

    Skippy has a new natural peanut butter with honey.. and it comes in crunchy.. yumm.. I also like PB2 but usually just use that if I want peanut butter flavoring in something without the cals... It isn't close enough to real PB for me... and I didnt personally care for the better n peanut butter.. it also just had a weird taste to it... I stick to the real stuff without all the additives..... anything by PB and Co is amazing though... yummmmmm (just high in sugar :( )

    Look at the ingredient list. You want one that contains ONLY peanuts and salt. I use Smucker's Natural.

    I love naturally more peanut butter with flax seeds. It is all natural with an addition of omega 3.
