I am a peanut butter lover but I do not like the amount of sugar and other ingredients added to traditional peanut butters. So I thought I would see what types of all natural peanut butters everyone uses! I would love to hear from everyone!

Thanks!

    I used Kraft All Natural Peanut Butter. In Canada, it comes in a brown labelled container. It took me about a week to get used to the texture (more thick) and flavour (less sugary) but now I'm never switching back!! I absolutely love it. It would be even better if you didn't have to stir the peanut oil in, but I'm willing to do that then eat the processed stuff :)

    Bread + peanut butter is my favourite post-workout snack too. Peanut butter is no doubt in my top 5 favourite foods.

    Krema - it's cheaper in my area than a lot of the other "natural" PBs (some of which have added ingredients :huh: ) and it comes in smooth and crunchy. They have one ingredient: Peanuts!!

    maranatha has a good selection. They have other nut butters if you are interested in branching out.

    Clear Value Natural Peanut Butter - 4 Ingredients - Cheap - Gets the job done :D
  • I use Trader Joe's organic natural unsalted peanut butter. Both creamy and chunky. I have on occasion made my own peanut butter by putting peanuts in the cuisinart and add nothing else, but that is more expensive than the TJ's pb.

    I've been eating the natural pb for a few years now and there is no way I can stand to put my husband's JIF up to my mouth. Try out different brands. Good luck!

    Smuckers natural peanut butter. All it is is peanuts and salt. It isn't as sweet as normal peanut butters, but I only do peanut butter with toast and a banana on top, so the banana takes care of the sugar.

    If you live where there are Trader Joe's their peanut butter is great (ingredients just peanuts or peanuts and salt if you prefer and its way cheaper than supermarket "natural" peanut butters) Maranatha is also really good, but a little more pricey. They used to sell big jars for a good price, but I haven't checked for it since I moved to Trader Joe's territory.
  • Wow, I see there are more peanut butter lovers out there! I am very used to the natural peanut butter texture and taste but just wanted to see what were the most popular! It seems like ALLL OF THEM! I am not a huge fan of skippy natural or jif natural because I find them too sweet. But I usually get Marantha. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE almond butter! Who is tried that?
  • Hey, I live right next to a Trader Joes... I will check them out! Thanks!
  • Smart Balance Omega PB is yummy and the omega is great for dieting...i have to keep it out of my cabinets though because i end up eating right out of the jar...pb is one of my vices...i could shower in it ;-)

    No contest. Peanut Butter & Co. - they have an amazing line of Peanut butters: White Chocolate Wonderful, Dark Chocolate Dreams, Bee's Knees, Mighty Maple, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Careful though, they are so good you will probably end up eating it from the jar.

    TJ's also has good almond butter, both raw and roasted. And sometimes they carry cashew-macadamia butter that is incredible. If you have an Italian specialty store near you try pistachio cream!

    if you are near a whole foods, they actually have a machine where you can grind the peanut butter yourself. Can't get more natural or fresh than that!

    Smuckers all natural. It is not nearly as sweet as say Jif, but it does not have a bunch of junk in it either.

    I've been looking for some recommendations on this too. Thanks for asking the question. So many to choose from. I tried a natural peanut butter before and it was just awful. I've been reluctant to waste money on another bottle again without knowing for sure it will taste good.

    For Aussies:
    Sanitarium is good and cheap

    Otherwise, I go to my local health food store that has the all natural unbranded stuff. As natural as you can get. Soooo good.

    Tried almond butter the other day. Not bad but twice the price as PB and I eat at least a tub a week :tongue:

    I have to agree! And this girlie was the one that got me HOOKED on Peanut Butter & Co ;-) I started with the White Chocolate Wonderful and now I *love* the Bee's Knees ---try it with a Fuji apple --- your taste buds will thank me ;-P

    I tried the Marantha and was NOT impressed....bleh!
