    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.

    Hey, I live right next to a Trader Joes... I will check them out! Thanks!

    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!

    I like the Teddie natural peanut butter. Its got a bit of grit, but I love the taste. Skippy natural is also really good, especially if you like a very smooth, traditional peanut butter.

    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.

    That is what we use also...I have a problem with the texture difference though :( Other than that it is pretty good. I like that it really tastes like peanuts unlike other peanut butters.

    I really like PB2, it is powdered peanut butter and comes in regular and chocolate. Both are 45 calories for 2 tablespoons. And both need mixed with water. Three ingredients: roasted peanuts, salt, sugar. Full nutrition info here: http://bellplantation.com/nutrition

    I find this thread very interesting. Apparently my definition of "all natural peanut butter" varies quite considerably from the norm. For me, "all natural peanut butter" is peanut butter that is made with one thing: peanuts. While some of the fancier/popular PB's (like PB & CO and even Skippy) use the "natural" label - I don't consider them natural since they have added oils, salt, sugars, etc. ::Shrugs:: to each his own. I've just found that after going to *truly* natural PB, I have no desire to go back. I just want to encourage people to challenge the "natural" label on foods - which is unregulated in the US. Just because something says it is natural, doesn't mean that it really is. Companies will call something natural, even if the processing used has virtually rendered it completely unnatural (like white/refined sugar).

    Maranatha peanut butter: dry roasted peanuts, organic palm oil, organic evaporated cane juice, sea salt.

    Total Carb. 8g 3%

    Dietary Fiber 2g 9%

    Sugars 3g

    These are all natural . She was looking for something low in sugar. Not no sugar. I can stand nut butter w/ no sugar. Though I know people who enjoy them.

    I use Skippy or Jiffy All natural. I do prefer the "real" natural peanutbutters at health food stores but storing them in the fridge and dealing with the extreme oil seperation annoys me. Although, I heard that if you put the peanut butter jar upside down in the fridge it helps with the oil.

    Trader Joe's has some great and inexpensive (under $2) PB. No added sugar. Only ingredient is peanuts...well salt too if you get the salted variety.

    We find if you keep it at room temp until opened, thoroughly mix at first use and then refrigerate, it doesn't separate. Storing it upside down until the first use is helpful.

    I love TJs almond butters! They have a crunchy version and it's awesome! I buy almond butter when I can find it for a good price otherwise I use Smuckers Natural. I have having to stir but I also don't like the added sugars and oils. I actually made my own almond butter a couple of months ago in my food processor. That's probably the cheapest way to do it but I have a hard time finding almonds in large quantities.
