    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.

    I usually get the Smuckers Natural creamy. http://www.smuckers.com/products/category.aspx?groupId=2&categoryId=11 It's very easy to find in most grocery stores and discount stores like Target.

    As long as you're buying a brand that has only Peanuts or Peanuts and Salt as ingredients, you should be fine.

    I'm a peanut-butter-a-holic and I just started eating this stuff. Not necessarily as natural as peanuts & salt but it's sold at Whole Foods and it tastes like the middle of the Nutter Butter cookies. Oh my gosh, it's amazing! 100 calories per 2 tbsp (1/2 that of regular peanut butter).

    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.

    Where in the world do you get all of these flavors???

    My World Market just started stocking the regular, Dark Chocolate Dreams, and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. I am completely in love with the Dark Chocolate Dreams, but would consider committing a crime to get a jar of White Chocolate Wonderful or Mighty Maple :love:

    I am a big PB fan, and i go with three different ones.

    1. The basic. I get the kind that you make right there at the store. Both King Soopers (Kroger), Sunflower Market, and Whole foods are right by my house and have this option. It's cheaper than a premade PB, and it's got just the one ingredient. I really like it. This is what I use for most stuff.
    2. PB2. The dehydrated stuff. I love this because it's so easy to add to a shake or whatever, to give a PB taste without the mess of real PB. And it's just the one ingredient!
    3. The PB & CO that's already been mentioned here. I LOVE white chocolate wonderful. It is really the best. Dark chocolate dreams is good too. But this is a dessert for me. I don't eat it much, but when I want a treat I break out a TBS or two of this, and it hits the spot. I will have to try the Bee's Knees one.

    All three of them have no/low sodium, which is important to me.

    Peanut butter addict here. I am in LOVE with Smucker's Natural - both creamy and chunky! All peanuts and no added sugar!! YUM!!

    I agree with the Laura Scudder...the best! The Smuckers Natural is the exact same thing and cheaper. Think they are both made by the same company.

    I soooo need to check World Market because I am dying to try the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl ;-) I found Peanut Butter & Co at both Walmart & Super Target. It's funny though, my Walmart only sells the Dark Chocolate Dream and Bee's Knees & Super Target only sells the White Chocolate Wonderful & the Dark Chocolate as well. I have not tried the dark chocolate dreams since I'm not a dark choco-holic...
