what peanut butter is best?

I like Kirkland Organic all natural from Costco.

If you are looking for healthy, Skippy makes an all natural version with no additives (pretty much just peanuts and salt). Its doesn't taste that much different (not as creamy), but you do have to use it sooner since it has no preservatives.

Naturally More Peanut butter http://www.peanutsnack.com Made with flaxseed oil, and has less fat than regular PB (11g for 2 T.). You have to stir it, but it is awesome! I buy it at Super Wal*mart. I buy the Meijer Organic natural crunchy PB for my family. Most commercial PB has trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils). That is what keeps it from separating.

I have the Biggest Loser cookbook and all the recipes w/ PB call for Reduced Fat. I like the Skippy Reduced Fat, it's not that much lower on Calories, but like 25% less fat and really yummy.

If I can't grind my own at the store, Adam's 100% Natural is what I usually get. It doesn't have any sugar ... in fact, the only ingredient is peanuts. You do have to stir it after you open it, but once you get used to, the other stuff tastes like candy.

I love the Skippy Natural. It tastes like fresh peanuts!! YUM!

I buy Trader Joe's organic, unsalted PB. The only ingredient is peanuts.

I keep the jar upside down in the fridge, so when I go to open it - no messy oil to deal with. You want to keep some of the oil otherwise it gets too dry.

My kids love unsalted PB - they think the commerical kind is too sweet and salty, :laugh:

smark kids you have there!

I pour half the oil out before the first stir go round....and the rate I go thru it...BAM...time for anew jar!

I love Trader Joe's

I love the Skippy Natural. It tastes like fresh peanuts!! YUM!

Skippy natural peanut butter is not so natural................It is too processed for me..............

Skippy Natural Peanut Butter has a slightly misleading product name; however, Skippy Natural is hands-down the best "natural" peanut butter I have tasted. Here are the pros and cons of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter.

Cons. Since I think that the pros outweigh the cons of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter I will start with the cons.

§ Misleading Name: The biggest con of Skippy Natural is that the product name is a bit misleading. While Skippy Natural is indeed more natural than many peanut butters on the market, it is not what consumers have come to know as natural peanut butter. A natural peanut butter has only one ingredient: peanuts. Skippy Natural Peanut Butter actually has four ingredients: peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt. While the ingredients in Skippy Natural Peanut Butter are just that, natural, they are still a bit misleading to consumers.

§ Sugar Content. Most natural peanut butters have no added sugar so a two tablespoon service has just one gram of sugar in it. Skippy Natural Peanut Butter does have some added sugar so you actually get 3 grams of sugar per serving. While this is still not a huge amount of sugar, it is comparable to regular non-natural peanut butter brands.

Pros. As I said before, the pros of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter outweigh the cons by a long shot which is I why I really believe it is the best natural peanut butter you can buy.

§ Taste. The taste of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter is wonderful. It has the delicious roasted peanut flavor of natural peanut butters, but still the slightly sweet flavor of classic peanut butter.

§ Texture. Skippy Natural Peanut Butter is smooth and creamy in texture. Unlike many natural peanut butters, there is no need to stir Skippy Natural Peanut Butter to recombine the oils before spreading.

§ Shelf Stability. Skippy Natural Peanut Butter can be kept on the shelf like classic peanut butter whereas many natural peanut butter brands must be kept in the refrigerator. Refrigeration makes the peanut butter more difficult to spread and it is not as tasty when cold.

Kind of on the same line, has anyone tried this peanut butter mix stuff that you mix with water? I heard about it somewhere and am skeptical to try it. I love peanut butter on toast but it just has so much fat and calories.

Peanut butter fat is a good fat............

You don't want to cut good fats from your menus..................

For those of you that like peanut butter...........

You should try other nut butters such as cashew or almond butter.............Y-U-M-M-Y!!!!!

And Macadamia nut butter is TO DIE FOR GOOD!!!!

I found Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter....

its DIVINE. and the nutritional info on it makes me feel better about eating it.
I forgot the brand though....next time I go to the kitchen for a spoonfull (probably soon) i'll check it.

I was watching Good Morning America and they were talking about how you should just get the normal natural peanut butter and not the low fat kind because when the take out the fat the just replace it with extra carbs or chemicals or something like that.....ugh....I can't remember now....

But that's why I get the natural one now instead of the low fat one. :happy:

Macadamia nut butter???

I didn't even know such a thing existed!!

I can't wait to find some and try it..

Do you have a Trader Joe's any where near you? That is where I have bought it..........

I had Peabutter for the first time today. I really enjoyed it. I think it tastes better than the soy-nut butter we've been using.
We can't have pb in the house due to allergy so I've been trying different things. I have been trying to find a peanut free tree-nut butter but they aren't available in Canada (yet). :flowerforyou:
