How much PB do you eat in a day, and what brand or style do you prefer?

I eat 1-2 tbsp of Maranatha Smooth No Salt Organic Peanut Butter.

With a sprinkle of cinnamon...NUM! Licking some off my spoon as I type with one hand!

    I just got into peanut butter actually. I didn't know healthy people ate that since I wasn't allowed to go near the stuff as a kid.

    I'm eating reduced fat Skippy, 180 calories for every 2 tblspns.

    I love Trader Joe's All Natural Crunchy PB, especially on a brown rice cake - 1 tbsp goes a long way

    1 tbsp in my protein shake most days :} and sometimes on wholegrain toast for breakfast.

    I highly recommend every gets natural peanut butter, where the only ingredient is peanuts! So much better for you and still delicious as heck.

    <---- Peanut Butter Junkie, I eat all kinds but I prefer a local natural Peanut butter from South Africa...so smooth and creamy yet so healthy.

    Here is my list
    - Chunky right out of the jar with a spoon
    - Creamy with my shakes
    - Nutella for body spread

    Did I miss anything?

    Oh and on a sidenote, try to avoid peanut butter with hydrogenated fat...that is the bad stuff.

    Thank you!!


    I seriously can't get enough of the stuff! I went to safeway tonight to get groceries for my fiance (ugh, and with TOM, the sight of chocolate made me drooly), so I bought some more PB and had my 2nd tbsp of the day tonight with some water.

    All natural is the way to go - I agree! The Maranatha (found at choices and whole foods in Canada) is really great. And PS, yes you should stir the oil that separates back in!

    Did somebody say peanut butter? All I can say is YUMMMMMMYYYYYY! I don't it peanut butter everyday, but on days when I add it to a receipe or use it on my toast I use 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon.

    The brand I perfer is Skippy Natural Peanut Butter.

    On days I work out, I usually have a TBS of Maranatha Almond Butter (or half regular and half chocolate almond) on each piece of whole grain toast (Cobs Country Grain - amazing stuff)

    Once in a while I put a half spoon of each on a big spoon and top with almonds or walnuts for an extremely yummy crunch treat.

    So if I work out say 5 days per week I probably have some 4-5 of those days. Those are also the days I allow myself a half an avocado as well. Big treats, healthy and satisfying and I earn them.

    Edited to add - about once every week or two I have Kraft 25% reduced calorie smooth PB on the country grain. It's actually less calories than the almond butters (slightly) but not as natural and not organic, so I limit it.
