Better than JIF?

edited October 5 in Food and Nutrition
I see alot of people eat healthy nutbutters. i'm a jiffy girl, and finicky as a cat. I love JIF for its smooth smooth texture most importantly, but also the roasted peanut taste. When I tried fresh ground pb I was not a fan. oily, seperated, gritty. I tried soybutter to and almond butter and the flavors were not to my taste.


Are there any picky pb eaters out there who HAVE found a comperable replacement for my sweet, my love, my dearest old friend JIF?

    Yes, Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread and it's some of the best stuff on earth.

    i was unaware planters had one.


    oh and the "why replace it"

    i dont have to i guess. i just wanted to see if i could find a healthier one. the whole "eat cleaner" and "non processed' thing is spreading. I thought might be a good idea to try. but if it wont make a huge difference in health factors then i prob wont. i loves mah jifs.

    Skippy Natural is pretty good. I've ate Skippy all my life and never tried JIF, so I don't know what it tastes like.

    So, I finally got the picture to post...I see that the fat grams are higher in the Jif, but the Carbs and Sugars are higher in the Nutella... plus Jif gives more protein...

    Sorry, but no replacement; 100% nut butter will always taste like ground up nuts with nothing else because that's what it is.

    We have a local company that makes really smooth almond butter spiked with cinnamon. Truly the crack cocaine of the nut butter world.

    Next time you are in the Canadian Maritimes, i'll hook you up!

    thanks for the post! so my jif is fine in comparison to nutella for me. (i'm a protein person) but for those who suggested jif natural...i'll have to try. i guess i never saw it due to b lining to the jif. thanks for the suggestions all!

    I eat Simply Jiff.. The ingredients are peanuts, palm oil, sugar and salt.. can't get any less processed than that.

    With 21 grams of sugar per serving, I am sure it tastes good. Personally, I have never tried it.

    Nutella tastes like garbonnz IMO.

    I'm all about the smart balance PB.

    I love hazelnut butter, but as for it being any heathier than any other nut butter I really don't know. JIF creamy is my favorite too. I am a peanut butter addict <3
