I'm a peanut butter junkie.

Today I am going grocery shopping, with plans to get less processed foods and more natural/healthy food (being a carb junkie too, this is going to be a process for me).

What kind of peanut butter do you get?

    I'm allergic to peanuts, but I get the safe-for-school "wowbutter" made of soy. It's got all this omega-3 stuff in it, supposed to be really good for you. Only problem? a tad bit more expensive than your average peanut butter.

    I get an all natural organic peanut butter. Just read the labels. Some will say they are "natural" and still have tons of extra BS that you don't need. Also, I didn't realize at first that you are supposed to refrigerate natural peanut butter...whoops :). Another favorite of mine is the organic Almond Butter! YUM!

    Just got done with apple slices and Skippy Super Chunk PB. I'll admit I like it better than the natural kiind just because the oil doesn't seperate out and it has a bit more sugar. You may need to try a few brands before you decide which you like the best

    I stole enginman's oatmeal idea and have been loving that. Also put it in my protein shake with a banana. I could eat PB at every meal. Easily.

    I could absolutely LIVE on PB! If it didn't have so cotton pickin many calories, that is! Jiffy Creamy is the only way to go! So I have my PB sandwiches with apple butter so I don't feel quite as guilty! Yes, PB is one of my guilty pleasures! :bigsmile:

    I tried the fancy organic stuff, but it was hard as a rock on the bottom, and no amount of stirring was going to change that. I switched to skippy natural. The ingredients are: peanuts, sugar, salt, and palm oil. I'm ok with that, and you don't have to stir it.

    Freeze it in daily allowances. I am a peanut butter junkie too, a 350gm jar will last a week if I am strong. To counter the weak will what I have decided to do, and have done for the first time is take a 350gm jar of lite smooth Eta Peanut butter, when at home teaspoon it out on to grease proof paper or baking paper spoonful by 10 gm aprox spoonful freeze it on a tray. This morning I took out my first allownece and will have it as a dressing for fried tofu and salad greens with half a sweet potato done in the microwave and cubed.

    Smuckers natural :) LOVE pb. I also use PB2 which is a powdered peanut butter very low cal but I only use that to mix with a banana or ice cream. Also great in smoothies!

    I buy Skippy Natural...peanut butter seems to be the only thing I can eat for breakfast that keeps me from feeling famished half way through the morning.

    I am a PB addict! I can't buy the jars or else I will eat the whole thing! I stick with the JIF To Go cups, or order PB2 online. :)

    When I buy peanut butter, I get natural or "old fashioned" peanut butter, the kind with the oil at the top, and pour the oil off the top (to reduce the fat content). All that should be in this type of peanut butter is peanuts and maybe salt. I used to buy multiple jars and let them sit for a few months so there was more/better separation of the oil. I recently got a food processor, so I will be making my own peanut butter from raw rather than roasted peanuts.

    I love peanut butter. I like to buy it when it's on sale or a reasonable price. I can eat peanut butter by itself.
