Alrighty... so I am trying to "clean up" my diet and make healthier choices.
I LOVE having peanut butter on hand, even though it's not yet a staple.
The problem, I am used to good ol traditional Jif.... all those weird little extra ingredients tossed in....
So, today I picked up 100% Natural Organic Peanut Butter.... ingredient... Peanuts
So, I get home.... crack that bad boy open and am oozed by the oil... then try to stir the oil in the PB jar... that's not gonna happen.... scrapped ALL the PB out into a bowl with the oil.... stirred and poured BACK into the jar.... licked the knife.... :sick:
There's gotta be a easier and yummier way!
I need the PB to up my protein!
Suggestions.... product info.... something...
HELP!

You could always make your own.
I haven't tried it, but, I read somewhere that you put nuts (any kind actually) into a food processor, and process until it's the consistency that you want.
I've heard that this is also really good with almonds and cashews. I don't have a food processor, or I would have already made it by now :laugh:
Good luck!0 -
Hi!
I've always eaten the natural sugar-free peanut butter (with the only ingredient being peanuts) and I just pour off the layer of oil on the top. Then I stir it up a bit. Don't worry, you don't have to do this every time. Once you get the majority of oil out, the peanut butter doesn't settle again to the point of being oily again.

Try Skippy Natural. It has peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt. Absolutely no hydrogenated oils, and it isn't all oily nor does it require refridgeration. It's pretty close in consistency to your old Jif. My whole family loves it, and I think it really has a more "peanut-y" taste than regular peanut butter. It's not as "pure" as some of the organic peanut butters, but I really just can't stand the texture of any of those... way too goopy and oily for me.0

+1 Skippy Natural. I can't stand regular peanut butter after eating skippy natural. Need to stir it just a little when first opened. Tastes great.0

Also, there are some grocery stores where you can get nuts from the bulk section and actually grind them in the store to make your own. I've done this with almonds at Whole Foods.

I wubs me some Smuckers Organic PB.
Of course, I also hate mixing it up. But this is the price to pay for yummy peanutiness!

put the jar in your cupboard for a while, then the oil goes to the bottom of the jar and it is easier to stir. I have tried pouring the oil off and find it too dry and thick.0

put the jar in the cupboard-- UPSIDEDOWN!0

natural skippy is really really good! I know its not as good for you as the organic stuff. but i when i eat peanut butter it is usually because i am in a hurry... and don't have time to make my usual lunch... so that means i don't have time to stir the stuff. but natural skippy tastes delicious and no stirring!!0

I like Natural Skippy. I try to limit my serving to one tablespoon since the fat content is so high...Those PB that seperate just do not taste as good to me.0
-
You can pour the oil out or try other brands. Natural skippy is good a lot of health food stores have an area where you can grind up peanuts and only buy the amount of peanut butter you need for say a week or so.
If you drain the oil the fat content will go down and you can enjoy a little more PB.0 -
I love peanut butter more than anything.
Recently I started eating soynuts with sea salt.
1 ounce is a perfect snack and it helps my cravings.
The great thing is soynuts will give you a blast of 11grams
of pure protein and no stirring needed. I have a 16 ounce of water
with them with a twist of lemon to jazz it up. Helps alot for me
hope you do too!
Calories in 1 ounce soynuts is 130g

I use Skippy Natural for my kids. But I have personally fallenin love with any peanut butter from Peanut Butter Company and PB Loco. These PB's have no hydrogenated oils, are gluten-free, and use no refined sugar. they use all natural ingredients, too and come in a great variety of flavors. (I love pb and have to eat once a day, hehe!)0

you can leave the jar upside down and the oil will get mixed in. You can also spill the oil out and get your own natural version of low fat peanut butter. The remaining peanut butter will be drier and not very spreadable, but I like it.0

Naturally More Peanut Butter. Less fat, more protein than regular PB. You do have to stir it, I store it upside down, then flip and stir after opening. :bigsmile:0

Thanks everyone, I did eye the Skippy Natural... should of gotten that it.
I am going to look at the PB & Co and PB Loco though too.0 -
I love peanut butter and have tried several different natural brands. My favorite is Maranantha, you'll probably have to get it at a health food store though. It is no stir and only has 4 ingredients, palm oil, peanuts, sea salt and evaporated cane juice. Seriously good stuff!!0
-
the oil will reseparate in lots of natural peanut butters. After stirring the first time, I keep mine in the fridge. I nuke the jar for 10 seconds to soften when I want to use it. I don't use p-nut butter often, so keeing it in the fridge helps to keep it longer w/out going rancid.0

Ok, I should check my spelling before I post stuff LOL, it's spelled MaraNatha. It doesn't sperate.0 -
Skippy Natural fan here too. I just can't go back to regular pb anymore.0

SKIPPY NATURAL!!! I've been eating it for almost 3 years, and I can't taste a difference between that and regular peanut butter, especially if I'm putting the peanut butter on something else.0

Brile, thanks for posting this question! I need to be eating better PB. Sounds like Skippy Natural it is!0

I'm a Naturally More PB eater.0
