    OBSESSED with peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

    Right now I'm on a smuckers natural kick. You do have to keep it in the fridge but I learned a trick.. stir it the first time and then keep in your fridge upside down to prevent all the oil from rising to the top!

    If you have a whole foods near you, you can grind your own fresh almond, cashew or peanut butter. So good

    One of my friends turned me on to something that SOUNDS weird, but is acutally really natural and tastes great, it's still peanut butter, it's just....dehydrated peanut butter. It's called PB2, and it's sold online or in some stores, you can find all of the information on their website: http://www.bellplantation.com/

    This stuff is amazing, it's powder form so you just measure out two tablespoons of the peanut butter powder, and if you want spreadable peanut butter you add 1 tsp of water and mix....then you can make a sandwich or spread it on apples or crackers, whatever you want. OR you can mix it into recipes directly in powder form.

    The best thing is that it's totally natural and the calories are crazy good....45 for two tablespoons!!! Considering what normal peanut butter is (200ish), it's pretty amazing. I will admit, it doesnt BEAT regular peanut butter, but it's pretty close and a lifesaver if you're a peanut butter junkie like my friend. I hope you guys will look it up, it's worth a look at least. :D

    I eat peanut butter almost daily. I used to buy the natural stuff because it's a healthier choice but I am a Skippy groupie and I buy that now because it's what I like (I buy the massive jars at Costco too!). I believe in eating what I like in moderation. When I eat pb I eat it this way (usually): 2 lightly salted rice cakes, 1 teaspoon of pb spread on each one, 10 mini chocolate chips on each rice cake (equal to 1 teaspoon of choc chips). Cals. 129!

    :blushing: Confession Time: I LOVE my Peanut Butter M & M Sandwich almost every night!!
    At least I'm using Wheat Bread and Dark Chocolate M & Ms!! So that is Healthy, right?!:wink:

    you lose 175 pounds...you can do whatever the hell you want!

    Right? First I read it and I was like "I don't know if that's smart eating.." Then I saw it was from a woman who has absolutely crushed it!!

    If anyone needs me I'll be making a peanut butter and M&M sandwich...

    I LOVE Wild Harvest Organic Peanut Butter (available at Shop N Save in my area...don't know if you can get it other places). It is ONLY organic roasted peanuts. No salt. No sugar. No nasty palm oil. Nothing else added. Just organic peanuts.

    I'm a peanut butter junkie for sure and I'm also a salt-lover so I was skeptical of whether or not I could handle a peanut butter with no salt. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one has better flavor than most salted peanut butter I've ever tasted.

    If you can get it, you should give that one a try! I rarely buy anything else now.

    I love peanut butter, kraft is my fav, but I don't mind natural peanut butter. one treat I like is peanut butter on melba toast...yummy! less calories than bread and feels like more. I hate rice cakes and just can't do it. I had to find something where I got the whole experience of the taste of the peanut butter in my mouth and the texture of the toast...

    If it weren't for PB2, I'd die.

    I put it in oatmeal, shakes, Greek yogurt, roll bananas in it.. And I've been known to eat the stuff dry straight from the package.


    A must-have for me.

    I'm one of those "peanut flour" people and make my own... I can't tell a difference...The amazing part is I can eat twice the amount of my homemade than i can in a jar...for about the same calories. It's awesomeness!
