    Lol I read this then go to MSN where I learn that it is national peanut butter day. They have recipes and stuff but I didn't look to see if any were healthy.

    Hey I thought people outside the U.S thought Peanut butter was gross? So are you guys considered strange, or is peanut butter catching on?

    I love Jif Crunchy P.B. . I told my wife yesterday I needed to get a huge jar and eat it until I got sick, so I'd stop craving it.

    I don't think that's possible. Peanut butter is awesome.

    I grew up eating peanut butter (UK in the 70s) - generally mixed with a little Marmite or Bovril in our house! I think all my family like it, but loads of people hate it. It's not so widespread as in the USA, but we've had it around for ages.

    I can't tell you how happy I am to see this thread! I was just telling my parents last Saturday how it seems that EVERY DAY I crave a spoonful of peanut butter and nothing else seems to satisfy the craving. My mom suggested my body is craving protein, but I think it's just the taste and consistency of the peanut butter that I love! MORE PEOPLE LIKE ME! YAY! :)

    My jar at home is almost empty. :( And by almost, I mean I am going to have to scrape my spoon around the inside to get as much peanut butter out of it as I can. I wasn't going to buy another jar, hoping it would kick my craving... but now that I see other people are also PB-crazy, maybe I will!

    My favorite Peanut Butter is the Trader Joe's brand creamy. They don't add any sugar which is nice, and it just tastes better than other brands, it actually tastes and smells like peanuts and nothing more (because peanuts and salt are the only ingredients!).

    HaHa, That won't work, the more I buy the more my DH eats (he's a PB addict). I love it too, on apples, celery, bread, crackers, spoon, anyway to get it to my mouth. BUT - I have to limit it carefully. It is a great snack with fruit or celery mid day!

    When I get hungry right before bed I grab a spoon full of peanut butter and I am satisfied!

    Might have been mentioned already, but try PB2... it's lower calories, and still tastes pretty darn good! ;)

    I don't have anywhere around me that sells it, so I purchased it online (a little more pricey, but worth it in my opinion...)

    ^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!! I totally L-O-V-E PB2! Its great mixed into oatmeal, tossed in with shakes, or even all by itself. I like to take a cut apple and dip it into PB2. SOOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So you only buy one jar? I usually buy them in threes. :bigsmile: I love it with apples and can't wait to try it mixed with greek yoghurt like someone suggested. Yummo!

    I would recommend you try it, but you may not be able to stop eating it. So maybe it's best this way. :-)

    I haven't been eating it on sandwiches but I do use it in smoothies everyday,and found something called better 'n' peanut butter and it tastes the same and only has 100 calories per serving (2 TBSP) so in my smoothie I only eat 50 calories and even with everything else I put in, protein powder, almond milk, oats, banana and spinach, I can still taste the pb, it's great!

    I've had it with oatmeal in the morning at work, and it's carried me through the morning. I do need to get some celery sticks, I used to love celery & PB as a kid.

    I am in the U.K. so brands are different but I wasn’t going to mention them here anyway… Obviously the natural, organic PB is better. But even the one with little added sugar and salt does the job of killing the cravings.

    No! No! You are on MFP! You must become an MFP clone and do as you're told. ONLY ORGANIC. ONLY PEANUTS. If you eat added sugar and salt you will DIE a horrible DEATH!

    :-)

    Kidding. I love peanut butter. I eat a couple servings of it a day. My favorite is Skippy Natural. I've never tasted a peanut butter better than that. I like to eat it with a little dark chocolate. And then I have this chocolate peanut butter i put in my fruit smoothies that's awesome.

    I love the skippy natural with honey! It's worth the 2g extra of sugar. And omg Nutella...that stuff is dangerous!!
