I love, love peanut butter and toast. I'm looking for a good, healthy (organic would be even better) brand. All the good taste without all the calories and sugar. Any suggestions?

    It isn't peanut butter but I love Marantha natural almond butter. It is naturally a little sweeter than peanut butter, or I think it tastes that way at least. It is a little lower in saturated fats and it is actually a nut butter unlike peanut butter.

    The all natural version of jiff is good...and it has the consistency of the not so healthy kind of peanut butter....granted it's not organic but it was my go-to for a while

    Honestly, best peanutty taste ever is to just make your own. It takes no time in one of those little blender thingies and the intense flavour is unreal. :)

    ^^^^^ Homemade PB is amazing! I'm sure it's much easier with a food processor...I used a mortar and pestle (great workout for the arms but took FOREVER to get a good consistency)...the joys of living in a developing country :)

    I use Almond Butter. Peanut butter is a very low grade of nuts and protein.

    Go to a whole foods place that has a grinder and grind your own. Then you know exactly what's in it.

    I use Naturally More brand for a protein snack with an apple or banana. It has Omega-3 and Flaxseed in it great supplements included. But for my PB sandwiches I prefer the texture of Jif Natural. I never thought of buying peanuts and making it myself have to look into that!

    Just bought some PB2. It's a peanut powder that has all the oil squeezed out of it. Only 45 calories for 2 Tbs. Also has 5 grams of protein. Put some in a banana smoothie and it was really good tasting but a little grainy. Would love some good recipes for it!

    I use PB2 for my protein shakes and I love Trader Joe's natural with flax seeds, but nothing beats my Extra Crunchy Jif!! :tongue:

    I like Better'n peanut butter (it says all natural, but there are a TON of ingredients)

    I also like Peanut Butter & Co "Smooth Operator" (Their version of an all-natural, organic PB)...it has 4 ingredients I believe

    The best tasting is NO DOUBT skippy 25% reduced fat :)

    ^^^This is the only one I use! The unsalted version, only ingredient is peanuts! The awsome thing about it is it's made in the next city over from me.

    They make a low cal, low fat one. It's called Wonder Butter and all it is is made from dehydrated peanuts. It's the same thing they do to lower the fat value in animal feeds and we are animals.

    Dumb question: how do you make it? Just dump some unsalted peanut in the blender?

    I use Trader Joe's Raw Unsalted Almond butter and Chocolate PB2.....
    Better N Butter is a low fat alternative that tastes a little like Mary Jane candy
