    I buy the Adams all Natural unsalted peanut butter, because I have a 2 yr old and don't want to give her pb full of artificial stuff. But I do enjoy it occasionally myself.

    I've been on the road to stop eating peanut butter because of the caloric bang for buck, and also because it inhibits yeast to readily grow in your intestines, and I believe I'm battling candida. I've always been a smuckers organic girl, but lately I've been experimenting with almond butters.... I highly, highly, highly recommend maranatha no stir almond butter (crunchy). It was so much better than I anticipated... I didn't expect to like it but I fell in love.

    Have you tried Better'n Peanut Butter? I get updates from Hungry Girl's website and she added it to her list of suggested foods. It has 85% less fat and 40% less calories than regular PB. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to because I love PB! Their website is www.betternpeanutbutter.com

    Unfortunately, I can't try PB2 because there are no retail stores near Chicago and I prefer not to buy products online. Right now I'm leaning towards MaraNatha, I think I'll purchase both the peanut butter version and the almond butter version.

    Don't fall for any of those substitutes. The nutrition panel might be alluring but at heart it's fake food.

    I love Trader Joe's organic creamy and crunchy versions. They also carry almond butter and (believe it or not) sunflower seed butter, both scrumptious.

    I know this is an old post, but I found a PEANUT BUTTER (not the alternatives) that has less calories than regular or reduced fat. I just bought Peter Pan Creamy 1/3 less sugar peanut butter which has 150 calories per 2 tbsp. It's not a HUGE difference, but enough for me to want to work it into my meal plan more. :)

    What are your favorite (preferably organic) brands of peanut butter that are tasty while still being low-cal and low-fat?

    I use "Just Great Stuff" powdered peanut butter. I don't add the water to turn it back into peanut butter though, I use it in protein shakes, yogurt, etc., so I can't guarantee how it will taste if you use it as a peanut butter alternative. It is good mixed though.

    Nutritional Info for 2 Tbsp -
    Cal: 45
    Fat: 1.5g
    Carbs: 5g
    Protein: 4g
    Fiber: 1g
    Sugar: 2g

    I get the Meriden PB from Holland & Barratt - nothing but PEANUTS (i.e. no oil or anything else added). It's delicious.
