Peanut butter

[Wendi70]

Peanut butter is on my list of 'occasional' indulgence/good source of protein. If you are a peanut butter fan, what brand do you think is best (maybe a little healthier than creamy Jim)?

 

[JudyNY]

Good question. I love peanut butter!

I use PB fit for many things. It is a great, great flavor additive. However, mixed up as a replacement for peanut butter, say on toast .. really not ideal. It's not very creamy and it really kinda gross. So, I use all natural Jif if I decide to eat peanut butter on toast, which I love. I highly recommend PB Fit for PB flavor in chocolate pudding, oatmeal, protein shakes etc. But .. NOT ON TOAST!

I use natural jiff too

I like the old fashioned Jiff or Skippy, usually I get the one that says natural too. I quit the Smuckers Natural it is too thick and hard, and all that oil that you have to stir in.
Peanut butter makes me feel like I have actually eaten something that gives me some satisfaction (not getting it anywhere else). I love it!

Hands Down American Dream Nut butter. They have peanut butters, almond butters and cashew butters with high protein, low carb, low sugar they are to die for. I put it in my Greek yogurt, make smoothies, on fruit and just a teaspoon full of yummy goodness

I get the ALDI brand regular peanut butter. It’s not something I have often, but I haven’t had issues with it.

I confess I like the extra super crunchy name brand peanut butters! Love them on toasted Dave’s Bread with sliced bananas on top

I like skippy super chunk!

 

[Bill sperry]

Yup Skippy super chunk for me too

 

[JudyNY]

Ditto! And I like Dave's Killer Bread too. I get the seeded thin sliced.

 

[3boysmom]

Never tried chunky pb! I wonder if I'd like it. I get Dave's bread for my kids. I like to put unsweetened applesauce on top of my peanut butter toast! Maybe that's weird, idk,lol. I love Aldi's 45 calorie bread!

I am going to investigate this brand!

Ohhhhhh for a treat I love the individual packets of Justine’s Almond butter. They have a cinnamon almond butter that is SO good. I save them for car rides or movie nights - eat then right from the packet. But you can buy jars as well.

 

[JudyNY]

OH that sounds good!

 

[Bill sperry]

They are good

 

[MamaJ]

Adams chunky all the way!

 

[Tray]

I suggest smucker’s Natural peanut butter. It comes chucky or creamy. I love creamy. It is all natural. No added sugar. Great Choice!

I believe that PB2 now has a chunky option... I know for sure they have some additional flavors, but I swear I saw the chunky when was ordering refills

 

[WazzuCoug]

I usually either buy unsalted, unsugared peanut butter or grind my own. Give it to me straight, without anything added.

However, in my previous life, Adams creamy or Trader Joes creamy were good, but sometimes I'd get in the mood for super chunky.

Processed peanut butter (with added sugar/salt and stuff to keep it from separating) used to be a major trigger for for me. I'd eat 2, 3 or 4 peanut butter sandwiches in on sitting with probably more than a 1/4 cup of peanut butter on each on, plus honey or jam. Yeah, it was a calorie and sugar disaster! lol. It doesn't seem to have that effect on me anymore, but I enjoy a bit of the plain stuff now and then.

I also use PB2 powder more than regular PB in my chia puddings and such.
