What is your favorite peanut butter


Quote  |  Reply
I am looking for a better peanut butter. I currently love Simply jiff peanut butter but it has a lot of calories but is more filling than other things. I need suggestions for a good low-fat/low-cal peanut butter   if that exsist?  I am not sure let me know guys.

Most people will suggest the natural peanut butters, but I prefer creamy Peter Pan.  :)
Everybody knows that skippy honey roasted peanut butter is the best ;)
I check the label and pick one without sugar or hydrogenated vegetable oil!  Did you know that most peanut butters have both?  Ack!
Did you know that some of the natural peanut butters are more loaded in fat than my favorite simply jif by like at least 20 more calories per serving
well my favorite is Reese's Peanut butter but its not sold everywhere and is no way good for you....but healthwise I perfer natural PB, the taste is much different but you get used to it
Kraft makes a light peanut butter that is pretty good. Don't have any in my cupboard right now but when I go shopping on Friday I'll try and get the calories for it.
Personally, I'll stick to whole natural peanut butter.  After all, if I'm eating it, I want the fat.  I like Trader Joe's brand, the salted, creamy kind.
I was born a dedicated Peter Pan Peanut Butter consumer but gave it up earlier this year because of the trans fats.  I now purchase organic peanut butter, usually archer farms brand - Creamy with salt.  I do not like crunchy peanut butter - creamy reigns supreme.
A great alternative to peanut butter is soynut butter   I.M. Healthy brand (I know, cute name huh?) makes a good one.  especially for people who may be allergic to peanuts. I put it on 100% whole grain bread with sugar free jam, total calories 255.  Just as high in protein, a little less in calories and fat. *ribbet*
I like Smart Balance Crunchy peanut butter. It doesn't have any hydrogenated vegetable oil, no added sugar, has 100% daily value of omega fats added in as well (the good kind of fat!), and some other good stuff but I can't remember. It tastes so natural and good! Plus, I'm a crunchy peanut butter fan. Has about 10 more calories than the regular kinds of peanut butter but I don't think it matters since it has so much good things behind it. ;)
gingin81 i love jif too! currently working on a jar....had tablespoon this morning on my bagel....hard for me to try any other brand
Choosy moms choose Jif.

I'm not a mom, but I like regular Jif creamy.

My hubbie likes extra chunky Jif.
I'm a huge fan of Maranatha smooth & sweet (and their crunchy & sweet).  It's transfat-free, preservative-free and doesn't require stirring.  Best of all, it tastes a lot like the Jif and Skippy that I grew up with, but without the guilt.
I love peanut butter...I eat it every morning.....shouldn't but do!

My favorite is the all natural ones, with nothing added. 

Right now I have a jar of Trader Joes, which is pretty good!  The price isn't too bad either.
I agree with tiamat_the_red I also like Trader Joes all natural peanut butter in creamy but I get the unsalted kind.
tlwerner, why shouldn't you?  It's good for you as long as you don't eat too much.
I've been trying out all of Smuckers' Natural peanut butters. So far my favorite is the chunky (with salt). But if you want "peanut butter" with less fat/calories, I bought this stuff called Naturally More Peanut Butter (http://www.peanutsnack.com/) a few weeks ago. It's sweeter than I'm used to, but it was still pretty good.
my fave is kraft smooth... it melts in my mouth like a heavenly treat from the gods...

but in an effort to lower my sodium intake, i now buy kraft smooth sugar and salt free. it does have those pesky hydrogenated oils, but i try not to eat my peanut butter too often. once i ate four tablespoons - really more because it's not like i actually measured out 15g... that was nearly 400 calories!!

peanut butter is a real weakness for me... maybe i should try the all natural stuff - and if i hate it, i can just stop buying peanut butter all together...

if only it wasn't so creamy and delish!! *cue homer simpson's voice* "mmmmm peanut butter"

and since i mentioned the simpsons... here is marge for you

magicbluefairy,

I am the same way....love the stuff, my weakness too....try the all natural, it really is pretty good....AND if your like me, you can't stop buying peanut butter...cause it's in your blood!!!!!!   :)  Mmmmmm
I love Crazy Richard's - nothing in it but peanuts so that's what it tastes like!
