Peanut Butter- what kind?

[whitemerlot]

My son eats peanut butter sandwiches for lunch almost every day. I've been buying the Costco Organic All Natural version, but it's so hard to spread. What kind do you buy?

[zarapipe]

Whatever name brand that is on sale. I'm not brand loyal for PB.

The stuff that's "good for you" is hard to spread.

I buy Kraft. It's full of sugar, but it's easy to spread.

I like the Jif Natural because it is easy to spread. I used to buy Smuckers Natural, but I could never get the oil fully mixed with the peanut butter so I'd have a few oily sandwiches then a jar of dried peanut powder.

I like the Skippy Natural, and my grocery store usually has a good sale on it about once per month. They used to sell it at Costco and it was a great deal, but I haven't seen it there recently

[awkwardpenguin]

Skippy Natural. It has sugar though if you're concerned about that.

[boxerdog]

I am terrible, I hate natural peanut butter. I just buy regular old Peter Pan.

I used to buy the "no-stir" natural until I realized it was made with palm oil, which is really bad for the environment.

[felicity]

I like Jif Natural . Less oily and sugary than Skippy Natural.

Trader Joe's is my favorite.

Skippy or Jif. Whatever is cheaper at the time.

Sugar for life. H also loves PBJ himself and eats his weight in them when I'm at work....Healthy PB is too expensive for that.

There are worse things in the world for my kids than regular PB.

And if you're interested in branching out to almond butter, Barney Butter is amazing and super easy to spread.

Smuckers natural or store brand natural. Only ingredients are peanuts and a little salt.

Jif, maybe Jif Natural. The 'healthy' stuff is too hard to spread.

[ewall]

Kroger brand natural PB

[blueberry10]

Jif or Jif Natural, sometimes store brand if nothing else is on sale. The healthy stuff rips up the bread too much.

[dcn]

Also this is awesome for stirring natural Pb.

Jif Natural, mmm.

[starburst]

I like Smuckers all natural if I'm watching my sugar intake. Otherwise I like Jif.

[meltoine]

I buy Kroger brand natural. It spreads easily but has no sugar.

[spk926]

Jif whips is by far my favorite!

Have you tried storing the jar upside down? I've found that this helps to keep the oil mixed more evenly and thereby makes it easier to spread.

I do this with sun butter and peanut butter.

I can't really remember the last time I bought peanut butter. J has an allergy so he has always eaten sunbutter. Once we confirmed he wasn't allergic to almonds also I started buying Barney too to mix it up with the sunbutter and I eat it too.

I buy jif natural mostly.

I just bought some Peter Pan simply or something like that and really like it, but it's not creamy, it's a little chunky.

[anna7602]

@awinter, try Barney butter on celery with a little bit of Fleur de Sel sprinkled on top (or any kind of chunky salt)- MMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Skippy

[londoncalling]

Skippy natural with honey. It's sugar, sugar, sugar and delicious!!!

[qcinoct]

we use Kraft but I think it's only available in Canada.

[KKD]

We use WF 365 organic creamy peanut butter. (I specify organic because I like it with a little sugar and salt, and the non-organic version doesn't have sugar.) When I can't get that, I get Skippy Natural.

H likes the fresh ground peanut and almond butters from WF.

[darnkatz]

I buy Adams unsalted natural PB. No added sugar or oil.

[lizlemon19]

smart balance creamy PB. spreads well.
