Brand of peanut butter?

DMD1029 · March 2010

I'm trying to find more ways to eat protein while dealing with m/s and so spent about 20 minutes in the peanut butter aisle trying to figure out which was the "best" brand. I ended up buying some natural peanut butter, which I have to say, tasted disgusting. So, how bad are some of the brands (Jiff etc) and what brand do you use?

Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? They have an awesome natural peanut butter that has flax seeds on top. It's absolutely delicious!!

We use Smart Balance brand, it has more Omega 3s and stuff than 'other' brands.

I use Jif Reduced Fat Creamy on my crackers. I don't know about it being the 'best' pb out there health-wise but it's only got 4 grams of sugars and 8grams of protein per serving and is fairly low carb for a PB at 15g.

I LOVE pb and eat it all the time. My MIL has been trying to get me to eat the natural pb for a while and I think it's gross too. Jif really doesn't seem all that bad for you. It had mono and diglycerides in it, which I don;t think are natural, but the rest of the ingredients are natural. That's the brand that I eat most of the time.

I like Stop and Shop brand of All Natural peanut butter the best.

That's what we use too. The one that's sweetened with agave nectar.

I love Jiff... I don't know (or care) how good/bad it is for me. Everything in moderation.

we don't eat jiff or other ones with sugar. we eat organic peanut butter. local organic store brand, but there is also nut n butter or something like that - that i eat.
