Smart Balance Peanut Butter

[elsie3]

For your Friday enjoyment, I thought I'd start another peanut butter thread. I used to be an Adams girl, myself. But I LOVE the Smart Balance peanut butter--I love it too much, actually.

Favorite way to eat it:
A local bakery makes the best "High Five Fiber" bread with 100% whole wheat flour, flax, millet, oat and wheat bran, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, etc. There are 5 grams of fiber a slice. I toast a slice, smear on some PB, and top with bananas or a little Smucker's spreadable fruit. Delish!!!

Your turn,

I agree Carol; it is great!

Oh, that recipe sounds good! Can you find this PB at a regular grocery store if you live in a larger city?

Thanks!

Naturally More Peanut Butter- it has less fat plus added flax & wheat germ. It's the BEST!!

I eat it in everything- 1 T. in my oatmeal, w/ an apple, mixed in yogurt, you name it!!

 

[marnold]

Yes, Leanne; I found it with no troubles. Good Luck

The stores don't carry Naturally More where I live (I would like the less fat part, since I could eat a whole jar if I let myself), but Smart Balance has Flax. I should try mixing in some wheat germ. All the grocery stores around me are carrying Smart Balance now. I had a little trouble when it first came out, but I think it's becoming better known.

I love Smart Balance PB too! My 4 y.o. DD is a PB&J freak so I really like that it is so easy to spread, moreso than the Smucker's Natural PB that I used to buy.

This is the one I use too. I eat half a whole wheat bagel topped with SB PB and a banana for breakfast every morning. It's my favorite breakfast.

OK, NOW I'm hungry. I love Smart Balance PB. I started buying it for my child that eats PB religiously and for myself too! I love the idea of mixing wheat germ with it... I'll definitely have to try that!

 

[Jess_jugs]

They have it at Super Wal*mart if you have one near you! I've been stocking up a few jars when I buy it as it seems to be growing in popularity (probably from me telling everyone about it! LOL).

Yikes. I eat it right out of the jar. My 15 year old son hides the jar or else there won't be any when he wants it. It's like candy to me, I can't stop! I'd rather have peanut butter than chocolate! :9

I'm going to have to try this out! We are all peanut butter lovers here! In fact, I got home the other day and DD opened the door to let me in and had a spoonful of PB that she was enjoying.

I love the breakfast idea of half of a ww bagel, PB, and a banana...that sounds like my ideal breakfast! My only issue is cost...we go through PB like there's no tomorrow and I just wish the better peanut butters were sold in larger jars!

I'm addicted to Naturally More. I am eating it right out of the jar as I type this ( I've become pretty good at typing while eating PB). OMG, this stuff is great!! I also stock up at the Super wal Mart!! YUM YUM!!

I really prefer the Naturally More over the Smart Balance. I think the Smart Balance tastes kind of burnt for whatever reason.

I take a piece of high fiber bread toasted with Naturally More PB then cover it with fresh blueberries and strawberries - yummy!

Speaking of high fiber bread, I cannot eat inulin, the "naturally occurring fiber" they call chicory root fiber that they put in yogurts and breads. I had a horrible reaction to Fiber One bars because of the inulin - lots of gas or horrible cramping. It's hard to find a good,natural WW bread without it. It's getting as bad as high fructose corn syrup, I tell ya!

I spend so much dang time in the bread isle scouting out decent breads that don't have these Wish I lived in a town that had better health food store optionsx(

But, back to PB -- I agree that I almost prefer it over chocolate....almost:9

I have seen Smucker's all natural (just peanuts and salt, not other stuff added like in other so-called 'natural' PB's) in a larger jar, but not very often.

Food for life has quite a few varieties of whole grain breads (mostly sprouted grains) with no inulin.

What about PB AND chocolate?}(

I was going to try the SB PB, but when I read the ingredients, I decided it wasn't for me. Oil, molasses, salt? Nah.

I love Crazy Richards. It's only ingredient is peanuts, yet, somehow,it is still smooth and creamy like commercial brands!

Hey, Carol, glad to hear someone else likes SB!! I tried the Naturally More, but it's way too sweet for my liking. I can deal with a few more grams of fat in the SB, and I like that it has flax.

I spoon it into oatmeal made with skim milk and then stir in frozen blueberries. That's a breakfast made in heaven!
