slo’s THURSDAY 5/30 poll - Peanut Butter 🥜

[slo]

One of my favorite things in life is peanut butter - I love it so much There’s many different types on the store shelves these days for people to choose from. So my questions today……

Do you eat peanut butter?
If yes….what type(s) do you enjoy eating?
(multiple choice)


For Me……I only eat Jif creamy peanut butter. I used to enjoy crunchy too, but my UC doesn’t allow me to eat peanuts . I have tried the natural/organic, but I didn’t like having to stir it all the time. I also use peanut butter powder (not included in the poll) in my protein drink that I make after I workout. I eat peanut butter multiple times a week - it’s one of my top 5 favorite foods (maybe even my top 3)

I enjoy extra crunchy peanut butter. I especially enjoy it with apple slices. I don’t often have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but DH has them at least once a week.

I voted "I don't eat peanut butter" which is not exactly true. I just don't LIKE peanut butter and I would never choose to eat it if there was another option. It's probably been years since I've eaten straight peanut butter, but I have used it in baked goods/cooking if it's properly "hidden."

However, when I do eat it... I prefer crunchy peanut butter. I've never had extra crunchy, but that sounds even better. I like peanuts, but not peanut butter.

I voted that yes I eat peanut butter. I DO try to keep it to a minimum. I seem to have trouble controlling myself with it. Somebody once commented on the amount of peanut butter I was putting on a sandwich

I am not really picky about brands, but I do prefer the creamy type.

Our recent obsession is gourmet specialty peanut butters called Nerdy Nuts. It's a small company based in South Dakota.

Each week, they 'drop' new flavors to order. Dh and his office buddies buy flavors and bring them in to taste test.

Right now, we have Chantilly flavor, King Cake flavor and Mudslide. We finished Boujee Brownie, Strawberry pretzel and Banana Cream pie.

Fun fact, a cousin's daughter knows one of the owners. Didn't know this until we started trying the peanut butters. One of dh's coworkers introduced him to the peanut butters.

As for regular peanut butters, we buy Great Value creamy.

Love peanut butter if it's Jif Creamy.

Yes, like peanut butter and prefer the Jif brand. Some of the others have an odd taste/texture like eating Crisco with no peanut flavor. For many cookie recipes I like to substitute peanut butter for up to 1/3 of the amount of butter. Seems like a healthier option and gives the cookie a good texture. I find if you sub more then 1/3 of the butter, the result just tastes like a peanut butter cookie. For baking I like the smooth variety while for eating it on crackers or a sandwich prefer the crunchy version.

Have tried some of those 'organic/natural' brands and didn't care for the texture. The oil always seems to separate and gives it a greasy sort of flavor. None of those are good for baking.

I use creamy for cookies or cheesecake or grandkids. Me, I prefer crunchy. With apples mostly, but sometimes just a cracker or two or seven.

 

[NYCgrrl]

I buy either creamy or chunky peanut butter from the natural food shop. What kind depends on my mood.

Honey roasted PB sounds yummy!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Peter Pan creamy only - when they recalled it years ago I went without until it came back as it’s the only one I like - not sure what I’ll do if they stop making it - guess I’ll switch to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups extra Big

 

[unrequited23]

We're also #teamJif. The kids like crunchy, but I tend to buy creamy since it seems to go further/need less to spread on a sandwich.

 

[CdnCarrie]

I only eat kraft peanut butter.
But I’m diabetic so don’t have toast too often.

 

[loves to dive]

Eat PB all the time, creamy and just what ever I can find in low fat. Like you I'm not a fan of the natural. I do also use the powder when I'm making a smoothie. I eat PB mostly at breakfast on either a mini-bagel or an English Muffin. If I have bananas sometimes I'll have a PB and banana sandwich for lunch. My smoothie of choice - Choc. Elvis. Low Fat milk, low fat yogurt, cocoa powder and powdered PB.

I like peanut butter! Crunchy or creamy works for me I know natural is better but I don't like how runny it is/how annoying it is to mix.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Always Peter Pan Creamy. I grew up eating Skippy (my mother's favorite), and then we switched to giant tubs of Jif (because it was on sale). But my sitter always gave us Peter Pan. Love it.

I will buy Peter Pan in bulk and hoard it because I can't risk a Peter Pan shortage. Once I had to buy Crunchy because the grocery store was out of creamy. It was good, but creamy is the best.

Yes, I feel your pain. That was the worst. I guess that's why I hoard it now.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I don't eat peanut butter very often but when I do it has to be creamy and natural. I do not like sugar in my peanut butter and most of the major brands contain sugar.

 

[Marrila]

Jif is my favorite brand. I enjoy peanut butter toast for breakfast occasionally.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Lost 22 jars in that recall - my family thought I had a peanut butter problem - only problem I had was NO peanut butter!!!

I occasionally get a hankering for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the freshest white bread I can find, washed down with a cold glass of milk.
