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

[hertamaniac]

I used to eat it more often, but I think they (Peter Pan) discontinued the version. I like the whipped version with much less sugar and was lighter.

I love peanut butter. I don't eat it often though. Too high in calories and carbs, but it is a spurge.
I prefer Jif, but like Skippy also. Creamy only.
I have an "I love peanut butter" spoon, and do eat it out of the jar, like it on bread and on ice cream.

I don't eat peanut butter, can't stand the taste of anything peanut.

 

[SueInBoston]

I don't normally eat peanut butter so I don't buy it..however, I'm addicted to Trader Joe's Peanut Butter filled pretzel nuggets. I have to limit myself to buying only 1 bag per trip.

I LOVE peanut butter, but I only eat PB2 (powdered pb). As we all know, peanut butter is high in calories and fat. I have been on WW for over a year and PB2 fits in with the plan, so PB2 it is.

I put yes, I eat it+other because we have a serious allergy in the house and we do not keep it here. So, growing up and into adulthood I would eat PB all the time. Now, I can only eat it when I'm out and not going to be near the person in a short time. It's not worth all the sanitizing and separation at home for such a serious and life-threatening reaction.

I keep it around, just switched to the Skippy Natural in the squeeze packaging because it is so much more sanitary. Few everyday things make me gaggy more than something else in the PB. When raising a family I threw the jars of PB and the Jelly out more than I can count, opening it up to a science experiment was always I also switched to the squeeze jam, same reason.

Some family members love it but I like it in such small doses, I enjoy a small bit on Hershey's kiss every once in a while or on celery in Ants on a Log from my old Girl Scouts cookbook.

I like peanut butter and most often eat it on a spoon when I am hungry between meals. One spoonful gets me to the next meal. My DH loves it and eats it almost daily. He only likes creamy so that’s what we have. I don’t care. We were Jif only early on, then skippy, now he’s not too picky—he even eats a local store brand.

I like peanut butter, but I don't eat it very often. DD17 is deathly allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, so it's not something I like to keep around. When I do have it, I have to be really careful about clean up. She's only consumption allergic, but I'm always afraid that I'll leave some residue on a counter that she'll touch and then unknowingly put her finger in her mouth if she's in a nervous nail-biting phase.

As for brands, I couldn't care less. I also prefer chunky over creamy. My parents were just in town and my dad is a big peanut butter on toast fan. They left behind an unopened jar of Peter Pan natural creamy. I'm eating it, just because a spoonful is a good little snack if my tummy rumbles between meals. I honestly don't see much of a difference between the cheaper store brand.

Side note- hardly healthy, but my favorite thing...a bag of milk chocolate chips and a jar of peanut butter. There's nothing like a spoonful of chips and peanut butter...it's better than any commercially produced peanut butter cup.

Smooth peanut butter for me ...with Marmite!

 

[jimmymc]

All the time! I tend to make my own in the food processor, but I use Jif honey if I don't have the chance.

 

[Micca]

I don't eat peanut butter but I like peanut butter flavored things like cookies, Reeses, etc.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I like PB, creamy or crunchy. We generally do not have crunchy on hand, Marie does not like crunchy. Any brand is fine but I think we always have Skippy.

 

[georgina]

I like crunchy PB, on toast and apples. I buy PB with only peanuts - no added salt, sugar, or oil.

 

[fla4fun]

I am a creamy Jif fan. I eat peanut butter frequently, often having a peanut butter sandwich for dinner if I don’t feel like cooking. I also make sure I have plenty on hand for hurricane rations.

I don’t like the crunchy for sandwiches, but I do use it occasionally for baking.

 

[tvguy]

Always extra crunchy, always whatever brand has the lowest price. Although my wife has been on an Almond Butter kick recently for her work lunches. We do keep a small jar of smooth peanut butter around for cooking (baking).

 

[lovin'fl]

I love me some PB. I eat too much of it.

 

[lynxstch]

I love peanut butter, only creamy, and only Peter Pan. Otherwise I won't touch it

 

[CynBeth]

I love it! I have a PB&J sandwich for lunch Monday-Friday and sometimes have it other times.

 

[Kitty 34]

I don't eat peanut butter but I like peanut butter flavored things like cookies, Reeses, etc.

I'm the complete opposite! I love my peanut butter but not in candy or anything baked.
