Peanut Butter!

[Digger]

Anyone got some recommendations for some proper healthy Peanut Butter. I've heard good things of MyProtein's crunchy and natural offerings. Slightly worried I might down a tub in one go though!


Any other suggestions? Must be natural with no added rubbish!


MODS - Please do not move this to the Food forum! They're are not a particularly healthy bunch in there!

Meridian crunchy! Eat it by the spoon load

Purchased some earlier this afternoon from Holland & Barratt!

Not bad. Think I'll try some of the MyProtein stuff as well.

Doesn't removing the fat defeat the purpose? Do you add water to it?

I think I'm going to try some almond butter as well. If I get time I'll pop in to Whole Foods Market in Piccadilly Circus later and see what they have to offer. Amazing place, just don't take a trolley round there or you'll be looking at a loooong receipt with a large number at the end!

You're preaching to the converted Hoof!!

Like avocados(which I now love), it was one of those foods I absolutely hated as a child and have never eaten until now.

I'm looking at ways of getting more sources of healthy fats, so it makes sense to give peanut / almond butter etc a go, and incorporate them in to my diet. As you know Hoof I'm quite pleased with my progress this year, so trying to tweak things to suit.

Is that ok with you?

A small jar each of Meridian crunchy and smooth almond butter in my possession.

A teaspoon of each just been consumed.

Lovely!

I noticed last night that the whole earth stuff in my local tesco had palm oil which is apparently a no no!?

Some Meridian smooth cashew butter may have been added to the collection! about the equal of the cashew stuff but a tad sweeter again.

Hazelnut butter may well be purchased in the next day or two!

I don't know how you can eat it, just the smell makes me heave - but my O/H says that about Marmite. Does the stuff you're raving about smell better/less than Sunpat?

I don't know how either given I used to 'heave' at the smell when I was much younger!

I also wouldn't have taken to it, had I not decided to get back in to a fitness regime a few months ago, as well as sorting my diet out. As with any 'new' food your palate can adjust.

Unfortunately I have a terrible sense of smell, so even if I had smelt Sunpat, not sure I'd be able to answer your question.

The results are in.

Meridian's Smooth Almond Butter is the winner!

Nope. Peanut Butter is soooo yesterday.

Almond Butter.

Is where it's at!
