The Better Peanut Butter



Is there anything better than peanut butter? It can seriously go on anything…bread, cookies, pretzels, animal crackers, bagels, and pancakes. There’s even a restaurant in my town called Triple X that is known for putting peanut butter on cheeseburgers.

There are many different brands of peanut butter that mainly come in either smooth or creamy texture. With so many choices, how do you choose which one’s the best?

Personally, I love dipping my pretzels in crunchy peanut butter, and when you’re just pulling pretzels from the bag, it’s easy to eat a lot without even realizing it. So, I want to make sure that I’m eating a really nutritious type of peanut butter.

After 18 years of peanut butter eating, I finally found my true love. Smucker’s Natural is the best! Its texture it perfect because it is a mix between crunchy and creamy and yet it’s still smooth. Also, it’s all natural. The ingredients are just peanuts and salt. It can’t get any better than that.

This peanut butter makes a great snack that’s healthy and tastes great! So for a more natural snack without all those extra ingredients, try Smucker’s. You can get it at any store like Wal-Mart or Meijer. You can also get it at a health foods store along with other healthy alternatives.

To find out more about Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, check out their website. Different flavors are listed with the nutrition facts so you can actually know what you're eating!

Do you have to mix the separated oil and butter before you decide to eat it? If not, it has trans fat, which is really the worse kind of fat there is. And if it's less than 0.5g of it in a serving the FDA allows it to be label has having 0g of trans fat. But without it, oh no, you have to stir the product first. Talk about a hassle.

That said, I'll eat both, just not as much of the ones with hydrogenated oils. I end up feeling better if I go with the organic stuff. Cashew butter is pretty good too.
