I miss the 5lb tubs i could get for cheap at Safeway back in Oregon.

But i only eat plain peanut and salt style peanut butter.
I'm not a fan of hydrogenated fat and/or industrial vegetable oils.

JIF Extra Crunchy

I haven't bought peanut butter in several years because it inevitably results in me eating it straight from the jar with a spoon.

I like PB2 though. Not as good as real peanut butter obviously, but it's still good if you mix it right. Sometimes I add it to my (chocolate) protein shakes which is tasty and an improvement over just the whey by itself.

Crunchy is definitely the way to go for real PB though.

I like that organic crunchy stuff.

[psmith]

Skippy actually does a pretty respectable crunchy organic glass-jar peanut butter.

Now that I'm on the gainz train I'm back to JIF peanut butter. But PB2 is a legit lower calorie option.

I found adding a little honey to PB2+water makes for a much better consistency.

I like Jif Natural.

Don't they have a machine at the grocery store that grinds it fresh? It's far better. And they often have an almond grinder too. . . .

The Redi-mix of the peanut butter world.

I use a store brand. Ingredients are peanuts and salt. Took a little adjustment after eating Skippy for a long time, but I prefer it now. Smooth, not crunchy.

I don't like sugary foods at all, but I fuckng love JIF. Not much of a fan of Skippy. Never tried Reese's, Peter Pan or Planters. What should I try?

Smuckers all-natural. Jif is a paltry half step above Skippy, but Smuckers is delicious. And it has the consistency of homemade peanut butter instead of the yogurt-like monstrosity that is Jif.

Alas, they don't sell it here in Alaska. But it wouldn't surprise me if Germany has it.

[Chebass88]

I like the natural kinds (like Smuckers), where you have to mix them before use. We mostly use the 2-pack from Costco.

Tip: After you buy it, store your peanut butter upside down. You'll still have to mix it, but it is not as much of a mess when mixing it, as the oil is on the bottom.

I also like PB2, and use it when I eat cereal. Two heaping TBS in the bowl, pour in cereal, and milk = tasty.

Koeze Cream Nut. Peanut butter should have exactly two ingredients, peanuts and salt.

I do that and then I use an electric mixer to mix it. Stick the beaters right into the jar. Start with a few pulses at low speed if you don't want the oil everywhere.

I like Trader Joe's unsalted crunchy which has only one ingredient. The salted versions have too much salt for my taste.

No, those others suck.
Natty Jif is king.

Edit: I like the taste of a true natural PB, but I can't mix it up without getting oil all over myself and the kitchen so I just end up eating dry peanut paste. Natty Jif is a nice compromise.

Fact: adding salt, sugar, and hydrogenated oil to any food makes it better.
