What to look for in Peanut butter

[Chimpy1993]

I searched this thread but I was still curious what YOU think would make an ideal peanut butter for bodybuilding. I'm adding calories and peanut butter sounded intresting, or even almond butter. I know hydrogenated oils are bad but I was also curious to whatis considered a "high" fat amount for peanut butter?

just look at the ingredients list, limit the ingredients to three ingredients, preferably only two ingredients! peanuts, peanut oil, salt

[MikeK46]

my ideal peanut butter is smooth "old fashioned" style. dry roasted (dark) unblanched peanuts, ground with the peanut skins left on. the skins show as speckles inside the jar and naturally sweeten the butter.

the only ingredients are peanuts and salt. a touch of salt brings out a little more flavor.

There is only one necessary ingredient in peanut butter: Peanuts. The added oil and salt are not necessary to make a delicious spread. You can make peanut butter yourself at home if you're patient (it takes about 10 straight minutes of blending in a food processor on high). Some grocery stores have grinders where you can make your own PB. Much better (and cheaper) than the jarred variety, and you'll never have to worry about it separating.

high fat is good. your typical peanut butter is gonna be 190 cals per two tbsps and and 16ish grams of fat.

[JOSEF RAKICH]

Heaps of fat.

[NaLLa8705]

Peanuts, palm oil, sugar, salt.

Serious.

[sekke]

I like Krema. I think it tastes better than the PB with added stuff. Usually go through a jar of this a week.

Ingrediants: Peanuts.

Go with only peanuts and maximum salt.
Upcoming weekend I will be hitting a shop for some almonds and cashews, will be trying to do my own peanut butter, we will se what happens. At least I'll know it will be 100% natural!

try the natural jif, takes pretty good and doesnt need stirring like some of the other natural pb's.

Also its cheaper than other natty pb

I make my own peanut & almond butter. **** is good, here is a site where I get some ideas... Nut Butter Recipes, scroll down the the nut butter section. The cinnamon raisin pb is good and so is the roasted maple cinnamon almond butter. I'm going to make the chocolate chip cookie dough almond butter next.

Make sure you get roasted peanuts, blanched don't taste as good.

I think I'll just roast it by myself... What do you think 350F for 20min in the oven?

[AlwaysTryin]

Anything with "Peanut Butter & Co" on the label

[adamg8504]

Yeah I roast mine too. That will work, make sure you turn them a couple times and watch them carefully though, so they don't burn.

Do you go with a skin on? Or you remove it after?
As I heard some of the people are removing skin before blending peanuts....

[calmlikewind]

should be peanuts and salt no other crap

I've never bought peanuts with the skin on. Though I've heard it does add a good taste/texture if you leave them on. Maybe I'll try it next time.

[CATCH17]

Repped for this stuff.


I tried the bee knees this weekend and it was awesome.

What do you mean by stirring?

[waatsgood]

What do you mean by stirring?

Most natty peanut butters have a layer of oil on top, its not really a big deal. I just stir it and store the container upside down.

Gotta agree here. The puddle of oil skeeves me out.
