I like to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar, been doing it a lot lately. But I am guessing it is not to good for you, is it?
depends if you're watching your weight. peanuts can sure sneak up on you! left my boyfriend in brasil for one month, the slim active man comes back a pudgy one! peanutbutter is good for you, in somewhat small amounts. it is quite fattening though, and is not THE healthiest nut. if you're into nut butters, you'll LOVE almond butter; it will present no competition when compared! i like to put peanutbutter, soy milk, and a piece of a banana in the blender for a sweet and tasty smoothie. dieters nightmare! bottom line - anything in moderation is okay.
I LOVE peanut butter as well, but the answer is no. Brand name peanut butter from a jar is unhealthy. It is packaged with hydrogenated oils that clog your arteries and raise your cholesterol. Now, peanuts themselves are a healthy source of fat (which your body needs a certain amount of) and protein, that I recommend eating. However, if you are going to eat peanut butter, do yourself a favor and find a all natural brand. Obviously, it does not taste the same as sweetened peanut butter, but it does the trick. You could also make your own.
mmmm, peanut butter on a spoon....so goood....just like brad pitt from 'meet joe black', he had the right idea, no toast, no bread...just the butter plz
i eat it straight from the jar and finish it way too quickly! which is why i dont often buy it so i say indulge, but just dont buy it all the time! the no salt and no sugar peanut butters taste like crap!
As a hitchhiker, I have to say that PB is a godsend. When you haven't got much money, it really keeps you going. Lots of calories and protien - and damn is it yummy!
what do you mean as a hitchhiker? u catch rides with strangers so you need peanut butter? hehe are you a gypsy or just on the road constantly? wheres the computer? sorry im being rude/ hah
Well, right now I'm staying with my parents for a few months, but am usually on the road, travelling about. About computers, most public libraries let you use them. The reason PB's great for me is because on the road I often don't have much money, so it is useful in being inexpensive and filling.
Digging into a jar of peanut butter with a spoon is soooo yummy. Too bad I'm out of peanut butter...again. Seriously though, although I enjoy eating it by the spoon, I try not to do it too often. I'm totally addicted to peanut butter, and I could end up going overboard, and with all of that fat (even though I buy the reduced fat variety) I don't want to start packing on the pounds, because it will do it. And fast. Peanut butter on graham crackers or honey whole wheat pretzels is superb. And of course on apples.
I like eating it out of the jar or spreading it on *really* thick especially in winter when it's really cold or when I'm doing a lot of physical work. I eat far less fatty foods in summer. I usually try to listen to my body, I'm not overweight so I guess that works well.
MMMMM ...Peanut Butter Have you ever had peanut butter and butter sandwhiches? My grandma use to make me eat them...icky. I prefer dipping my finger in the jar and eating it right from my finger. I know that it sounds gross but I hate doing dishes.
