So I am wondering about Peanut Butter is it healthy or not and in what amounts.

And before anyone says ask your nut. I can't... I live in a tiny town 4 hours away from where I had surgery. no nut. here.

now I am going to say I have been studying on how to eat better and we (my family have changed how we eat) even my husband has lost 22 lbs. and not by dieting but because we changed our life style. but books are conflicting on peanut butter one uses it as a good example the other as bad so whats your opinion or what has your nut. told you? :wub:

Thanks in advance I really do appreciate it!

I prefer almond butter over Peanut Butter because it is a healthier nut. I usually only eat almond butter as a snack with crackers, on fruit, or in my Protein shakes. 1-2 spoon fulls are more than enough for daily intake.

Almond butter is way more expensive, but investing in our health is important. I purchase my almond butter from the organic store for about $8.99. It lasts forever!

Here are some fun facts. Which ever you decide, make sure it is all natural unsalted.

i bought PB2 on Amazon. it's really good!

Chocolate PB2 is awesome! I add it to my protein shakes too!

You could invest in a food processor, if you don't already have one, and make your own "nut" butters. I make all of mine, including hummus from scratch, this way I know exactly what I am putting into my body. If you are craving something sweet try adding a little bit of agave syrup to natural PB.
