One of my recent obsessions is Peanut Butter. It is easy to buy Jif or Skippy Peanut Butter, but the brand names are generally loaded with sugar, salt, and trans fats. The best peanut butter I have found is MaraNatha organic nut butters. This brand is all natural, has no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, or preservatives. This product is cholesterol free and has very low sodium. Also, for those of you that need to eat gluten free, this is a great choice! The best part about this product is that it is produced in Ashland, Oregon!!! There are several nut butter choices that MaraNatha offers. I have only tried to regular peanut butter and almond butters, but I discovered a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter that looks divine! This is a great snack after a hard workout when you pair a tablespoon of peanut butter with an apple or banana. Mmmmm! You can also freeze spoonfuls of this and grab them to enjoy whenever you need something slightly sweet and salty. I read that you can melt the dark chocolate pb and enjoy it over fat free vanilla ice cream...I cannot imagine anything tasting better than that! This product is only $4.99 which isn't too expensive for the quality and taste.
The best alternative to MaraNatha is Jif All Natural. It tastes great and is made with only 5 ingredients.
