Peanut Butter Appreciation Society - PBAS

Wow, that was genuinely really interesting! I hope things have improved since that was recorded

Anyone got any good suggestions to top with peanut butter for a quick mouthful

Dates. The Persian juicy ones.
On top of a pb dollop, or even better stuff the date with pb.

Gherkins/cornichons, the acidity goes great with the pb, likewise for pickled carrot batons (no dill for me).

Where do I get cbd peanut butter???

In 3 large prospective cohort studies, higher consumption of total and specific types of nuts was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease.

Having read this thread I feel like I need to up my peanut butter game, we use a cheap Costco option called Skippy, it’s nice enough (I use it in smoothies) but if you want to get heart disease it’s probably full of saturated fat and therefore a good choice.

Interesting read that study.

My father has peanut butter all the time. Is the size of a house and on blood pressure medication

but if you want to get heart disease it’s probably full of saturated fat and therefore a good choice.

But isn't the article saying that consuming tree nuts (peanuts) reduces the chance of getting heart disease?

It is.

I think @marcomarcos is saying the ‘Skippy’ peanut butter he’s eating isn’t 100% peanuts and contains other ingredients, which are likely not healthy.

Absolutely! Peanuts are good.

I’m a bit conflicted though. Look at the Skippy numbers in the article Below and compare them with the best ranked butter. I guess what I’m asking - is it going to make that much difference to my health sticking with Skippy when all I eat is 1 tbsp a day.

That’s a debatable “best” though, still pretty high saturated fat. Edit: I misread, if 2 tablespoons is 30g then it’s not much higher.

Here’s the Pip & Nut smooth I’m about to load up my porridge with:

Never knew there were different types of peanut. Hi-Oleic = mind blown.

Or just eat what you like? Reading this thread has given me a problem I didn’t know I had. I might give Meridian a try.

If your peanut butter consumption habits continue as they are, you will become morbidly obese and your heart will explode and you will die and nobody will ever love you. Probably.

That’s why my hob nob habit keeps the diet healthy and balanced.

Personally I really dislike the flavour of Meridian. I find it has a darker roasty flavour compared with Pip and Nut.

I agree with whoever said a few pages back that Whole Earth is the winner when it comes to consistency though.

Definitely debatable best
The US has a different starting point to judge most things in terms of their attitude to processing food.

Scary considering potential sneaky deals being struck with the US Post Brexit

Or just eat what you like?

Skippy is objectively bad

I bought a small jar of Morrison’s 100% this afternoon, will see how I get on with that

Just ordered some pip n nut can’t wait

I have always loved the Whole Earth crunchy stuff, but the dark one has raised it up a notch.

I do sometimes like it when they've run out of posh stuff and you buy a supermarket own brand one that's got sugar in as well though because it feels naughty.

PB is the best though. A spoonful in granola or overnight oats is great.

Also, chocolate digestive with peanut butter on, and marmalade on top of that.

Thank me later.

Glad I found this thread. My partner was genuinely concerned that I was getting through 1kg a week, now I can tell her it’s normal and lots of people do it.

I’m all about 100% peanuts (or as close to) pip & nut is my regular at the mo cos it’s the cheapest I can get easily. Also like meridian and Biona. Enjoyed the dark roasted manilife when I tried it.. will check out some of the other recommendations too.

1kg a week? That’s just nuts.

Ever just gotten a square of ultra dark chocolate and dunked it into a tub of peanut butter? 👌

Fuck the h8rs
