I have. But it's not labeled LC. It's all natural, ingredients are
roasted peanuts and salt (no added oil or sugar of any sort). The brand
name is Teddies, and it's carried in New England supermarkets. It's a
little thicker than Trader Joes' all natural peanut butter; the latter
is pretty runny, especially on warm LC toast.

My favorite are the Sugar Free Fudgesicles from popsicle but I can only find
them in a multipack with sf Creamsicles and Popsicles. The creamsicles are
good too but I wish I could find the fudgesicles seperately. It's called the
Healthy Pack or something like that.

I never messed with LC peanut butter, just get the natural stuff with no
sugar. Peanuts are going to be a little carby no matter what. The ones I get
are 4g (net) per 2 tbsp.

i have 2 kinds in the fridge.

Stop & Shop All Natural creamy Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp = 7g total carbs (3g =
fiber) ingredients: peanuts, salt
Teddie Super Chunky Old Fashioned Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp = 7g total carbs (3g
= fiber) ingredients: roasted peanuts, salt

both are from a local super market and they carry others. I am sure if you
have Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fairway or a health food store there will be
many choices

I've always wanted to take my stick blender to some peanuts and make my own
like in the infomercials but i am scared to burn out the motor!

I think the only differece in the supposely LC peanut butter is the lack of
added sugar which you find in the regular brands. The product I mentioned
was marketed as a LC peanut butter which basically meant that no sugar was
added.....seems like that would make it a natural peanut butter, though it
was not marketed that way.

Some of the natural peanut butters in my local store are carbier than I'd
like. Of course, there is almond butter, but it seems expensive by
comparison.

i don't think so. natural peanut butter is just peanuts and salt (or no
salt)
My husband's jar of regular peanut butter has: peanuts, sugar, fully
hydrogenated vegetable oil(rapeseed, cottoneseed and soybean) molasses and
salt. He says he doesn't like the natural kind (?!?)

i wouldn't be surprised if other brands have trans fats, stabilizers,
modifiers, and whatever chemicals to try to recreate plain old smashed
peanuts. also - natural peanut butter should be refridgerated, this other
stuff doesn't have to be.

natural peanut butter is just peanuts. true, this other jar of peanut butter
is 6g carbs, 2 g fiber and 3g sugar (where is that other carb??) and so
it's also 4g net BUT it's got sugar and molasses and added oils.

Yesterday I saw a bottle of CarbWell Steak Sauce in the supermarket. One of
the first ingredients was Corn Syrup (ugh!)

I think it was made by Carb Options. It tasted sweeter, like regular
peanut butter, so I doubt if it was all natural, since all natural
isn't very sweet. Dunno what they added to it to make it sweeter
though.

Try it with some type of tree nuts. Pecan butter is wonderfull.

I've looked in the store and various brands of peanut butter seem to
have the same carb counts. Some have peanuts and salt as the
only ingredients; others list sugar and so on. That's creepy. The
cheap brands must use the crappiest burnt out husks of peanuts
and then they have to fill in with sugar to take them up to what they
would have been if they had used good peanuts.

Make your own in a blender. Any type of nut. Run until your ears
hurt and that's the half way point.

Starch and/or rounding.

It's funny; when you do the math on some labels and compare them to
no-sugar varieties, you can tell they aren't adding much sugar at all
or the counts would be higher. It's like they have a compulsion:
Every product *must* have sugar!

That's the brand....I think it had splenda in it...so it wasn't natural.

I could not help but laugh when I read that they "finely grind select
peanuts". Hmm....I wonder how they selected the peanuts to grind? Doesn't
they mind want to know....

Well, you'd probably still enjoy it. Not being in love with it is a good
thing, though. 🙂

I'd guess with a large robotic scoop that "selects" them from the
incoming bin and deposits them in the grinder.

Any brand - The machine selects the dirt from the peanuts. Heck,
it even selects the shells from the nuts!

Jiff - The machine selects the crappiest dried out husks of so
called peanuts so they have to supplement with sugar.

Adams - The machine selects out the few crappiest dried out
light husks and only uses the nice heavy ones. So they don't
have to supplement with sugar.
