Is there anything that can be done to make natural peanut butter taste better? I just don't like the taste at all! Can I add some splenda or something?

Prima5,

Hi! The first time I bought natural peanut butter, I felt the same way. I bought a store brand and it tasted like paste! I threw it away. Weeks later I decided to try it again. At the advice of ladies on this board, I bought Smuckers brand. Much better. What I didn't notice the first time around is that it is supposed to be stirred and then refrigerated. Now when I take it out, it doesn't require stirring and it is well blended and tasty.

And to answer your question, if you still need it, yes, you CAN add Splenda!

I checked and this one does have salt. I'm going to try mixing just a little splenda with 2 tbs. of the peanut butter and see if that helps and after this jar, I'm getting the Smuckers! LOL

I guess you could add some splenda. I just LOVE the natural pnut butter, though. I don't know if I just got "used" to the taste or what. However, I don't ever remember NOT liking it.

Try some splenda, though---maybe that will do it for you. I know there's also a "texture" difference with the natural stuff...a lot thicker.

Good luck,

Lori

I have the Smucker's, and it's totally gross. There's a receipe on the top of the jar for peanut sauce, and I've used it with stir fry. It's not too bad, but I put Splenda in instead of the sugar it calls for. I just don't eat peanut butter any more because I hate the all natural stuff!

HEHE

I must be weird...I love the natural stuff...I buy "Just Peanuts" peanut butter - crunchy.

No salt or sugar added and i love it. Crunchy is definately prefered, but i even like the smooth....

But then, i have never really had muchof a sweet tooth - although i love the SF FF Fudsicles now ! hehe

So, why is it that we can't have the regular peanut butter? LOL I just can't get used to the natural stuff but I guess if I have to! Can we go back to the regular peanut butter in phase 2 at least?

Regular peanut butter is high in sugar, and is not on the foods

to enjoy list for P1 OR P2.

Well, I just added some Splenda to a tbs to see if I liked it and it did the trick! Now I can enjoy it! LOL
