I personally prefer the Whole Earth stuff, but this is a cracking price! Hot!

10 Jul 161#15
The whole earth isn't pure peanut butter though, especially cause they use palm oil. This is much better imo.

[quote=heatherlaurie98]best peanut butter u can buy thank you op
I've not tried this brand before. What is it that makes it stand out from the usual brands ............. say Sun-Pat?
konkywonky to surreykw
10 Jul 16#18
Meridian is 100% peanuts with no added ingredients, Sun Pat is 94% peanuts with added sugar, salt, oil and stabilisers

Never tried it TBH, I rarely eat peanut butter due to the calorie content but like the odd dollop in a smoothy so will buy a jar for that purpose :smiley:

Let's hope it is actually on offer (everywhere) unlike the fruit juice at Asda.....
I tried the smooth one by mistake a few weeks ago and it's terrible compared to the crunchy one. Too runny and I couldn't really tell what I was eating.

This or Sunpat?

Sunpat has a sugar free one which has a darker roast on the peanuts and is less oily, but not at this price! (darker=tastier)

Thanks OP, my local Tesco Extra was clearing out the 1kg tub's for £2.74 the other day so worth checking the sports/health food section if they have one (not in the normal preserves aisle).
Personally I think so, but most people prefer the pure peanut stuff.
One thing for me in favour of the unhealthy stuff with oil and sugars, is that I like to eat peanut butter by the spoonful sometimes (don't judge pls) - the pure peanut stuff like Meridian is really bad for this.

11 Jul 16#37
Try both. Only you can decide.
hindsight1
11 Jul 161#38
Great price.
As an alternative I have been very happy with the peanut butter (and cashew butter, although more expensive) from Bulkpowders. Less than £5 for a kilo. Plus, they have 25%/30% discounts almost every week (30% right now). Postage is about £4, though, I believe, if you order under £50 (I always order more).

11 Jul 16#39
Sunpat has stabilisers and sugar in there and also mixes peanuts with peanut oil. Process hell for a product that should have one ingredient only.
Once you go 100% peanut, you do not go back.

would like to try that. but whilst this is £1 it would be rude not too. anyone seen it in express stores or just large ones?

For those that havent tried this stuff, you might be put off at first. I remember my throat nearly closed over after trying a big dollop for the first time, true story
After that I just had a small amount at a time, its lovely, wouldnt go back to the processed garbage

Blend the following
- Generous tablespoon of this stuff
- 2 ripe banas
- 400ml Milk
- Sugar to taste (optional)
= Amazing healthy milkshake

Just the peanut butter reduced unfortunately, it's showing online now. Shame they didn't reduce the almond or cashew butter but i'll grab a few jars of the PB for sure, £3.57 a kilo is a great deal.

Stick a tablespoon of this in your porridge and a scoop of Whey Protein and you have a blinding bulk breakfast!

So do eat it that way I and I buy the Meridian Organic version by the Kilo bucket,Its the only brand I buy.
Also great on toast with a smear of Ginger preserve on top.

Thanks, tasty and one of the very few that does not contain sugar or palm oil. Whole earth is Sustainable Palm Oil but still tastes greasy and upsets my gut.

Only ever buy Sunpat smooth. I tried Tesco own brand once and threw it away. As others on this site have said this Meridian is good, I will look for it this week to give it a try.
Cover me in peanut butter. Bite my bum. I love it!

Anyone managed to get any in shop ?

I've never tried this but at this price I'll give it a go. Though it looks like they roast the nuts with the skin on and then blend that which I personally think gives it a very burnt flavour.
I agree with the recommendation for the peanut butter from bulk powders or the protein works http://www.theproteinworks.com/peanut-butter. They are 100% peanuts and taste oh so nice! I can even have it on its own :smiley:

Depends on your definition of healthy I suppose, that little lot will come in at over 500 cals even without adding sugar

There are "good" calories and "bad" calories.
I don't count calories, nor do I take them seriously.

Ditch the sugar, add a good spoonful of Total 0% fat Greek Yogurt - I also add a spoonful of cold-pressed linseeds - and you have a wonderful smoothie for a great breakfast!
Thanks OP, I stock up whenever this is on offer. Far and away the best PB available. I think Sunpat is repulsive and hate Whole Earth for offering their product either with or without palm oil. If it CAN be made without, why still sell it with palm oil??
I normally prefer crunchy PB but Meridian's new Peanut and Coconut Butter is really nice stirred into Madagascan Vanilla ice cream... indulgence and not a healthy dessert. The crunchy one is great for krispie cakes, melt a spoonful gently with white chocolate and stir in cornflakes or rice krispies, dollop into cupcake cases and leave in a cool place to set.
I do have the smoothie for breakfast every work day, the other ideas are strictly occasional treats...!

12 Jul 16#72
Although I agree about ditching the sugar, I would also recommend ditching anything 0% fat / fat free. Natural fats are good for you and along with anything else in natural foods, they are an excellent edition to a balanced diet.
