Jif Simply Jif —

Yes I have tried natural peanut butters, but the one I tried didn't taste like Jif peanut butter with it's real roasted peanut taste. The natural peanut butter I had tasted like burnt peanuts. Simply Jif tastes like fresh roasted peanuts and it still as all the great taste as the regular Jif, but 33% less sugar and low in sodium. Calories are still a bit high at 190 per two Tbsp. Fat Cal. 130 (I love thick peanut butter sandwiches on high fiber/flax seed bread so I will have to cut it down a bit). The Carbs are 6 grams with 2 two grams of fiber that brings down the carbs to 4 grams for the carbs. 65 mg of Sodium, protein 8 grams, and sugar 2 grams.

I want to eat heathier, but I won't give up my Jif taste. It's strange that my natural Smucker's peanut butter didn't taste as good as Jif because Jif is made by Smucker's.

Simply Jif is great on crackers, veggies, healthy bread or just from the spoon. Yeah now we are talking :)

I did, I must have bought a bad jar...tasted burnt lol. I just have a strange luck that way lol.

If you want AWESOME pb, try smuckers natural. No sugar, no junk just peanuts and a little salt. Nothing partially hydrogenated. Really healthy and good for you. I can't stomach Skippy or Jif or Peter Pan -- not after eathing "real" pb. Of course, it's a little strain on the wallet, but well worth it!

I can't tell the difference between simply Jif and regular Jif so that is a plus!

I agree with you on the jif taste, This is our favorite brand, and best ever to bake with :)) This I may have to try :))

Peanut butter? To quote that great philosopher, Daryl Hall, "I can't go for that nooooo. no can do. I can't go for that, can't go for that....." Good job, though!

and dipped in chocolate isn't to bad either lol

A spoon of peanut butter is a good way to relax! ;)

I grew up on Peter Pan and would go over to the neighbors and stick around for lunch because they had Jif...I move out and now my Mom eats Jif...tough love lol
