Get yourself acquainted

If you love peanut butter, as I do, you will love me for sharing this little secret with you! They make natural peanut butter! I know, you can't believe it, but it is true! The ingredients are simply, peanuts. No sugars added. For this reason you should be excited, some good natural clean protein you can add to your diet. I know you are excited and all, but I have even more great news (must be your lucky day). They make almond butter, sunflower butter, and all sorts of other kinds of nut butters. They are easy to find, they're in the peanut butter section.

Good for you

So you're now thinking, duh, what is this dumb girl talking about, of course natural peanut butter is in the peanut butter aisle. Well, I simply want to make a point that this stuff exists! I mean, I have lived for 23 years and never knew about this stuff. I've scanned the peanut butter selections many a time, but I never knew the facts about this stuff, as a lot of peanut butters say natural, but aren't really natural. Take for example the photo below. It claims to be natural, but the ingredients include more than just peanuts. It has sugar and all sorts of other nasty things no one can pronounce. My advice, read labels! Also, another quick tip, if sugar is listed as one of the first four ingredients on the label, it is probably best to shy away from it. Ingredients are listed by the weight of the ingredient in the food - so if sugar is listed first, it's probably going to have more sugar than anything else in it.

Not so good for you
