I love peanut butter!
Let me count the ways.
I honestly eat it
every. single. darn. day.
Unlike other condiments,
spread it on as you please.
Hold the mayo. Hold the ketchup.
But not the PB!
When I'm pregnant,
can't resist it. It's the one thing I crave.
I go through it like water.
Addicted? It's my fave.
What about when I'm training
for a long, long, long run?
Forget gu! Me want sandwich!
PB & J gets it done!
Full of protein, good fats, vitamins B3 & E,
Not to mention loads of fiber. That alone pleases me!
Magnesium, folate,
antioxidants, time to say it...woo hoo!
Guilt-free pleasure full 'o flavor.
I really heart it. Do you?
High in fat, so yes...
moderation is best.
A little goes a long way.
I eat too much, I'll attest.
Have to say, I have tried
ev'ry brand in the store.
A PB connoisseur.
An expert. Hard core!
I always go for "all-natural,"
don't like the trans fat
in hydrogenated oil.
'Nuff said about that!
As for brands, have some thoughts.
Don't mind if I share!
Adams Natural PB?
Not my favorite out there.
The taste? Sure...it's fine.
It just ends up real dry.
By the end, hard to spread.
Nope, just doesn't fly.
Skippy natural? Love the taste.
Prob'ly cuz they add sugar!
On that count alone,
have to pass, sugar boogars!
Kirkland brand found at Costco
is actually one of the best
It's organic, spreads great,
tastes superb, passed my test!
But my number one favorite
(let the drum roll begin)
is the Smart Balance Peanut Butter!
It win-win-win-wins!
Besides spreading well, being natural,
tasting great,
Omega 3's have me screaming,
Yep! They raise my heart rate!
Love this PB so much,
with you, want to share!
TO THE WINNER, I will send
a FREE 16 oz. jar!

Fill up a balloon?

Sure makes my face grin!

Do I get disqualified if my favorite place for peanut butter is with chocolate or in cookies?
Totally healthy. In bizarro world where I live.
You are so funny, Robyn! And quite a talented poet, too.
Robyn, Robyn, Robyn, you're cracking me up! My favorite thing to do with peanut butter is give it to Marci and make her make me some yummy peanut butter balls. . . oh the joy. . .the pleasure. . . the divinity!
I like to mix it in vanilla ice cream, with all kinds of other stuff. I also like it on celery. I don't like PB and J, but I luuuuuuv Reeses.... does that count? I also like to eat it right out of the jar. So do my kids, every one of them.
I'm a Reeces fan and a pb cookies fan, but just straight . . . . I'll leave that to you and Larry (Dad). I'll admit it's got to be pretty good for you.
I love, love, love peanut butter too. I just don't eat it as much because it's so fattening... it's one of the things I cut out a long time ago... boo! But, nothing beats a yummy smashed banana and peanut butter (mixed together first) sandwich!! I think I'll go have one right now!!
I love peanut butter too! Of course lately it goes into my chocolate smoothies;)...it is a really good entertainer for Sofia when I want her to stay in her chair for a few extra minutes to get other things done! I just put some on a spoon for her and she is completely sidetracked for atleast another 5 minutes licking that spoon.
P.S. I'll say it again...you are SOOO FUNNY and SOOO TALENTED!!! I love, love, love your poems, they're like reading a Dr. Suess book:)
Robyn,
you should definitely make that peanut butter poem into a childrens book! I am NOT joking. I can picure it now with illustrations of the creations and ways you used your peanut butter.
As a kid it was great with vanilla ice cream, and mixed with melted chocolate!
Now, to be a little healthier, instead of a PB sandwich, I put trader joes natural peanut butter on trader joe rice cakes. Mmmmm, Abby and I love them. I mix a little probiotic into Abby's.
I didn't know anyone else loved Peanut Butter as much as I do! My husband thinks I am weird! HI! I found you on a friends blog. I eat PB off the spoon, with jelly on bread, in cookies and with chocolate. If I have a plain chocolate bar, I pull out the PB and spread it on - YUM YUM!!
I also love PB. Unfortunately, I love it best with chocolate!
Hmmmmm, I love PB on toast, in my cookies, in granola bars, in my hair (courtesy of Brooks!), and ALWAYS with some chocolate! You are brilliant!
Can I pay you to write an amazing poem for me one day???!!
Very clever!!! You know you love peanut butter when you buy it even when there's a salmonella scare. I could probably live on peanut butter and cold cereal.
I made it sound like I eat peanut butter with cold cereal. Hmmmm...maybe I should try it.
Look Robyn! I'm here!
I definitely want to fill a balloon with peanut butter. Hahaha! I love your poem!
I'm a big fan of the Kirkland Signature PB too. My favorite. I dare you to choose me and make me switch to Smart Balance.
We go through gallons of PB a month at my house. I've never tried the natural kind, though I know it's better for you. Very informative post...I mean poem.
Hi Robin - its me - Tami's sis Bonnie - don't know if you remember me. Anyway, thought I would chime in - I make PB in our vitamix, but I grind up flax seeds with the PB to give it Omega 3s and its makes it a better consistency and better taste too.
Also - a shout out for a fellow fitness and nutrition blog that I have - www.beautifulafterthebelly.com
Your blog is pretty fun - I check it out every Sunday!
WHOOPS - I mean www.beautifulafterthebelly.blogspot.com
