Wow, you haven't heard about the dangers of unfermented soy products?

Wow, your kids school isn't nut-free? We can't bring in peanut butter, so instead we do soy nut butter...

there are no stir brands of peanut butter out there-good consistency and less sugar, I'm surprised you haven't considered a different brand??

I highly recommend Whole Foods 365 brand organic creamy peanut butter - unsweetened. It is delicious, natural, and it's not oily like some of the other natural butters. Very easy to spread - similar in texture to Jiff etc.

My son's nutritionist recommended Smart Balance Peanut butter.

Smart Balance PB tastes like fish.
1. refrigerate Crazy Richards PB - it spreads a lot better that way.
2. There is absolutely no reason to feed sugar-choked PB to children. The jelly is already pure sugar.
3. a PP said to pour the oil off - that doesn;t work with Crazy Richards, but it works with some other brands.

Pick your battles. Is peanut butter really that big of a deal?

He makes the kids' school lunches every day. He wants to use a name brand like Jif.

I insist he use Crazy Richards, which is peanuts and oil ONLY. He says it pours like water, even after you stir it and he refuses to use it and the kids don't eat it, so why bother.
Anyone have a suggestion for a happy medium?
try costco organic

Personally, I would pick my battles and let dh have his choice of peanut butter. If my dh ever made a lunch, I think I'd fall over in shock

use the natural and let it separate. Pour off some of the oil and then re-mix. THat will make it thicker.
but if the kids won't eat it, nope, don't bother.

Can you mix them together? Half the sugar that way

Maybe you could compromise with the Smart Balance brand of PB - it does contain sugar but the ingredient label isn't too bad (mostly peanuts and oil). Plus it's very spreadable and much creamier than Crazy Richard-type brands.

I agree with your husband. If it doesn't travel well in the lunch box and the kids won't eat it, what is the point? I would stick to the standard peanut butter and cut your sugar elsewhere.
