only SOME peanut butter is healthy. the peanut butter we have at our house only has two ingredients: peanut butter and salt. but some peanut butters have sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and a bunch of other crap. make sure yours is healthy before you start thinking you're making a healthy snack. you could eat peanut butter with celery, an apple, a banana, or on whole wheat toast. peanut butter is good on a lot of things! :) i love it. but it IS fattening even though its healthy so i never eat too much.
Very healthy, yes! Good source of protein and healthy fats, and it's very filling. Try it on celery.
the all natural peanut butter like Laura Scuddrers, etc. are very healthy, the list of ingredient is peanuts that's it...peanuts provide healthy fats, but the cals add up quickly so watch the serving size.
Commercially raised peanuts are one of the most sprayed crops when it comes to pesticides. So I buy organic peanut butter for my son, since he eats peanut butter almost everyday.
I fill a stalk of celery with peanut butter for a snack.
If you are interested in which are the most/least sprayed foods, I have posted a page on my website at

Good luck and good health!
Smuckers All natural. look for the no stir...if you get the one that has the oil on top, you have to stir it in everytime you want some PB.
