Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Joe, What a great idea! I've practically given up peanut butter for the same reasons. How much VCO do you add? Do you add it to the whole jar or just to the portion you are eating. Thanks, > > I've alway's loved peanutbutter but I didn't want to consume > hydronated oil and refine sugars but " natural peanut butter " would > seperate and was dry.Now ,I add VCO to the natural peanut butter and a > few drops od stevia for sweetness.I think it's pretty good! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I make my own nut butter - I use mixed nuts, add some sea salt, coconut oil and coconut cream/paste for sweetness and to thicken. I decided to make it because of the trans fats and sugar in regular peanut butter and to have a way to use even more coconut oil. I don't measure, just dump some of the nuts into your blender/bullet machine with some oil, and the coconut cream - add more or less oil depending on the consistency you want. You can also do this using just peanuts or whatever your favorite nut is..many like almond butter, especially since peanuts are not good for thyroid.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I take my jar of natural peanut butter, use a spatula to scrape it out of the jar into a bowl. I take a whisk and mix it together real well, and put back in the jar. It never separates again. And isn't real dry on the bottom.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have made my own peanut butter by dry blending cold (refrigerated) raw peanuts until they literally became a paste. I then heated them and an equal amount of VCO and a little sea salt to about 110 deg F and blended until smooth. Then put in fridge to solidify. The texture allowed of easy spreading. Found if I put on warm toast that it melted significantly.Wonderful flavour. Cheers, Doug Re: peanut butter Hi Joe, What a great idea! I've practically given up peanut butter for the same reasons.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I start with a 1 lb of dry roasted peanuts that are blanched. I then place them in a Champion Juicer. The Champion has an attachment for grinding nut butters.I then remove part of the peanut oil and replace it with VCO. You can sweeten it a little if you like .honey or orange juice can be used . I use a little stevia since I'm a diabetic. You can also add a dash of salt. idobooks232 <idobooks@...> wrote: How do you make your peanut butter? What equipment and measurements do you use?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I make my " nut " butter with mixed or various nuts, add a little VCO, coconut cream for sweetness, which is basically ground coconut meat, a little sea salt and am good to go, just throw it all in the blender or whatever kitchen appliance you have for grinding/chopping.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 PB2 is the stuff you are looking for. It's not mixed with anything, it's dried PB. The oils and fat have been removed. It's GREAT stuff.On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 8:19 PM, Burson <burson.carrie@...> wrote: Hi all! Someone on here mentioned a new alternative for Peanut Butter, but I can't remember who it was or WHAT it was. Please help. I know there was mention of PB2 on OH board. Somewhere I saw a link to a place where you could order this " new " thing. It might have been a mixture of Peanut Butter and another flavor. I just remember great things were said. Any help would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi Bee and All, Phyllis A. here just back from a 2 week trip to Florida. This trip was challenging because my sister and her husband and there 2 year old son, my adorable nephew, eat everything out of a box or bag. I spent most of the vaca cooking. My sis works they have a beautiful home-top quality material things but food quality means very little--my nephew has a wart rash on his belly that has spread-Dr. call is mulluscum or something like that- he's had many antibiotics in his little life along with tubes in ears. I pray hard for them. Bee,I had a lot of time to read...Eat Fat, Lose Fat was great. Ok, I'm on your program 2 months now and progress is happening. I do not have a problem staying away from sugar and for that I feel blessed. However, I love peanut butter! In the back of the book, the 2 authors recommend 4 diff types. What do you think of this-is this possible after we are healed? Why would they give 4 choices if is is so toxic? Bee I trust your advice and I know you talk about peanuts and pistachios containing mold. Just looking for your thoughts. I allowed myself a cheat on my vaca and it was...pnut butter(one of their recommendations) Luv, Phyllis A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi, Phyllis. There is a sunbutter made solely of sunflower seeds (nothing added), & it tastes like peanut butter. However, the seeds are probably not soaked & dried prior to processing into butter. But I understand that sunflower seeds don't contain the mycotoxins as peanuts do, so maybe the sunbutter is less harmful than the peanut butter. I'm sure Bee will let us know. > <snip> However, I love peanut butter! In the back of the book, the 2 authors recommend 4 diff types. What do you think of this-is this possible after we are healed?
