Jif Natural Peanut Butter Spread is the latest entry into "natural" peanut butter. Now, I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of "natural" peanut butter. I know, I know so! much! junk! I just am who I am.

But, I was willing to try it out because I do like peanut butter a lot.

This is a peanut butter "spread" since it contains 10% non-peanut ingredients (I think that's the definition). I like the fact that is doesn't separate like some natural peanut butter does, but I did give it a quick stir as it is a little shiny on top, but it's not a show stopper for me. It's got 50% less sodium than regular peanut butter.

You know what?

I liked it! (Hey, Mikey...I just showed my age, didn't I?)

It's got a great peanut taste without the weird (to me) consistency of natural peanut butter. The kids took to it right away and get it out of the pantry first, now.

We'll buy this again.

We also got the chance to check out Jif To Go Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread

It comes in convenient 2.5 oz. individual servings and contains eight less grams of fat than the regular Jif to Go and it has eight grams of protein per serving. These are great for lunchboxes or road trips as part of a healthy snack.

We all liked these, too. It's got a smooth, but not too heavy texture and a good, nutty taste and we'll be keeping some of these on hand (and away from teen boy who can't resist the siren song of the individual container and will eat 3-4 of anything at a time).
