Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / July 2007LC Icream: gone?
Well, not in my neck of the woods. My local store had stock of three flavors of the Breyers Carbsmart ice cream product and 3 flavors of their icecream bar products. Plenty of product in stock too. I have not been able to find any of that supposedly LC peanut butter lately, however. > Well, not in my neck of the woods.

It's all natural, ingredients are roasted peanuts and salt (no added oil or sugar of any sort). The brand name is Teddies, and it's carried in New England supermarkets. It's a little thicker than Trader Joes' all natural peanut butter; the latter is pretty runny, especially on warm LC toast.

My favorite are the Sugar Free Fudgesicles from popsicle but I can only find them in a multipack with sf Creamsicles and Popsicles. The creamsicles are good too but I wish I could find the fudgesicles seperately. It's called the Healthy Pack or something like that. I never messed with LC peanut butter, just get the natural stuff with no sugar. Peanuts are going to be a little carby no matter what. The ones I get are 4g (net) per 2 tbsp. i have 2 kinds in the fridge. Stop & Shop All Natural creamy Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp = 7g total carbs (3g = fiber) ingredients: peanuts, salt Teddie Super Chunky Old Fashioned Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp = 7g total carbs (3g = fiber) ingredients: roasted peanuts, salt both are from a local super market and they carry others. I am sure if you have Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fairway or a health food store there will be many choices I've always wanted to take my stick blender to some peanuts and make my own like in the infomercials but i am scared to burn out the motor! ::: Well, not in my neck of the woods.

I think the only differece in the supposely LC peanut butter is the lack of added sugar which you find in the regular brands. The product I mentioned was marketed as a LC peanut butter which basically meant that no sugar was added.....seems like that would make it a natural peanut butter, though it was not marketed that way. Some of the natural peanut butters in my local store are carbier than I'd like. Of course, there is almond butter, but it seems expensive by comparison. > ::: Well, not in my neck of the woods.

He says he doesn't like the natural kind (?!?) i wouldn't be surprised if other brands have trans fats, stabilizers, modifiers, and whatever chemicals to try to recreate plain old smashed peanuts. also - natural peanut butter should be refridgerated, this other stuff doesn't have to be. > Some of the natural peanut butters in my local store are carbier than I'd > like.

Yesterday I saw a bottle of CarbWell Steak Sauce in the supermarket. One of the first ingredients was Corn Syrup (ugh!) > natural peanut butter is just peanuts. true, this other jar of > peanut butter is 6g carbs, 2 g fiber and 3g sugar (where is that > other carb??)

It's funny; when you do the math on some labels and compare them to no-sugar varieties, you can tell they aren't adding much sugar at all or the counts would be higher. It's like they have a compulsion: Every product *must* have sugar!

I think it was made by Carb Options. It tasted sweeter, like regular peanut butter, so I doubt if it was all natural, since all natural isn't very sweet. Dunno what they added to it to make it sweeter though. Cheri :: Roger Zoul wrote in message <13a9d2ap91fb7bc@news.supernews.com>... :: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] :: isn't very sweet.

Try it with some type of tree nuts. Pecan butter is wonderfull. > I think the only differece in the supposely LC peanut butter is the lack of > added sugar which you find in the regular brands.

I've looked in the store and various brands of peanut butter seem to have the same carb counts. Some have peanuts and salt as the only ingredients; others list sugar and so on. That's creepy. The cheap brands must use the crappiest burnt out husks of peanuts and then they have to fill in with sugar to take them up to what they would have been if they had used good peanuts. > Some of the natural peanut butters in my local store are carbier than I'd > like.

Run until your ears hurt and that's the half way point. > Well, not in my neck of the woods.

Doesn't they mind want to know.... I'd guess with a large robotic scoop that "selects" them from the incoming bin and deposits them in the grinder.

Any brand - The machine selects the dirt from the peanuts. Heck, it even selects the shells from the nuts! Jiff - The machine selects the crappiest dried out husks of so called peanuts so they have to supplement with sugar. Adams - The machine selects out the few crappiest dried out light husks and only uses the nice heavy ones. So they don't have to supplement with sugar. ;^) |
