Why the Natty PB with the Casein

[gbrice75]

There is little to no difference between natural peanut butter and say, JIF peanut butter. Some companies may have slightly higher sugar in their non natural peanut butter.

With all due respect, I completely disagree. Read the ingredients on natural PB. I don't know about yours, but mine says: Roasted Peanuts, Sea Salt. Now read the ingredients on Skippy, Jif, etc. - you're going to see a bunch of other crap in there. The difference is minimillay processed vs. highly processed, aside from the MUCH higher sugar content.

Q:Is there a huge difference between regular peanut butter and natural peanut butter?

A:Peanut butter today is remarkably like that made 100 years ago. All peanut butter must, by law, contain a minimum of 90% peanuts. Both natural and regular peanut butters may contain some sugar and salt for flavoring. Some brands also contain a small amount of stabilizer (partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) to keep the oil from separating, which most consumers prefer. This also helps maintain peanut butter freshness.

See bold. To the OP - are you using Optimum Nutrition Casein? It's the greatest! I've had the chocolate and vanilla; if that is the brand you're using, just wait until you try the vanilla!

GBrice - Nothing wrong with disagreeing. However I am yet to see any evidence indicating that Peanut butter with stablization is processed differently then natural peanutbutter.

I've had both those flavors, my favorite is the cookies n cream by far.


OP, you mixing it with water or milk? I'm going to start throwing in some natty pb, i've been drinking 2 scoops with 2 cups milk.

Yup that's the stuff! I think they are trying to fake us out. It's actually candy ground into a powder.
