KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:I’m going to have to give it a shot. I used to make smoothies with fresh ground peanut butter, a banana, and a bit of unsweetened almond milk; I ended up switching back to “natural” skippy or jif when money got tight and, somehow, it just wasn’t the same. I may just go back to grinding my own again though. Raw tahini (not tahini salad!) is not expensive and goes great in shakes and smoothies.

Ziv Zulander posted:It’s extremely possible to get no sugar added peanut butter here in the states, even smuckers sells it now. You can also grind your own peanut butter in most grocery stores these days Smuckers has sold it for at least 30 years because that's what my parents started buying when I was in elementary school. It's good, it actually tastes like roasted peanuts instead of Reese's. The local coop grocery store also has a peanut mill so you can get peanuts straight from the bulk bin and grind them into butter, it comes out like thick soft serve. You have to add your own salt, but that's easy.

Ror posted:On one hand our society has totally hosed up our relationship to sugar both nutritionally and as a taste component, but on the other… sugar is really loving great to eat. In a blind taste test something with a little sugar will probably taste better as long as it’s not making the food noticeably sweeter. Yeah, there was a time when I was mad about sugar and cut it out of everything I cooked and I couldn't figure out why my Japanese and Korean food didn't taste right. Then I experimented with putting the sugar back in--just a little bit, not the insane amounts some Korean food uses--and everything clicked. It doesn't make it sweet, but a bit of sugar can be a flavor enhancer the same way salt and MSG are and it's noticeable when you leave it out.

FFT posted:It's technically not a liquid. Though I'd be intrigued to see someone consume 12 oz / 350ml of peanut butter in a sitting. This guy I went to college with did this one day at lunch. I don't think he ate peanut butter for the rest of the year.

They're fine, as long as you add a lot of fruit, and milk, and then eat them before they turn entirely into porridge. Or you turn them into porridge, either way. Not as bad as All Bran.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Had to look it up. Yes that is a hockey puck of hard wheat. They call it cereal lmao We have very similar in Australia - Weet-Bix. People will boast about how many they eat per day, with big lads pushing into double digits. They're always submerged in milk and sugar, sometimes in an alarmingly close ratio. They soften up over time and fall apart, forming something more like porridge. So if you want them crunchy, you have the option to eat them sooner. It's not bad. They're definitely more filling than other cereals. Some of my older relatives would smash through a serving before and after a big morning of surfing. A classic challenge is to eat one dry, which is challenging but not as difficult as people pretend. There's also variants of smaller chunks with "fruit" embedded which are pretty snacky and nice.

Weirdly, my Kiwi husband loves Weet-Bix but hates Weetabix. My Yankee rear end can't see much of a difference, if any. (He's also particular about NZ Marmite vs. English Marmite vs. Vegemite vs. Our Mate, etc., but that feels like more of a given.)

Weetabix are an atrocious food. As noted they're either hard as the hobs of hell or they dissolve into slurry, you have about 30s to eat it and also it tastes like poo poo.

So it's not quite the same as Shredded Wheat? n.b. I grew up with "spoon size Shredded Wheat" and assumed that was the normal form it took until some point around college age when I encountered  regular size Shredded Wheat in the giant pillow-sized biscuits and was like what the fuuuuuuuuuu e: and then they introduced sixteen different types of "frosted" and "cinnamon" and "sugar bomb" and "gingerbread house" and "blueberry birthday cake" and "ice cream sundae" and whatever other forms they discovered were necessary to get kids to eat them I guess Data Graham has a new favorite as of 13:11 on May 1, 2023 |

Yeah no shredded wheat are tasty, weetabix are the food equivalent of brillo pads. Actually pretty good if you're sick and have a gummy throat, they scrape that poo poo right out.

uber_stoat posted:the recipe doesn't specify what kind to use but this is Jif "natural creamy peanut butter." which i regard as a basic big PB brand. you can get the kind that specifically has no added sugar though. I've been using a calorie tracking app and peanut butter is something I track a lot. I grabbed the jar of peanut butter in the cupboard which as the same ingredients except for no added sugar or molasses. Comparing by 100g: this/mine Total Fat: 48g / 54.3g Saturated Fat: 10.5g / 7.9g Carbs: 24g / 7.4g Natural sugar: 6g / 3.8g Added sugar: 6g / 0g Fibre: 9g / 6.7g Protein: 21g / 27.7g Salt: 0.24g / 1.0g It's weird that something made of basically 2 ingredients could have so much variance. But the thing that caught my eye was the calories. Mine is a fancy brand that was recommended as the healthiest choice, but has 643 kcal per 100g compared to 570 for this. IANA food scientist but something seems off. Also what dumb nutritional information doesn't use 100g/ml for everything to enable comparison?

Interesting, here's my roasted peanut butter (100% peanuts, nothing else), everything per 100g: Energy: 597 kcal Fat: 50g (Saturated Fats: 6.8g) Carbs: 7g (Sugar: 3.6g) Fibre: 9.9g Protein: 30g Salt: 0.02g I'd assume you'll see a bunch of variation depending on origin and type, but I'm not ready for a deep dive into different types of peanut plant and where they are grown…

It is entirely intentional - they do not want people to be able to make such comparisons easy  Edit: I really don't want to get into a "here in glorious Europe we have everything so much better" argument, but it is one of the very useful laws from the EU that nutritional information has to be based off a fixed amount, usually 100g/ml The US system of guessing a "serving size" that make the metrics look good is (gasp) pretty dishonest.

Sugar will cut the calorie density of anything fatty so either buttercream frosting is a health food or nutrition is complicated.
