I’m super high watching this while eating a full jar of crunchy peanut butter. Life is good.

I eat organic peanut butter and it tastes better than the regular, has no added sugar, but is kind of fatty. I only eat it once a day, but also train and eat an all natural diet. The fat doesn't pile on this way, but without this kind of peanut butter I wouldn't be getting enough fats (I tend to be hungry all afternoon if I don't eat any).

One of the healthiest peanut butters is Kirkland Organic Creamy Peanut Butter sold at Costco.

I completely crossed the border with the peanut butter as I demolished a the jar, not feeling too lousy from the Omega 6's which is surprising! Not recommended to anyone must be a lucky day. Room for improvement 😎

Cool video. So how long can stay fresh home made peanut butter if I will store it in vacuum storege box? week? 2 weeks?

I had bad candida (fungal/yeast overgrowth) Peanuts can have mold but can you get unmoldy ones? not sure, mold keeps on growing inside you so i am too scared now to eat it.

So it’s okay for me to have two whole wheat whole grain slices of toast with one table spoon of peanut butter each every day? Because I do but idk if it’s healthy, should I stop?
