I happened upon a grocery store called "Trader Joe's" while visiting my son in Annapolis last year. They have a peanut butter that is awesome! It has flax seeds in it andit is only 2 g net carbs per 2 T. Here is a link you can use to see it: http://www.traderjoesfan.com/Trader_Joes/valencia_peanut_butter_with_roasted_flaxseeds/details/

Your carb counts sound high for 2 tablespoons.Doug mixes Smuckers Natural peanut butter 50-50 with beanit butter because the beanit butter is too sweet for him.Peter Pan is 3 carbs for 2 tablespoons and Jif is a 4 carbs. Smuckers Natural is 4 carbs for 2 tablespoons but by cuttting it with the Beanit butter its a 2 carbs per 2 tablespoons.Beanit Butter is a 0 carb product.I guess if you don't  eat alot its no big deal but I eat alot of beanit butter. ;)

I thought they were high as well Umpa.  I have jars at home but when you check on-line they seem to say something totally different??  Mixing is the only way I can eat the beanit butter... I think Doug is right.  Maybe it is too sweet

Here is something I didn't know though..... the Jiff natural has more sugar in it....better choice is the Simply Jif  :)

It's 4 net carbs per 2 TBSP, Jo. :)

Owensmath's option is a better choice.
Using flaxseeds helps hold down the carbs.

Hmmmm... I wonder if flaxseeds could be added to other peanut butters to lower the carbs (by volume)?
I have some in the pantry... I guess it's time for another experiment! ;D

the answer is yes because you would be eating less peanut butter ;)

Oh wow, what a great idea. I have flax seeds, flax meal & Trader Joe's is only 8 blocks away from my house!

Hey Susie - u cant buy that peanut butter right now.  They pullled it off the shelf when the Valencia recall hit.  Its my favorite so I hope it comes back soon.....
