So, you purchase a jar of all-natural peanut butter. You open it up and see a thick layer of oozing oil settled on the top. You grab a spoon and begin stirring and stirring. And stirring. It really takes a lot of elbow grease before that peanut butter gets to an edible state. If this sounds like a recent annoyance for you, then skip the basic natural butters the next time you’re shopping. Enter the world of no stir peanut butter spreads. Different from just plain peanut butter, spreads often have a few special added ingredients (that are still good for you). This will allow you to open up jars and start munching away immediately. Step right up and read about our favorite, no-hassle peanut butter spreads!

If you have a peanut allergy in your home, or you’re just trying to avoid common allergens in your diet, then you may have come across quite a few different peanut butter alternatives. Some are definitely more affordable than others. If you’ve yet to try sunflower butter, put it on your list to try next. Sunflower butter is free from the top eight food allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, and soy). It’s also vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. It’s suitable for a range of diets and pretty tasty, too. Additionally, it’s not as expensive as some other peanut butter alternatives. If you’re interested in trying a sunflower butter, check out our top three picks below.

There are few snacks or condiments as beloved as peanut butter. We love it smothered between two slices of bread with a dollop of jelly. We enjoy it with fruit and veggie sticks.

Swap out your tired pantry staple for a new and improved organic peanut butter blend with fewer and healthier ingredients. Your body will thank you and your taste buds will, too.

If you’re in the market for a juicer, then you’ve likely come across two different types of juicers — centrifugal and masticating. A centrifugal juicer has one blade, and it essentially just blends up your ingredients with a slicing and dicing motion that results in a very basic juice. It leaves behind a lot of edible, nutritious waste. A masticating juicer grinds up those ingredients with gears. The motion is similar to the way the human mouth chews (hence the term “masticating”). Masticating juicers are known to produce less waste and to produce juices that are more nutrient-rich. They’re also significantly more expensive, but the health benefits are worth it, we feel. Looking for a masticating juicer on Amazon? Here are our top four picks.

Plus, you don’t even need to spend hours sweating over the oven in the kitchen to have delicious cookies handy at just about any time. These cookie packs are perfect for taking on the go, and they come in some delicious flavors. Throw them in a backpack or purse. Tuck them in your lunch box. Store a few in the glovebox.

If you’ve never tried cacao nibs before, don’t get them confused with chocolate chips. They’re very, very different things. While chocolate chips are sweet, yummy, and best for baking, with no nutritional content, cacao nibs are on the bitter and nutty side. They’re even crunchy and come with a range of health benefits. They provide energy, antioxidants, fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. And while you can add cacao nibs to many of the same items you would chocolate chips — baked good, granola bars, or trail mix — the uses go much further. Cacao nibs find an easy home in cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, and more. Interested in trying this one-of-a-kind snack food and ingredient? Already addicted to these treats and looking for the best?

Pressure cookers come with a variety of helpful uses. The airtight container puts food under (as you might guess) a lot of pressure, cooking it extremely quickly. It also ensures food retains moisture and creates a sanitary cooking environment.

If you’ve been thinking of purchasing a pressure cooker and aren’t sure where to start, take a look at these four options and what they can offer you. We’re offering them up as our top picks.
