Sugar butter: After peanuts, sugar is the most common ingredient in store-bought peanut butter. Nuts are a great source of protein but the added sugar is empty calories. Try making your own using unsalted nuts and a food processor. You'll have to refrigerate it since it won't have any preservatives. Trust me, it's delicious and good for you too.

"Natural' varieties have less sugar. These butters are high calorie
