If you adore peanut butter and are following the Weight Watchers plan you will love this list of over 20 of the Best Peanut Butter options for Weight Watchers.
Whether you follow the WW Points Plan or you are still sticking to one of the older plans (such as SmartPoints), you are sure to find a WW friendly Peanut Butter here!
Anyone who follows the Weight Watchers program but hankers after peanut butter will remember the disappointment of discovering just how many Points there are in a single serving of delicious creamy (or crunchy!) yummy peanut butter.
Urgh! I was so disappointed!
How could a tablespoon be quite so many Points!
And to think that prior to following the WW program, I used to mindlessly eat it out of the jar with a spoon 😀
Powdered Peanut Butters & Weight Watchers
When I began following the Weight Watchers plan many years ago, powdered peanut butter wasn't really a thing! You had to search far and wide to find it or you had to order it off specialist protein websites.
Things have changed and it is now quite commonplace - you can buy some of the bigger brands in food stores like Walmart & Target and many 'health food stores' now stock a wide range of brands.
And the good news is that powdered peanut butters work out relatively low in Points.
To make up the powders into a spreadable butter you are usually instructed to mix with a small amount of water until you reach the desired consistency.
However, I have heard that some people prefer to mix it with zero fat natural yogurt for a more creamy consistency.
Others add a little sweetener or honey for sweetness or a little salt to add a bit more depth.
Why not experiment and find a way that suits your taste best!
Of course some people just don't like the powdered peanut butters and yearn for a lower point peanut butter spread.
Traditional Peanut Butters & Weight Watchers
Unfortunately, traditional peanut butters are much higher in Points than the powdered varieties.
I have listed a number of spreads below that range from 5 Points per 2 tablespoons to 7 Points per 2 tablespoons.
Some of them are flavored, some of them are 'plain', some are crunchy and some are smooth.
All are delicious!
How I worked out the Points
I worked out the Points for each of these peanut butters in the Best Peanut Butters for Weight Watchers by inputting the nutritional information into the official WW calculator.
The Points are correct at the times of updating (January 2024)

They are also available to buy from Amazon.

However, there are a few that work out at 2 SmartPoints for 2 tablespoons.

Peanut Butter Spreads | 5 SmartPoints
I have found a couple of Peanut Butter Spreads that work out at 5 SmartPoints for 2 tablespoons.
Unfortunately, at the time of writing this it looks like Jif have discontinued their very popular whipped peanut butter .... hey, don't shoot the messenger!
However, these 2 brands do have a lower SmartPoint value than the majority of other peanut butter spreads currently available.
Peter Pan Whipped Creamy Peanut Butter works out at 5 SmartPoints per 2 tbsp (24g). This is a couple of SmartPoints less than the Peter Pan non whipped variety so is a good option if you're not keen on the powdered peanut butters but are looking for a lower point PB. It is available from some food stores such as Walmart, from the Peter Pan website or from Amazon.
The Nuts 'N More brand is fast becoming popular with people following the WW plan. As well as developing this peanut spread which works out at 5 SmartPoints for 2 tbsp (33g) they have developed a number of tasty flavored peanut butter spreads (see more flavors below!). This plain peanut butter is available to buy on the Nuts 'N More website and also from Amazon.
Peanut Butter Spreads | 6 SmartPoints
Generally speaking, most peanut butter spreads work out at 6 SmartPoints per 2 tablespoons.
Serving sizes on the tubs tend to be per 2 tablespoons (32g - 33g) so this is why I have shown the SmartPoint values for 2 tablespoons.
On some of the brands I have also included the SmartPoint value for a 1 tablespoon serving.
On the brands that I haven't given the value for a 1 tablespoon serving I'd suggest that you check on your WW app before assuming that 1 tablespoon would be half the SmartPoints of 2 tablespoons!
