I wouldn't know for sure, but I wouldn't look at this kind of product solely by the caloric numbers it provides. It's very low in sugar and carbs and that is most important. Calories from peanut butter oil is considered good for the most part--you just don't want to go overboard (like anything else)

I would write directly to Smuckers. I imagine that when you get to the bottom of the PB, it will be pretty dried out; I always mix the oil in, each use.

I just mix mine with coconut oil. Use a double boiler to melt, mix, and put it in the fridge until a consistency like pudding but a little denser. Mix with a beater and it will be extra fluffy!

In many breads that I do use fats I use any combination of oil and butter all the way up to 1 Tablespoon per cup of flour. So absolutely feel free to use oil with or instead of butter.

Make sure the butter is very soft when you put it in the top and that the entire surface area that you are using is smeared. I just use one cube of butter. Only 2 little pieces dropped off. You will end up using less butter than before; all the flavor with less work and fewer calories.

Sorry, I haven't had that experience. Could it be the fat content in your ingredients?

I think that means as mixed. I just mix it as it says per the instructions.

I have made the bread using the mix exactly as recommended, but never found it oily. It is, to my taste, no different than the many regular bread recipes I have used over the years. My one big mistake has been to over-proof it, an unforgiveable gaff which ruins an otherwise good bread. All that said, I can't think of a reason not to try it with less oil.

Hello, I use hot water and mix until it has the consistency of a thick pudding. I also put a little oil in the mixture as it may make your hair a bit dry. Putting some coconut oil or oil of your choice in the mixture puts a nice addition for your hair. I let my mixture sit for about an hour or so to make for sure that all of the lumps will be dissolved. You can apply this on wet or dry hair and you want to make for sure that you totally cover each strand with the mixture. I put this on my hair and let it sit for about an hour or so after which I keep rinsing to make for sure it is all out. No matter how much you rinse it seems not to completely come out so I shampoo my hair after the rinse and than I will use a hair conditioner on my hair for some minutes. The next day to make for sure all is out of my hair I wash again to make for sure the grit is all gone and I condition again. I find for me this helps. The product is really nice and I love the color. I hope this helps you.

It says to fill up to this line....and that's what I do...sometimes I have to add oil, and sometimes not... but I keep it full to the line...(I use coconut oil and It's wonderful!)...great taste!

I'm not really sure. I just mix it with a shake. But I can do that with the liquid too. Maybe the servings.

you could use it but it might be alittle messy trying to clean it later.with the oil you can leave it in there and reuse it again.i only use corn oil and canola oil so i really don't know much about the solid fats.

Hello Joani. I mix it with almond oil but I suppose that any food grade oil would do.

If its the same as ours, the popcorn & oil are packaged together, and you use one set per batch. If not, the basic "recipe" is 2 tbsp. oil and 1/2 cup popcorn. Put salt on AFTER popping, whether or not you add melted butter. For some different great tastes, use flavored oils, or put some herbs in with the oil; try seasoned salt; a little curry powder; black pepper with your salt. Great stuff.

Two grams of saturated fat isn't high in my book, you need a little bit of fat in your diet. They don't sacrifice flavor. That's probably why it's "so high" it's not bland or chalky like ON or Muscle Milk.

Heck, I don't know. I just use a scoop full and don't worry about it. I add so many other things: greens, banana, seeds, nuts, blend it all up in my Vitamix and drink it. It is delicious!!!!!

I never tried this mixture and you can only experiment to find out what you prefer. However, the powder mix is already a SuperFood which compensates for the nutrients you are losing on a daily basis. For example, the food pyramid tells us to eat certain amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains , etc thru-out the day, but with Greens Plus it gives you that well balance in just one glass! You mix it with water. You can be creative and add a banana or another of your favorite fruit. For myself, I choose not to add SuperFood, something that is already potent with nutrional value, to a cooked food which will take away that value. Ask yourself, what is it that I want to accomplish? If you decide to use the Super Food - Greens Plus you will begin to see how great you feel, aches & pains begin to diminish (a little). Cooked food takes away ALL NUTRIENTS which the body needs. Read up on the ingredients and decide. Hope this was helpful and let me know how it works out for you. Oh by the way, I am not a doctor nor am I a nutrionist. Just one who have been using the product for some time and it made me a believer. Watch the documentary video "Fat Sick & Nearly Dead" this is where I first learned of Greens Plus.
