Peanut butter is one of our staple spreads at home and is always in our grocery list. I don't remember a day without peanut butter in sight, Lily's Peanut Butter to be exact, since I was a child. Good memories abound when I think about peanut butter. My mom used to prepare me peanut butter sandwich as baon in all my school years and during my summer swimming lessons when I was an incoming grade 5 student. Being a mom myself, I know how important it is to pass on good traditions and create happy memories for the kids. Even when there was a craze in imported peanut butters, our family stayed loyal to that familiar, nutty yet creamy, and classic Lily's Peanut Butter.
Enjoying Lily's Peanut Butter In Many Ways
Lily's Peanut Butter is no longer known for just a spread used for breakfast and merienda. In fact, it has become a kitchen staple because of the endless possibilities we could do with it to make our recipes tastier and actually even healthier.
I personally use Lily's Peanut Butter in one of my specialty recipes Kare-Kare. If I couldn't find a stall which grinds peanuts in the palengke or if I need to find my ingredients fast, easy, and practical, there's no other peanut butter for me but Lily's. It is sweet but unlike other brands it's not too sweet. I mix it with a Kare-Kare powder to give my recipe a legit peanut sauce taste.

According to Jennifer Liza, Brand Manager for Lily's Peanut Butter, you can actually use peanut butter as a dip, as an ingredient to baking goods such as cookies, cupcakes and even brownies, as a topper for pancakes or waffles, in homemade ice cream, smoothies and many other weight-loss snacks.

At present Lily's Peanut Butter has expanded its market and has spawned an array of variants such as Lily's Coco Jam (made from fresh coconut mild and brown sugar slow-cooked the traditional way), Lily's Chocolate Peanut Butter (with cocoa powder) my teenager's favorite, the Lily's Peanut Butter Crunchy (with real peanut bits for texture), and Lily's Peanut Spread Lite for me and hubby who are now both diet conscious and for those who have health issues but still want to have generous serving of their favorite peanut butter.
Peanut Butter Is Healthy.
Yes, myth debunked that peanut butter, especially those with pool of oil on top of a newly opened jar/bottle, is unhealthy. In fact, the reason that it has that oil is evidence that the product is free from chemicals, emulsifiers or stabilizers. Lily's Peanut Butter is made from carefully selected premium peanuts, and its Lily's Crunchy Peanut butter is 100 percent natural and free from harmful additives. Only natural sugar and iodized salt are added to the main ingredient to create that wonderfully creamy and sweet peanut spread that Filipinos love.Research shows that peanut butter contains brain-boosting vitamins and minerals to keep one's memory sharp. It also contains protein, dietary fiber, potassium ans iron, which makes for a healthy go-to food for the whole family.
Now I understand better why it's a brain food and a healthy alternative to other commercial cookies for baon. Happy that my school-aged son's favorite snack is peanut butter sandwich that I shape into bite-sized stars.
Making Family Memories
Like my mom who had impressed so many good childhood memories in me through food, I am doing that for my kids as well by serving them healthy and savory dishes,like my special Kare-Kare, they will want to come home to and serving them their favorite peanut butter sandwich - both through the help of the family's all-time and only favorite, Lily's Peanut Butter.
