Do you use Butter? Margarine? Or something else?

 

 

I love butter and use too much  Smiley Sad   So I started using other things like Smart Balance or others with olive oil.

 

Recently went back to real butter. Trying to use less Smiley Happy

Yes, butter. Never margarine.

Using a spreadable, light butter from Aldi.

 

Contains canola oil. Half the fats/calories of 100% butter.

Good tasting, affordable price.

Only real butter (salted) all my life.

 

I don't have any health/weight issues that would make it detrimental for me.

After years of using margerine because we were told it was healthier, I went back to butter.  However, I only use a minimal amount.  Always buy salted.

I cook with real butter if the recipe calls for it.  I use Smart Balance on toast or on my vegetables, on my popcorn.

My mother served margarine (or as she called it "oleo").

 

Once I tasted butter, I never looked back!

No...I don't consume animal products.  I use low sodium veggie broth for cooking/sauteing.  I use avo/nuts/seeds for good nutritional fat and am able to make creamy dressings/sauces.  Loving my lifestyleHeart
