Plant based butter a miracle ?

[newbie1956]

This is the one I've been using for several months:

Country Crock Plant Butter with Almond Oil is a dairy-free, plant-based butter that tastes like dairy butter. It is great for cooking and baking, and you can substitute Plant Butter one-for-one with dairy butter in all your favorite recipes. It is also gluten-free, certified Kosher, and certified Plant-Based by the Plant Based Foods Association, which means it is also suitable for vegan diets.

Newbie,

Sounds great! I have been using Benechol Lite for months ; also plant based and sterols.

Love the taste as does my husband.

Going to purchase the Country Crock when I shop this week as my store just started carrying it.

Thanks for the great suggestion!

Bet117,

COUNTRY CROCK actually had $1 off coupon a while back

That got my interest and wish I could find more of those coupons.

Not that it's expensive ! Walmart has it for $ 2.18 but they out at

the moment. Maybe I'll go directly to the company & ask for coupon.

Not that it's really a ''miracle''..... Still need to be balanced

Update. Just subscribed to Country Crock for coupon and recipes.

I'll certainly look into it. I recently switched from salt-free butter to Smart Balance Low Sodium margarine. I am trying to keep my blood pressure down. Margarines, of course, are made from vegetable oils. I'm not sure why Country Crock is called butter. I hope the sodium is low. I'll check the Benecol Lite too. Uh oh. BL has 105mg of sodium, and Country Crock Plant Butter has 110 mg. Think I'll stay with Smart Balance Low Sodium with 30mg.

RonaldResuelto,

With our ckd lifestyle /diet, it's pretty much a guessing game !

Continue to read labels & adjust according to your personal labs

I have been using the CCPB with olive oil as well as the avocado. For about a year now. Has no adverse effect on my Hypertension or my kidneys. Sodium is not a problem. I use it in all my cooking and baking. It just makes sense.
