Making Fabulous Meals and Creating Fond Memories with my Trusted Peanut Butter Brand

Peanut butter has been an important part of my childhood. Being a "probinsyana" peanut butter is the most popular spread we have in our household and the most delicious spread I knew when I was just a kid.

Every merienda or almusal is special whenever there is a cup or a bottle of peanut butter on our
table. This spread has made a lot of happy memories of me and my Nanay because it is the favorite spread we used to share from morning until nighttime. Whether a homemade peanut butter or the one bought in-store, that would make us more than satisfied.

Why did my mother and I prefer peanut butter over any other types of spread? She had always told me that peanuts are food for the brain and it will help me be smarter in school and peanut butter is, of course, has that benefit too. Yes, Nanay was right since research shows that peanut butter contains brain-boosting vitamins and minerals to keep one's memory sharp. It also contains protein, dietary fiber, potassium and iron, which makes for a healthy go-to food for the family.

Whenever Nanay couldn't do a homemade peanut butter, she would always go for Lily's brand because it has the same goodness and quality as the one she used to make. Unlike any other brand, it is not too oily and it tastes natural. It also has the right consistency and creaminess from the first scoop down to the last.

When I became a Mom, Nanay was no longer beside me ( she happily joined Our Creator when I was just 19) but I kept all those happy memories including the ones we shared together with the peanut butter. As a mother, I am just like her but a little tech-savvy, hands-on and into healthy lifestyles. I also want my kids to grow smart and healthy so the first spread I introduced them was peanut butter, like my Nanay told so. Surprisingly, all my three kids love peanut butter, too; and since then, it became part of our weekly grocery list.

I have never trusted any other brand so I would always go for Lily's and I wouldn't look for any other brand especially now that Lily's is no longer just the sweet peanut spread that we've come to love but a versatile kitchen staple that can transform ordinary fare into dishes that are exciting, delicious, and nutritious.

With the rise of Internet and tech-based devices, millennial moms have more access to a wide variety of information such as innovative recipes and different research about health. Hence, they have better appreciation for Lily's Peanut Butter. They have rediscovered the product, seeing it as more than a snack and breakfast option but also as a healthy food ideal for making cookies, savory dishes, peanut-based dips, homemade ice cream, smoothies and weight-loss snacks.

Made from carefully selected premium peanuts, Lily's Crunchy Peanut Butter is 100% natural and free from harmful additives. In fact, the oil that pools on top of a newly-opened jar of Lily's is evidence that the product is free from chemicals, emulsifiers or stabilizers. Only natural sugar and iodized salt are added to the main ingredient to create that wonderfully creamy and sweet peanut spread that Filipinos love.

First introduced to Filipino cupboards in the 1950's, Lily's started as a homemade product and grew into a national household brand that adheres to the International Standards in Food Manufacturing. At first, Lily's has expanded its market and delivers its quality food products to Filipinos around the globe. Lily's has spawned an array of variants to cater to the evolving tastes of its consumers. Lily's Coco Jam is made from fresh cocont milk and brown sugar slow-cooked the traditional way. This delicacy is perfect as a bread filling, topping for native cakes or simply straight-from-the-jar snacking.

The chocolate spread fad paved the way for Lily's Chocolate Peanut Butter, which combines the indulgence oof chocolate with good old Lily's classic peanut butter. High-quality peanuts, natural sugar, and cocoa powder were combines to produce this all-new premium spread.

Then there was a clamor for some extra crunch so the company came out with Lily's Peanut Butter Crunchy. It has real peanut bits for that unique texture.

Meanwhile, Lily's Peanut Spread Lite was rolled out to cater to diet-conscious consumers and to those who are experiencing health issues. Sweetened with all-naturalized-calorie Stevia extract, Lily's Peanut Spread Lite lets consumers enjoy the sweet goodness of Lily's peanut butter sans the guilt.

Indeed, Lily's brand has come a long way. Yet it remains true to its heritage as a healthy, natural peanut butter brand that serves as the modern Mom's ally in creating fabulous meals and memories for Filipino families.

Generations through generations, Lily's will surely continue to delight every family's meal time and will continue to be a part of every family's moments of bonding and togetherness.
