I'm Wondering:confused: Would I believe Its Not Butter.Its On sale, and while its not expensive I wouldn't want to buy it and not be able to eat it
Is it like a knock off of I can't Believe its Not Butter?
No That's What I'm Talking about !
I bought it once years ago.It was creamy enough.The taste was okay but really won't mistake it for butter.
"I can't Believe its Not Butter" is a cheaper margarine made with loads of saturated fats (1/3, palm oil and palm kernel oil) so it is cheaper and less healthy than many of the other options out there. Personally I will not buy it. The taste is poor IMO. Tropical grease plus soybean oil, which has a heavy taste.
I have been able to find Lactantia Healthy Attitude, Becel, Celeb (PC product) at around $1.50/lb (450g, smaller tub) and these are all much healthier with far less saturated fat, better tasting, canola-base, and really not that expensive.
I like it
I love the spray version on my popcorn.
If you are a margarine eater normally, I can't say. However if you are a butter eater, you probably won't like it.
Health wise, butter is better, but not sure if that is what you were wondering about.
Butter is 50% saturated fat, I can't believe it's not butter is 33% saturated fat --> ICBINB is healthier than butter.Quote:

I have been using it for a few years - I have a milk allergy and usually I buy the becel vegan and I can't Believe its Not Butter
Current research on fats, including sat. fats, is showing that assumption in the past were unfounded.
There is a lot of interesting data out there these days :)
Strictly speaking from a taste perspective, butter wins for me personally, but i rarely eat it anyways

I only tried it once but was not a fan. Plus I decided to stay away from margarines all together. So much horrible stuff in it. I'm now trying Earth Balance spread (the soy free/dairy free one). I know it has some palm oil in it but I guess it's better than margarine. It tastes great though. Only thing I don't like is the price.
The high saturated fat margarines like ICBINB are good for baking, on the bright side. It keeps the baked goods from staling quickly.Quote:

It's ok in a pinch when it's on sale for $1.00 but I prefer the real stuff
None of that "I Can't Believe" business for me. I CAN believe it's butter since that's all I buy. :)
