Smart Squeeze

So I've really been missing butter. I use coconut oil or shortening to cook, but I miss that butter flavor on waffles, potatoes, etc. I found Smart Squeeze, which wouldn't be great for baking (so the label says), but for topping stuff it should work. I emailed them (the company is Smart Balance) and here's their response--enjoy!:

Thanks Julie,

I really like Smart Squeeze. It's good for just what you said--veggies, waffles, pancakes, etc. when you want the buttery flavor.

Hmm....I'm intriguied Can you get it at a health food store? Does it have artificial stuff in it?

I've found it at Food Lion and Kroger. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't attest to the taste or anything. The main ingredients are modified food starch (from corn), water, and sugar, I believe. It's supposed to be "good for you," and it doesn't seem full of hydrogenated fats, like some of the butter substitutes.

I'm glad that you've tried it, Patti--I love to hear from those with experience before I try something new!
