Reader Reviews
I purchased this product at Whole Foods, and it is the only product that I have ever wanted to return because of its taste. The first thing you notice when you dip your spoon in is the texture. It's not the thick, creamy, peanut butter texture that you are used to, it has a consistency somewhere between mousse, jelly, and paste. As unappealing as the texture was, I could overlook it if it actually tasted like peanut butter. But instead of noticing the peanuts, the first flavors I noticed were the exotic sweeteners and syrups that they use to give the product its consistency. After examining the ingredient list and nutritional information, it became clear to me why this "peanut butter" was so disappointing: they took out most of the peanuts! Peanuts do top the list of ingredients, but you will notice that it is followed by a long list of fillers that include water, rice syrup, and tapioca starch. Using fillers has also diminished one of the main benefits you get from peanut butter: the protein. True this product has 40% fewer calories than regular peanut butter, but it also has less than half of the normal protein.
I really tried to like this product, but every time I got the jar out of the refrigerator (yes, that's right, this "peanut butter" has to be refrigerated -- another sign that it shouldn't be confused with peanut butter) the first taste would cause me to put it back. If you are looking to reduce calories, just eat less of the real thing. If you eat this, you'll be settling for lower satisfaction and protein intake for the sake of 90 fewer calories per serving. Not worth it to me.
