Do you love peanut butter and nut butters? Peanuts and nuts are some of the healthiest foods on the planet, but the spreads that are often on shelves can be high in sugar. It’s also good to check for special concerns, such as being keto, gluten-free, or organic.

And, they are absolutely delicious and packed with natural ingredients that can make you feel good about what you are putting in your body. Here are five top Bariatric-Friendly Nut Butters.
