Weight Loss Duals: Peanut Butter and More
It is time for another weight loss dual. Today, regular peanut butter is going head to head with The BariatricPal Store’s lineup of Nuts ‘N More Spreads. We will compare them on a variety of nutrition, weight loss, and flavor characteristics, and you can decide the winner.
Protein
Nuts ‘N More Spreads have 11 grams of protein, which is over 50% more than regular peanut butter. Furthermore, the protein comes from an extra source, compared to regular peanut butter’s sole source of peanuts. You get some vegan protein from peanuts, and the rest from high-quality whey protein isolate. Whey protein is a fast-digesting protein so you get the benefits more quickly and weight loss surgery patients can expect better absorption rates compared to slower proteins.

Nutrients and Ingredients
Common ingredients in regular peanut butter are peanuts, salt, sugar, and oils. You are likely to find hydrogenated oils (they clog arteries) and refined sugars (they spike blood sugar levels). Nuts ‘N More Spreads are all-natural and contain no trans fats. They even have omega-3 fats from flax meal.

Dietary Restrictions
Do you love peanut butter? You are out of luck if you are following a paleo or low-carb diet. That is, unless you pick Nuts ‘N More Spreads. They are suitable for low-carbers, and many varieties are free from peanuts. Try Almond or Chocolate Almond Butter for a treat.

Flavors and Uses
Regular peanut butter comes in peanut flavor. Sure, there are a few variations, such as honey peanut butter or a drizzle of chocolate. But if you want Cookie Dough, Birthday Cake, Toffee Peanut Butter Crunch, or Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Spread, you’d better opt for Nuts ‘N More Spreads. If those sound good, be sure to check out all of our flavors. You would not want to miss out!

Nuts ‘N More Spreads tell a different story!
Each jar is special because of its unique flavor and nutritional profile. In addition, with so many flavors, you can create a personalized gift by selecting the favorite flavor(s) of your loved one.
