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.

Dietary Restrictions
