If I were ever to have a love affair with a food, I think Naturally More Peanut Butter would probably be my top choice. This stuff is HOT baby!

Choosing a healthy, but delicious peanut butter is a really sticky topic. Most processed peanut butters like JIF and Skippy have a lot of added sugar and/or partially hydrogenated oils (aka trans fats), but they’re tasty and easy to spread. On the other hand, If you’re looking for a healthy peanut butter and go the au natural route, you’ll most likely get a drippy, oily mess that doesn’t end up tasting all that great. What’s a health-conscious peanut butter connoisseur supposed to do!?

BAM…enter Naturally More. Not only is this stuff uber healthy-even more so than completely natural brands-but it’s probably the best tasting peanut butter I’ve ever tried…even better than the sugary, processed brands.

Typically, peanut butter is a fantastic source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber (complements of the peanuts). Naturally More takes heart health to the next level by adding in one of my favorite foods-flaxseeds!

Flaxseeds sport high fiber content, disease-fighting antioxidants, protein, and EXTREMELY high levels of omega-3/omega-6 fatty acids-fatty acids that lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and lower blood pressure. They’re best known for their high levels in salmon and oily fish.

I also love how egg whites and wheat germ are a part of the ingredient blend. What a unique combo. The egg whites bump up the protein content to 10 g per serving! That’s double the protein in most peanut butter brands.

All things considered, Naturally More is the kind of the peanut butter kingdom. Not only does it have powerful omega-3s/omega-6s, antioxidants, fiber, and a ton of muscle-building protein, but it also tastes incredible. It’s got a smooth, lightly sweet taste with a delicate crunch. It’s perfection in a jar.

I dare you…find a peanut butter with a better combination of health and taste, and drop it in the comments. I highly doubt you’ll win this battle 😀
