The worst-kept secret in healthy eating is that peanut butter is a quick and easy way to squeeze some extra protein into your breakfast or afternoon snack, but not all peanut butter is created equal.

Unlike most supermarket spreads, which tend to be fattier, Myprotein’s powdered peanut butter offers an improved protein-to-calorie ratio to help you reach your fitness goals more easily, whether that’s bulking up, growing or maintaining muscle mass.

By roasting and pressing the peanuts to remove their oils, Myprotein strips out 70 per cent of the fat found in the supermarket alternatives. Each serving of the fitness brand’s peanut butter contains 1.1g of fat, as well as a higher-than-average protein content of 48g per 100g. That’s roughly twice the protein found in your typical jar of peanut butter.

Right now, you can pick up a 180g tub of Myprotein powdered peanut butter for less than half-price.

Available in original flavour or with added stevia for sweetness, Myprotein powdered peanut butter is formulated to be high in protein and fibre, and it contains 70 per cent less fat than regular peanut butter.

The powder is quick to mix up and serve – just stir up two tablespoons with a tablespoon of water for a single serving – and we’ve even heard of some creative Myprotein customers popping the odd spoonful into their protein shakes for that nutty kick.

If you don’t fancy mixing up your own spread, you might want to check out Myprotein’s all-natural peanut butter instead.
