We are big fans of peanut butter and eat it with almost everything there is. We only use 100% peanut butter without any additives, and in the last couple of years we have had the opportunity to try three different peanut butters so today we want review them
We have to point out that we do not get products for a review gift, and in no way related to manufacturers, this is an independent product analysis to raise awareness of nutritionally rich foods and healthy lifestyles in general.
MyProtein, crunchy
Taste and texture
The taste is medium, not gentle, but not strong. It is as if we can not define whether the peanuts are hard roasted or slightly fried. The mixture is not so sticky and contains a lot of peanut pieces, and it does not have much oil, medium density. It is good for smoothie and mixing with cottage cheese, although there is a chance that parts of it could remain on glass blender after blending because of the medium density.

GymBeam, crunchy
Taste and texture
The taste is gentle and the mixture is less dense. A lot of oil on the top and lots of clean peanut pieces, make sure to stir before use, and as we get closer to the bottom, the mixture becomes harder and thicker if we do not mix it every time we use it. Due to its lower density it is excellent for smoothies because it does not remain on the blender’s glass after blending.
It is also available with the addition of proteins with chocolate or strawberry flavor, we tried both and loved the strawberries because it gives that fine after taste of strawberries combined with a delicious potion of cottage cheese.

Nutrigold, crunchy
Taste and texture
The taste is strong, you can feel that peanuts are stronger fried. The mixture is quite thick, the peanut pieces are integrated into the mixture, no need for mixing. It is not suitable for smoothies due to its density because it remains on the blender’s glass, but is therefore perfect for mixing with cottage cheese, mixing it with scrambled eggs or adding on top of a banana.

Conclusion
Each of the three mentioned peanut butters has its own reason and it is up to you to decide which one you want to use. We feel that the differences are really minimal when it comes to 100% peanut butter and you will not regret whatever you buy!
