What is DailyLife's GoNuts spread?
DailyLife GoNuts is a cocoa-hazelnut spread reformulated to be high in protein and very low in sugars. Per 100 g it provides 25 g of protein and less than 1 g of sugars. The jar holds 350 g.
DailyLife is an Italian brand specialising in reformulated snack products — the idea is not to invent a new food, but to take a product everyone already knows and change its nutritional profile. Here the benchmark is obvious: a classic spread contains around 55 g of sugars per 100 g and 6 g of protein. The ratio is reversed.
What makes that possible is replacing the sugar with maltitol and adding whey protein. It is a deliberate formulation choice, with its advantages and its limits, and we set out both further down. The rest of the brand can be browsed in our DailyLife section, and the other spreads and nut butters in our peanut butter section.
What is in GoNuts?
| Composition | Per 100 g | Per 20 g (one slice) |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 25 g | 5 g |
| Sugars | less than 1 g | less than 0.2 g |
| Fat | not disclosed | not disclosed |
| Fibre | not disclosed | not disclosed |
| Packaging | 350 g jar | |
25 g of protein per 100 g is a quarter of the jar. That is what genuinely sets this product apart from an ordinary spread, and the figure is accurate. In practice a generous slice takes about 20 g of product, so 5 g of protein: a worthwhile top-up at breakfast, not a main source. Do not count on it to cover your needs for the day.
We have to be blunt about what the manufacturer does not publish: fat, energy value and fibre do not appear in the data available to us. That is awkward on a high-fat product, and we would rather write it than line up a figure found elsewhere. Refer to the table printed on the jar you receive. What the ingredients list does tell us, on the other hand, is that two oils are present — shea and sunflower — and that there is no palm oil.
The point that deserves the most attention is maltitol. It is the first ingredient on the list: it is what replaces the sugar and what explains the “less than 1 g of sugars” line. Maltitol is a polyol; it does not count as sugar in regulatory terms, but it still provides calories and it is poorly tolerated in large amounts. The manufacturer flags it itself: excessive consumption may have laxative effects. That is not boilerplate, it is the reality of this family of sweeteners — and it is why we talk about slices of bread rather than one spoonful after another.
On the regulatory side, one point worth knowing: the wording “source of protein” is a controlled nutrition claim, which a product may carry as soon as 12% of its energy value comes from protein. No promise of results, on the other hand, is permitted. This product is a reformulated spread: pleasant, higher in protein than most, and nothing more.
Ingredients list
Sweetener: maltitol, whey protein (MILK), shea oil, low-fat cocoa powder, sunflower oil, milk powder, SOYA flour, emulsifier: SOYA lecithin, flavouring.
Allergens: MILK and SOYA. May contain traces of NUTS. No palm oil, no added sugars. Excessive consumption may have laxative effects.
How do you eat GoNuts?
Serving: 15 to 20 g at breakfast, 10 to 15 g as a snack. Base: wholemeal bread, crispbread, or as a recipe ingredient. Timing: morning or snack. Frequency: one to two servings a day. Duration: no notion of a course, it is a food.
Stir the jar before first use. The oil naturally rises to the surface during storage, as it does in any nut butter without a stabilising additive. One turn of a knife and the texture is even again. Without that, the first slice is oily and the bottom of the jar turns dry.
It cooks as well as it spreads. A spoonful in fromage blanc, in a bowlcake, in a protein pancake batter or as a muffin topping: that is often where it is at its most interesting, because it brings the cocoa-hazelnut flavour without the usual sugar load.
Keep the quantities sensible, and not for diet reasons. Maltitol is well tolerated in small servings and much less so when you get through half the jar in front of a film. Start with a 15 g serving to see how you tolerate it, since digestive sensitivity to polyols varies enormously from one person to another.
One last thing, and it is an obvious point that deserves writing down: this is not a main protein source. It rounds out a breakfast, it does not replace one. If your goal is protein intake, a scoop of protein powder does the job far more efficiently.
Who is GoNuts for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at someone who likes spreads and is looking to cut the sugars in their breakfast without giving up the taste. It is a substitute product, and it is well designed for that. It also suits people who make their own snacks and want a low-sugar cocoa-hazelnut ingredient.
It is not suitable for people allergic to milk or soya, both of which are in the recipe. Traces of nuts are possible: if your allergy is severe, bear that in mind. Nor is it suitable for vegan diets, since the whey protein and the milk powder are dairy-derived.
It should be avoided if you digest polyols badly. Maltitol causes bloating and intestinal discomfort in some people, and the tolerance threshold varies a great deal. If you already know that chewing gum and “sugar-free” products upset you, this product will upset you too. With children, adjust the servings.
What not to expect from it. It does not make you lose weight, it replaces no meal and it is not a food supplement despite the 25 g of protein on the label. It remains a treat food, higher in protein and far less sugary than a classic spread — that is already reason enough to choose it, and no other is needed.
Protein spread or peanut butter?
That is the real trade-off in this section, and it is settled on composition more than on taste.
A pure peanut butter contains a single ingredient: peanuts. No sweetener, no emulsifier, no flavouring. It provides around 25 g of protein per 100 g, exactly the same order of magnitude as here, with higher fat but entirely plant-based and unprocessed. If your criterion is the simplicity of the ingredients list, our peanut butter section wins hands down.
GoNuts wins on cocoa-hazelnut flavour and on texture. A peanut butter, however good, does not replace a chocolate spread for someone who grew up with one. That is the need this product addresses, and answering it with a lecture about natural products has never convinced anyone at the counter.
A third option, often the smartest one: if it is the sugar that bothers you on your morning toast, a zero-sugar jam brings the fruit flavour with no fat at all, and combines very well with a nut butter. And if you are simply after a sweet snack that fits in a bag, protein bars answer that need better than a 350 g jar.
Frequently asked questions
How much protein in one slice?
About 5 g for a 20 g serving, on the basis of 25 g of protein per 100 g. That is a reasonable top-up at breakfast, not a main source. For comparison, a standard scoop of protein powder provides five times as much.
Why so little sugar?
Because the sugar is replaced by maltitol, a polyol that does not count as sugar in regulatory terms. It still provides calories and can cause digestive discomfort in large amounts. That is the accepted trade-off of this type of recipe.
Does the product contain palm oil?
No. The two fats in the recipe are shea oil and sunflower oil. It is a point on which the formulation stands clearly apart from classic spreads, almost all of which rely on palm oil.
What are the allergens?
Milk, through the whey protein and the milk powder, and soya, present as flour and as lecithin. The manufacturer also flags possible traces of nuts. The product is therefore unsuitable both for people allergic to milk or soya and for vegan diets.
What is the energy value per 100 g?
The manufacturer does not disclose it in the data available to us, any more than the fat or fibre content. We are not going to invent it. Refer to the nutrition table printed on the jar you receive: it is the only reliable source on this point.
Why does it need stirring before use?
Because the oil rises to the surface during storage, the recipe containing no heavy stabiliser. One turn of a knife is enough to restore an even texture. Without that, the first slice is greasy and the bottom of the jar ends up dry and compact.
Can it be heated or cooked with?
Yes, it works well in a bowlcake, in pancakes or in muffins, and that is often its best use. Add it towards the end of the preparation or as a topping: long cooking at high temperature degrades the cocoa flavour and hardens the texture.
Where to buy DailyLife GoNuts?
The 350 g jar can be ordered from this page, and we ship anywhere in France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, it is a product we happily suggest to anyone who wants to lighten their breakfast without giving it up — but we always mention the maltitol, because tolerance varies and it is better to know beforehand than afterwards. The rest of our snack ideas can be browsed in the protein snack section.
What is IO Genix peanut butter?
This is a peanut butter with a minimal ingredient list: 99.5% skinless roasted peanuts, plus 0.5% roasted peanuts with skins and sunflower oil. No added sugar, no sweetener, no emulsifier, no palm oil. Two textures are listed: smooth and crunchy.
With this kind of product, the ingredient list is the only criterion that really counts, and this one is about as short as you could hope for. Most supermarket peanut butters add sugar, salt and a palm fat to stop the oil separating out. None of that here — which is also why the oil rises to the top, something we will come back to.
The product joins our peanut butter and IO Genix ranges. It is a food, not a supplement: it belongs next to the oats, not next to the capsules.
What does a serving contain?
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 20 g serving* | Per 30 g serving* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 666 kcal | 133 kcal | 200 kcal |
| Protein | 26 g | 5.2 g | 7.8 g |
| Carbohydrate | 14 g | 2.8 g | 4.2 g |
| of which sugars | not disclosed | — | — |
| Fat | 58 g | 11.6 g | 17.4 g |
| of which saturates | not disclosed | — | — |
| Fibre | no figure given | — | — |
| Salt | 1.35 g | 0.27 g | 0.41 g |
* Columns calculated from the per 100 g values. Three figures are missing from the labelling we were given: sugars, saturates and the fibre content, described as “naturally present” without a number. The net weight of the jar is not specified either.
One value strikes us as needing verification, and we would rather say so: the label declares 1.35 g of salt per 100 g and presents it as “naturally present”, even though the ingredient list contains no added salt and unsalted peanuts contain far less than that. We are reproducing the manufacturer's figure without correcting it, and we would encourage you to read the label on the jar you receive if you are watching your salt intake.
The figure that defines this product is 58 g of fat per 100 g, i.e. 666 kcal. That is a lot, it is entirely normal, and it is the first thing to take on board: a level tablespoon is roughly 20 g, so 133 kcal. Two generous spoonfuls eaten standing in front of the cupboard easily come to 300 kcal. Peanut butter is an excellent food; it is not a light one.
The second figure is the 26 g of protein per 100 g. An honest clarification is needed here: that represents 15.6% of the energy value, which clears the threshold for the “source of protein” claim (12%) but not the one for “high in protein” (20%). And above all, peanut protein is not a complete protein: its essential amino acid profile is limiting, particularly in methionine and lysine. A 20 g serving gives you 5.2 g of protein: that is a bonus, not a source.
Peanuts naturally supply iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, copper and selenium. Since none of these contents is quantified, no regulatory wording can be used for these minerals, and we will not use any.
How should you use this peanut butter?
Amount: 10 to 30 g per serving depending on your goal. Base: toast, oats, pancakes, fresh fruit. Timing: breakfast or a snack. Frequency: one to two servings a day. Duration: none, it is a food.
The manufacturer's guidelines are useful because they turn grams into real situations. 10 to 15 g to enrich a dish or a light snack. 20 to 25 g for a full breakfast or a post-session snack. 30 g at most when the aim is to add energy. Beyond that, you are mostly adding calories.
The one thing that makes all the difference, and that nobody does: weigh it out the first time. Twenty grams of peanut butter is a good deal less than people imagine. Once you have the visual reference, the spoon is enough.
With no emulsifier, the oil rises to the top when the jar stands still: that is the sign of a product with no stabilising additive, not a fault. Stir the jar thoroughly the first time you open it, right down to the bottom, then store it the right way up. Some people keep it upside down between uses, which redistributes the oil.
In the kitchen it holds up very well in pancakes, cookies or a satay sauce. Its most useful pairing is still the simplest: a spoonful stirred into a bowl of oat flour, which turns a carbohydrate breakfast into a complete meal.
Who is this peanut butter for, and who is it not for?
It suits anyone trying to push their calories up without eating more volume: it is one of the most energy-dense foods in the catalogue, and one spoonful adds 133 kcal effortlessly. For mass gain, it is a far more pleasant lever than a gainer. It also suits anyone who reads labels: at 99.5% peanuts, there is not much to argue with.
It contains PEANUTS, and traces of ALMONDS, HAZELNUTS, CASHEW NUTS, PISTACHIOS, MACADAMIA NUTS, MILK and SOYA are possible. If you are allergic to peanuts or tree nuts, this product is obviously out — and peanut allergy is one of the most severe there is. Keep out of reach of children.
It is not suitable during a strict calorie deficit unless you weigh it scrupulously: 58 g of fat per 100 g does not forgive guesswork. Nor is it suitable if you are watching your salt intake and have not checked the value discussed above.
What you should not expect from it: it is not a protein source. Five grams per spoonful, with an incomplete amino acid profile, replaces no shake and no piece of meat. Nor is it a “health” product: peanuts do supply good fatty acids, but no claim can be used here in the absence of quantified contents. It is a dense, tasty and honestly formulated food. Nothing more, and that is already a great deal.
Peanut butter or a protein spread?
This is the comparison that comes up over the counter every single day, and it comes down to what you are trying to solve.
A protein spread, like the ones in the Grenade range, supplies around 20 g of protein per 100 g — less than this butter — but it answers a sugar craving that plain peanut butter does not satisfy. It is sweetened with polyols, with the laxative warning that goes with them, and its ingredient list is a great deal longer. It is the right choice if your problem is the chocolate spread in the cupboard.
Peanut butter wins on three concrete points: 26 g of protein per 100 g against 20, an ingredient list two lines long, and no polyols, so no risk of digestive discomfort. It also costs considerably less per kilo. It is the default choice unless you specifically need a dessert flavour.
And if your goal really is to increase your protein intake, neither of them is the answer: a serving of protein powder supplies 25 g for 120 kcal, whereas you would need 100 g of peanut butter and 666 kcal for a comparable result. The other snack formats can be compared in our protein snacks range.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the oil rise to the top?
Because there is no emulsifier and no palm fat in the formulation. That is normal behaviour for a peanut butter made of 99.5% peanuts, and it is rather a good sign. Stir it thoroughly, right down to the bottom of the jar, the first time you open it: the texture becomes even again.
How many calories in a spoonful?
A level tablespoon is around 20 g, so 133 kcal, 5.2 g of protein and 11.6 g of fat. That is the most useful reference point on this page: two generous spoonfuls easily go past 300 kcal, and that shows up in a day's totals.
Smooth or crunchy?
The formulation is the same, only the texture changes: smooth on one side, with pieces of peanut on the other. The smooth blends better into porridge or a sauce; the crunchy works better on toast. It is a preference, not a nutritional criterion.
Does it contain added sugar?
No, the ingredient list contains none: only roasted peanuts and a touch of sunflower oil. The 14 g of carbohydrate per 100 g come naturally from the peanuts. The breakdown of the “of which sugars” line is not published by the manufacturer, however.
Is it a good source of protein?
It is a “source of protein” in the regulatory sense, but not in the sense you mean. Twenty grams of product supplies 5.2 g of protein, with an incomplete amino acid profile, limiting in particular in methionine and lysine. It is a bonus on a slice of toast, not a building block of your daily total.
How long does an opened jar keep?
Several weeks at room temperature, away from light. With no preservative, the only risk is the fats going rancid, which announces itself immediately in the taste. As the net weight of the jar is not in our data, check it on the label to estimate how long yours will last.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. The only ingredients are roasted peanuts and sunflower oil, both of plant origin. Do note, however, the possible traces of milk flagged by the manufacturer, as well as those of several tree nuts.
Where can you buy IO Genix peanut butter?
Both textures can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. It is a cupboard staple that keeps for a long time: there is no need to stockpile five jars, but two are never too many.
At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is one of the few aisles where we advise turning the jar around before buying, whatever the brand. Two lines of ingredients is a good sign; seven, including sugar and palm fat, much less so. The habit is worth keeping for any supermarket shop.
What is Yam Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder?
Yam Nutrition Peanut Butter en Poudre is peanut butter from which most of the fat has been removed and which has then been dried. The bag weighs 500 g and covers roughly 16 servings of 30 g. The ingredients list runs to three words: 100% roasted peanuts. No added sugar, no palm oil, no emulsifier, no preservative.
The process is mechanical: the peanuts are roasted then pressed to extract part of the oil, and the remaining cake is ground into a powder. That is what explains the product's profile — the protein and the fibre become concentrated while the fat falls away. Per 100 g of powder, 13 g of fat remain, against around fifty in a conventional peanut butter.
The product is vegan, gluten free and lactose free. It keeps at room temperature, in a dry place, with no refrigeration. You will find it in our peanut butter section, alongside the jarred versions.
What does a 30 g serving contain?
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 30 g serving | % NRV* per serving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 1,686 kJ / 403 kcal | 506 kJ / 121 kcal | 6% |
| Fat | 13 g | 3.9 g | 5.6% |
| of which saturates | 1.9 g | 0.57 g | 2.9% |
| Carbohydrate | 20 g | 6 g | 2.3% |
| of which sugars | 12 g | 3.6 g | 4% |
| Fibre | 13 g | 3.9 g | — |
| Protein | 45 g | 13.5 g | 27% |
| Sodium | 0.01 g | 0.003 g | — |
* Nutrient reference values for a typical adult (8,400 kJ / 2,000 kcal, 70 g of fat, 20 g of saturates, 260 g of carbohydrate, 90 g of sugars, 50 g of protein). The manufacturer declares sodium rather than salt: we reproduce its figure as it stands. The 12 g of sugars per 100 g occur naturally in the peanut, no sugar is added.
Three figures sum the product up. 45 g of protein per 100 g: protein accounts for close to 45% of the powder's energy, comfortably above the regulatory threshold that allows the wording “high protein”. 13 g of fibre per 100 g: here again above the 6 g threshold that allows the wording “high fibre”. And 121 kcal per 30 g serving, against roughly 190 kcal for the same amount of jarred peanut butter. That is where the whole point lies: much the same taste, a third fewer calories, and three times more protein for the same weight.
Worth noting that peanut protein is incomplete in methionine. That is not a flaw in the product, it is the nature of the legume: paired with cereals over the course of the day, the complementation takes care of itself.
How should Peanut Butter Powder be used?
The reference serving is 30 g, once or twice a day depending on your intake. There is no course and no duration: this is a food, not a supplement.
Three uses, three dilutions. As a spread: 30 g of powder and one tablespoon of water or milk, stirred until the texture is smooth. Add the liquid gradually, which is the product's only difficulty — too much water at once and the paste turns runny with no way back. In a shaker: 30 g in 250 ml of water or milk, shaken for thirty seconds. In cooking: stirred in as it is, without reconstituting, into pancakes, porridge, a bowlcake, a smoothie or a yoghurt.
The third use is the most interesting and the least known. A spoonful of powder in a preparation based on oat flour or in a protein pancake batter brings the peanut taste without the fat that weighs the cooking down. It is handier than jarred peanut butter, which sets firm and is awkward to measure out.
When cutting, or in any period when fat is being counted, the powder lets you keep that taste on the plate without blowing the calorie budget. It is the use case we see most often at the counter.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?
It suits just about everyone: athletes in a deficit, vegetarians and vegans looking for plant protein, people who like peanut butter but not its 600 kcal per 100 g.
It is not suitable in two clear cases. First, allergy: the product contains PEANUTS and may contain traces of NUTS, SOYA and SESAME. It is made in a factory that also handles eggs, milk proteins, gluten and crustacean-based ingredients. A peanut allergy contraindicates the product, no argument. Second, sensitive guts: excessive consumption may have laxative effects because of the high fibre content. The manufacturer mentions this explicitly, and 3.9 g of fibre per serving add to everything else in your day. Stick to the stated servings.
What not to expect from it: it is not a protein powder. 13.5 g per serving, against 20 to 25 g for a serving of whey, with an incomplete plant profile and 121 kcal along with it. Use it as a food you enjoy the taste of, not as your main protein source — for that, see the protein section. Nor is it a slimming product: it simply does less damage than the jarred version.
Peanut powder or jarred peanut butter?
Both have their place, and we sell both. The choice depends on what you do with it.
Jarred peanut butter wins as soon as texture and calorie density are the issue. If you are bulking and struggling to hit your calories, a spoonful of paste at 190 kcal does the job far more efficiently than reconstituted powder. It also wins on the morning slice of toast: the texture of an oil-rich paste remains superior, rehydrated powder is a little drier and slightly grainy. Nobody should tell you otherwise.
The powder wins on three fronts: calories (121 kcal against roughly 190 per 30 g), protein content (13.5 g against 7 to 8 g), and convenience in the kitchen, where it pours like a flour. When cutting, during weight loss, or whenever precise measuring is needed, it takes the advantage. The formats can be compared side by side in the aisle, and the calculation to make is a simple one: the price per 100 g of protein, not the price of the jar.
Frequently asked questions
How many servings are there in a 500 g bag?
About 16 servings of 30 g. At one serving a day, the bag covers a little over two weeks. The powder keeps at room temperature in a dry place; reseal the bag carefully after each use, moisture is its only enemy.
How much water is needed to get a paste texture back?
One tablespoon per 30 g of powder, added in two stages. Start with three quarters of it, stir, then top up if needed. Too much liquid at once gives a runny cream that can only be rescued by adding more powder.
Is there any added sugar?
No. The 12 g of sugars per 100 g are those of the peanut itself. The only declared ingredient is “100% roasted peanuts”, with no added salt either — sodium is at 0.01 g per 100 g.
Can it be used in baking?
Yes, and that is one of its best uses. It goes in dry, like a flour, into pancakes, home-made cookies, porridge or bowlcakes. Bear in mind that it absorbs liquid: adjust the hydration of your recipe slightly.
Does it taste the same as conventional peanut butter?
The roasted peanut taste is clear and very much present, but the mouthfeel differs: without the fat, the rich coating disappears and the texture is drier. Most people get used to it in two or three uses, some do not. In a shaker or a cooked preparation, the difference is no longer noticeable.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. A single ingredient of plant origin, with no lactose and no gluten, which makes it a useful top-up alongside plant proteins. One reminder though: the peanut is low in methionine, so vary your sources across the day.
Can it replace a serving of protein after training?
No, not on its own. 13.5 g of incomplete plant protein per serving is half what a serving of whey supplies, with a less favourable amino acid profile. A spoonful in the shaker does, on the other hand, make the whole thing far more pleasant to drink, and that is often what it is asked to do.
Where can you buy Yam Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder?
The 500 g bag can be ordered from this page. We ship throughout France and Europe, and the product is also on the shelf in our shop in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier — it is the kind of item that is better seen once, to grasp the format, before ordering it online.
The rest of the range can be found in the Yam Nutrition collection, and if you are looking for something to go with a snack rather than to cook with, take a look at the protein snacks.
Qu'est-ce que le 100% Peanut Butter d'OstroVit ?
Le 100% Peanut Butter est un beurre de cacahuète à tartiner dont la liste d'ingrédients tient en deux mots : cacahuètes grillées. Pas de sucre ajouté, pas de sel ajouté, pas d'huile de palme, pas d'émulsifiant. Le pot fait un kilo et se garde à température ambiante.
C'est le rayon où l'écart entre deux pots est le plus large, et tout se joue sur la première ligne de l'étiquette. Beaucoup de pâtes à tartiner du commerce descendent à 85 ou 90 % de cacahuètes, le reste étant du sucre, du sel et une matière grasse bon marché. Ici, il n'y a rien d'autre que la cacahuète. Le reste de la gamme se parcourt dans le rayon OstroVit.
Ce qu'il y a dans le 100% Peanut Butter
Le chiffre à retenir, c'est 24 g de protéines pour 100 g. Un beurre de cacahuète n'est pas une poudre protéinée, mais à ce niveau-là il pèse dans un petit-déjeuner ou dans une collation d'après-midi, et il le fait avec un aliment entier plutôt qu'avec un arôme.
Viennent ensuite 50 g de matières grasses pour 100 g, dont seulement 7,7 g d'acides gras saturés : l'essentiel du gras de la cacahuète est insaturé, c'est la signature de l'arachide. Et 8,4 g de fibres pour 100 g, ce qui explique la satiété que tout le monde connaît après deux cuillères.
Côté sucres, 4,9 g pour 100 g, et ce sont les sucres propres à la cacahuète : rien n'a été ajouté. Le sel tombe à 0,02 g pour 100 g, autant dire rien du tout. C'est ce qui sépare un pot pur d'un pot industriel, où le sel et le sucre arrivent souvent en deuxième et troisième position.
À qui s'adresse le 100% Peanut Butter ?
À ceux qui prennent de la masse et qui cherchent des calories denses, faciles à avaler, sans se forcer à un cinquième repas complet. Deux cuillères sur du pain complet, et la journée remonte de deux cents kilocalories sans y penser.
Il parle aussi à ceux qui surveillent leur alimentation et qui veulent une pâte à tartiner lisible : un seul ingrédient, rien à décoder. Et à ceux qui cuisinent — pâtisserie, sauces salées, porridge, smoothies : un kilo part vite quand on s'y met.
Quelle texture choisir ?
Deux textures, lisse ou avec morceaux, et c'est le seul point qui les sépare : la composition et les valeurs nutritionnelles sont strictement identiques, seul le broyage change.
La version lisse se tartine et se mélange sans résistance, c'est celle qui part dans un shaker ou dans une pâte à gâteau. La version avec morceaux garde des éclats de cacahuète qui craquent sous la dent, et c'est souvent celle que l'on garde pour la tartine du matin.
Questions fréquentes
Quels sont les bienfaits du beurre de cacahuète ?
La cacahuète apporte des protéines, des fibres et des acides gras majoritairement insaturés. Sur ce pot, cela donne 24 g de protéines, 8,4 g de fibres et 50 g de matières grasses pour 100 g, dont seulement 7,7 g de saturés. C'est un aliment dense, pas un complément.
Est-ce bon de manger du beurre de cacahuète tous les jours ?
C'est un aliment, pas une cure : il se place dans la journée comme le feraient du fromage ou de l'huile d'olive. Ce qui change tout, c'est ce qu'il y a dans le pot. Avec un seul ingrédient et aucun sucre ajouté, celui-ci tient sa place dans une alimentation courante.
Est-ce que le beurre de cacahuète fait maigrir ?
Ce n'est pas un produit minceur : à 613 kcal pour 100 g, il est calorique. Ce qu'il apporte, c'est de la satiété, grâce aux fibres et aux protéines, et un vrai goût qui évite de se rabattre sur une pâte à tartiner sucrée. Le reste se joue sur le total de la journée.
Comment consommer du beurre de cacahuète ?
Sur une tranche de pain, dans un bol de flocons d'avoine, dans un shaker avec une banane, ou en cuisine : sauce satay, marinade, pâte à cookies, glaçage. Un pot d'un kilo laisse largement la place d'essayer.
Quelle est la différence entre le beurre de cacahuète et la purée de cacahuète ?
Aucune quand le produit est pur : les deux noms désignent la même chose, des cacahuètes broyées. La différence se voit sur l'étiquette des produits du commerce, où le mot beurre accompagne souvent du sucre, du sel et une huile ajoutée. Ici, la liste s'arrête aux cacahuètes grillées.
Quel beurre de cacahuète choisir en musculation ?
Celui dont la première ligne d'ingrédients indique 100 % de cacahuètes. C'est le seul repère qui compte : le taux de protéines et le profil des graisses suivent automatiquement, et on évite le sucre ajouté qui gonfle les calories sans rien apporter.
Où acheter du bon beurre de cacahuète ?
Chez KISS NUTRITION, en ligne avec expédition partout en France et en Europe, ou directement en boutique à Vendargues, à dix minutes de Montpellier. Le reste de la gamme est réuni dans le rayon OstroVit.
Où acheter le 100% Peanut Butter ?
Le 100% Peanut Butter s'achète en ligne sur kissnutrition.fr, avec expédition dans toute la France et partout en Europe, suivi de colis compris.
Il s'achète aussi en magasin, à Vendargues, à dix minutes de Montpellier : le pot se prend en main, l'étiquette se lit tranquillement et les questions se posent de vive voix. Le reste de la gamme, des poudres aux pâtes à tartiner, est réuni dans le rayon OstroVit.
What's really in a peanut butter?
A good peanut butter contains only one thing: roasted and ground peanuts. Perhaps a pinch of salt. That's it. As soon as the label mentions sugar, glucose syrup, palm oil, or emulsifiers, you're buying something else—a peanut spread, whose nutritional profile is quite different.
The difference is not cosmetic. Sweetened industrial versions often contain as little as 85% peanuts, with the rest being sugar and added fat, which is less beneficial than the natural fat from peanuts. For the same caloric intake, you get fewer proteins and more fast-acting sugars.
Nutritional content per 100g
According to the Ciqual table from ANSES, additive-free peanut butter provides approximately:
- Protein: 25g
- Fat: 50g, with a clear majority of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids
- Carbohydrates: 12 to 20g depending on the variety, with little sugar if nothing is added
- Fiber: 6 to 8g
- Energy: approximately 600 kcal
In addition, it contains significant amounts of magnesium, vitamin E, niacin, and potassium. Peanuts are not actually tree nuts but legumes, which explains their higher protein content compared to most oilseeds.
Does peanut butter make you gain weight?
600 kcal per 100g is objectively dense. But the question is not the caloric density of a single food: it's the daily balance. Two tablespoons represent about 30g, or 180 to 190 kcal and 7 to 8g of protein—the equivalent of a small snack, not an excess.
What makes you gain weight is eating directly from the jar with a spoon without counting. The density makes the mistake easy: 100g goes quickly and weighs heavily in a daily balance. The solution is simple: weigh rather than estimate.
Conversely, when bulking, this density becomes an asset: adding quality calories without filling the stomach is precisely the problem to solve when struggling to eat enough. And when losing weight, a controlled portion provides lasting satiety thanks to fats and fiber, which limits late-day snacking.
Peanut butter and cholesterol: what's the real story?
The question comes up often, and the answer is quite reassuring. Peanut butter contains no cholesterol: it's a plant-based food, and dietary cholesterol is of animal origin. Its fats are mostly unsaturated, similar to those found in olive oil.
This doesn't make peanut butter a medicine, and no health claims of this type are allowed in France for this product. What can be said honestly: in a balanced diet, replacing a source of saturated fats with a source of unsaturated fats is a step in the right direction. In case of proven hypercholesterolemia, it's your doctor or a dietitian who should frame your diet, not a product sheet.
However, be careful with sweetened versions and palm oil: they reintroduce exactly the saturated fats one was trying to avoid.
Smooth or crunchy: what's the difference?
None, nutritionally speaking. The crunchy version simply contains unground peanut pieces. The choice depends on how it's used: smooth blends without lumps in a shaker, porridge, or sauce; crunchy holds better on toast and adds texture to baked goods.
One point that confuses newcomers: in a 100% natural product, oil rises to the surface when at rest. This is normal and even proof that no emulsifiers have been added. Simply stir the jar before first use, then store it upside down or in the refrigerator to limit separation.
How to use it on a training day?
Peanut butter is a slow-digesting food: rich in fats, it slows gastric emptying. This dictates its placement.
At breakfast, on whole-grain bread or in oat flour porridge, it stabilizes morning energy.
As a snack, between meals, paired with fruit or a protein source.
Not right before a workout. A spoon of peanut butter 20 minutes before training guarantees a heavy stomach. Allow at least two hours, or switch to fast-acting carbohydrates like rice cream.
After a workout, there's nothing to stop you from adding it to a shake, but be aware that this slows down the absorption of proteins. If you're aiming for rapid recovery, keep the shake simple and have peanut butter with your next meal.
Peanut Butter Recipes
Protein Cookies (12 pieces)
200g peanut butter, 2 eggs, 150g oat flour, 80g coconut sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, a pinch of salt. Mix the peanut butter with the eggs and sugar, incorporate the dry ingredients, form balls, flatten them with a fork, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes at 180°C. Take them out when the edges are golden but the center still seems soft: they finish setting as they cool. See also our ready-to-eat protein cookies.
Pancakes
2 eggs, 1 mashed banana, 50g rolled oats, 100ml plant-based milk, 1 tsp baking powder. Blend, let rest for five minutes, cook over medium heat. Peanut butter goes on top, not in the batter: incorporated into the mixture, it makes the texture heavy and prevents the pancakes from rising. Our protein pancakes section offers ready-to-use mixes.
Homemade Peanut Butter
500g unsalted peanuts, roasted for 10 minutes at 160°C, then blended in a food processor. The paste goes through three stages: powder, compact ball, then smooth cream. Allow 5 to 10 minutes depending on the power of the appliance and absolutely do not add oil before the end—peanuts release their own oil. An ordinary food processor heats up a lot during this operation; take breaks.
Express Savory Sauce
Two spoons of peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, a little hot water, and garlic. Whisk: you get a satay sauce that transforms a bland chicken and rice into a decent meal. To lighten the caloric load of the rest of the plate, our zero sauces make a great complement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is peanut butter good for your health?
In a reasonable portion, yes, provided you choose a jar without added sugar or oil. Its fats are mostly unsaturated, it provides fiber, magnesium, vitamin E, and potassium, and its density makes it a satiating food. One to two tablespoons per day can be easily integrated into a balanced diet, including during cutting phases if calories are counted. However, it's not a miracle food: sweetened versions or those with palm oil lose most of this benefit, and peanut allergy remains an absolute contraindication.
How much peanut butter per day?
One to two tablespoons, or 15 to 30g, are suitable for the vast majority of situations: this represents 90 to 190 kcal and 4 to 8g of protein. For bulking, three to four tablespoons spread throughout the day remain perfectly consistent; for cutting, it's best to stick to one, weighed. There is no absolute health limit—it's a food, not a supplement—but its density means that a regular excess shows up in the caloric balance before it shows up elsewhere.
Is it good to eat it every day?
Yes, without a problem, in the quantities mentioned above and unless you have an allergy. It's even one of the few dense foods that can be eaten daily without guilt: favorable lipid profile, fiber, minerals, vitamin E. Only two caveats. The first is the quality of the jar: a product with added sugar and palm oil consumed every day does not have the same consequences as a 100% peanut version. The second is variety: no single food should dominate your diet, and alternating with other sources of good fats—almonds, walnuts, olive oil—is better than perfect monotony.
Does peanut butter make you lose weight?
No food makes you lose weight, and this one less so given its density. What it can do, however, is help maintain a deficit: fats and fiber slow gastric emptying, and a weighed portion provides lasting satiety for a known caloric cost. It's a useful food for weight loss on one non-negotiable condition: weigh it. Eaten with a spoon directly from the open jar, it produces the exact opposite effect.
When to eat peanut butter?
For breakfast or as a snack, these are the two best times. Two times to avoid: within two hours before a workout, where fats can feel heavy on the stomach, and immediately after if you're looking for quick recovery, as they slow down protein absorption. Evening consumption poses no particular problem: the idea that fatty food consumed after 6 PM would be stored differently is unfounded.
How to eat peanut butter to gain weight?
By using it for what it does best: adding calories without adding bulk. Specifically, a spoonful in your morning porridge, one in your afternoon shake, one on toast as a snack: three spoons spread throughout the day represent nearly 300 additional calories that you barely notice, which is exactly the problem to solve when you struggle to eat enough. However, it does not replace a proper protein base or a well-constructed caloric surplus: see our bulking section for the rest.
How many calories in a spoon of peanut butter?
About 90 kcal for a level tablespoon, which is roughly 15g. Two spoons, the most common portion, represent 180 to 190 kcal, 7 to 8g of protein, and about fifteen grams of fat. Per 100g, it's around 600 kcal according to the Ciqual table from ANSES. The real difficulty is not the number but the measurement: a heaped spoon can easily weigh twice as much as a level spoon, and the difference goes unnoticed. If your caloric balance matters, weigh rather than estimate by eye.
What is powdered peanut butter?
It's pressed peanuts from which a large part of the oil has been removed, then reduced to powder. The result contains about 50g of protein and 8 to 12g of fat per 100g, for approximately 400 kcal: the protein-to-calorie ratio is significantly better than that of classic butter. It can be rehydrated with a little water to restore a paste-like texture, or added as is to a shaker, porridge, or pancake batter. In return, the taste is drier, and some of the unsaturated fatty acids are lost with the oil.
How to eat peanut butter?
The simplest way is on toast with whole wheat bread, or a spoonful in porridge, cottage cheese, or yogurt. It pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes: in a satay sauce, with chicken, in a curry, or on noodles. A level spoonful with an apple or banana makes a complete snack. Aim for one to two tablespoons per serving, and use a teaspoon to measure if you tend to use too much. Avoid it within two hours before a workout: fats slow down digestion.
What to make with peanut butter?
Beyond toast, three main uses cover most options. In baking, it replaces some butter in cookies, brownies, and chocolate cakes, while adding protein. For savory sauces, mixed with soy sauce, lime, garlic, and a little hot water, it makes a satay sauce in two minutes. In everyday cooking, a spoonful thickens a curry, vegetable soup, or vinaigrette. The detailed recipes higher up on this page cover protein cookies, pancakes, and the homemade version.
What is the best peanut butter?
The one whose ingredient list is limited to "100% peanuts," possibly with salt. This is the only criterion that truly differentiates two jars at the same price: above 95% peanuts, you have real peanut butter; below 90%, sugar and added oil take over. The rest—smooth or crunchy, more or less roasted—is a matter of taste. Once opened, store the jar at room temperature, away from light, and consume it within three months: unsaturated fats eventually go rancid.
What is the price of peanut butter?
The useful benchmark is the price per kilo, not the price per jar: containers range from 250g to 1kg, and a large format is almost always cheaper in use if you consume it regularly. For the same percentage of peanuts, the difference between two brands mainly depends on the origin and roasting process. A point often overlooked: a cheaper jar containing 85% peanuts is actually more expensive per kilo of peanuts, since you also pay for the added sugar and oil.
Where to buy good peanut butter?
Here, or in our store in Vendargues near Montpellier, where you can compare labels in hand. Wherever you buy it, the rule remains the same: turn the jar over and read the ingredient list before looking at the price. A true peanut butter will have one or two lines; anything more is sugar, oil, or an emulsifier. This is the only criterion that really matters, and it can be checked in three seconds.
Which blender to use for homemade peanut butter?
A food processor with a bowl, rather than a smoothie blender. The paste goes through a compact phase where it can block the blades of a less powerful appliance: count on at least 700 to 800 W and a wide bowl. A high-speed blender also works, provided you use the tamper. In all cases, proceed in cycles of one to two minutes with breaks, as the motor heats up considerably during this operation. Allow 5 to 10 minutes in total for 500g of roasted peanuts, without adding oil until the very end.
Is it a sufficient source of protein?
No, not on its own. 25g of protein per 100g is decent, but you'd have to eat 600 kcal to get a substantial portion. Peanut butter is a complement for taste and energy; the main protein intake comes from elsewhere. Additionally, peanut proteins are low in methionine and lysine, making them incomplete when consumed in isolation.
What about peanut allergy?
This is an absolute contraindication, with no exceptions and no minimum tolerable dose. Peanut allergy is one of the major allergens requiring mandatory declaration and can cause severe reactions. None of our products are suitable in this case.
Where to buy it near Montpellier
Our store in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier, allows you to compare labels side-by-side before making your choice. For this product, it's the most useful exercise: the difference between two jars at the same price can be seen in three seconds on the ingredient list. We also ship throughout France.

Questions fréquentes — Peanut Butter
Le beurre de cacahuète est-il bon pour la santé ?
Dans une portion raisonnable, oui, à condition de choisir un pot sans sucre ni huile ajoutée. Ses graisses sont majoritairement insaturées, il apporte des fibres, du magnésium, de la vitamine E et du potassium, et sa densité en fait un aliment rassasiant. Une à deux cuillères à soupe par jour s'intègrent sans difficulté dans une alimentation équilibrée, y compris en sèche si les calories sont comptées. Deux points à garder en tête : les versions sucrées ou à l'huile de palme n'ont pas le même profil, et l'allergie à l'arachide reste une contre-indication absolue.
Quelle quantité de beurre de cacahuète par jour ?
Une à deux cuillères à soupe, soit 15 à 30 g, conviennent à la grande majorité des situations : cela représente 90 à 190 kcal et 4 à 8 g de protéines. En prise de masse, trois à quatre cuillères réparties dans la journée restent parfaitement cohérentes ; en sèche, une cuillère pesée s'intègre facilement. C'est un aliment, pas un complément : il n'y a pas de limite sanitaire, seulement un bilan calorique à tenir.
Est-ce bon d'en manger tous les jours ?
Oui, sans problème, dans les quantités ci-dessus et sauf allergie. C'est même l'un des rares aliments denses qui s'intègrent quotidiennement sans difficulté : profil lipidique favorable, fibres, minéraux, vitamine E. Deux points. Le premier est la qualité du pot : un 100 % cacahuètes et un produit sucré à l'huile de palme ne jouent pas le même rôle sur la durée. Le second est la variété : alterner avec d'autres sources de bonnes graisses — amandes, noix, huile d'olive — élargit l'apport en micronutriments.
Est-ce que le beurre de cacahuète fait maigrir ?
Ce qu'il fait, c'est aider à tenir un déficit : les lipides et les fibres ralentissent la vidange gastrique, et une portion pesée cale durablement pour un coût calorique connu à l'avance. C'est un aliment utile en perte de poids à une condition : le peser. La composition corporelle, elle, dépend du bilan de la journée.
Quand manger du beurre de cacahuète ?
Au petit-déjeuner ou en collation, ce sont les deux moments où il s'insère le mieux. À écarter de deux moments : dans les deux heures qui précèdent une séance, où les lipides pèsent sur l'estomac, et juste après si vous cherchez une récupération rapide, puisqu'ils ralentissent l'absorption des protéines. Le soir ne pose aucun problème : l'idée qu'un aliment gras consommé après 18 h serait stocké différemment ne repose sur rien.
Comment manger du beurre de cacahuète pour grossir ?
En l'utilisant pour ce qu'il fait de mieux : ajouter des calories sans ajouter de volume. Concrètement, une cuillère dans le porridge du matin, une dans le shake de l'après-midi, une sur une tartine en collation : trois cuillères réparties dans la journée représentent près de 300 kcal supplémentaires que l'on ne sent presque pas passer, ce qui est exactement le problème à résoudre quand on a du mal à manger assez. Il vient compléter une base protéique et un excédent calorique construits : voyez notre rayon prise de masse pour le reste.
Combien de calories dans une cuillère de beurre de cacahuète ?
Environ 90 kcal pour une cuillère à soupe rase, soit à peu près 15 g. Deux cuillères, la portion la plus courante, représentent 180 à 190 kcal, 7 à 8 g de protéines et une quinzaine de grammes de lipides. Sur 100 g, on tourne autour de 600 kcal d'après la table Ciqual de l'ANSES. Le point pratique est la mesure : une cuillère bombée pèse facilement le double d'une cuillère rase, donc pesez si votre bilan calorique compte.
Le beurre de cacahuète en poudre, qu'est-ce que c'est ?
C'est de la cacahuète pressée pour en retirer une grande partie de l'huile, puis réduite en poudre. Le résultat contient environ 50 g de protéines et 8 à 12 g de lipides aux 100 g, pour à peu près 400 kcal : le rapport protéines / calories est nettement meilleur que celui du beurre classique. On la réhydrate avec un peu d'eau pour retrouver une texture de pâte, ou on l'ajoute telle quelle dans un shaker, un porridge ou une pâte à pancakes. En contrepartie, le goût est plus sec et une partie des acides gras insaturés part avec l'huile.
Comment manger le beurre de cacahuète ?
Le plus simple reste la tartine sur du pain complet, ou une cuillère dans un porridge, un fromage blanc, un yaourt. Il se marie aussi bien au sucré qu'au salé : dans une sauce satay, avec du poulet, dans un curry, sur des nouilles. Une cuillère rase avec une pomme ou une banane fait une collation complète. Comptez une à deux cuillères à soupe par prise. Écartez-le des deux heures qui précèdent une séance : les lipides ralentissent la digestion.
Que faire avec du beurre de cacahuète ?
Au-delà de la tartine, trois usages couvrent l'essentiel. En pâtisserie, il remplace une partie du beurre dans les cookies, les brownies et les gâteaux au chocolat, en apportant des protéines. En sauce salée, mélangé à de la sauce soja, du citron vert, de l'ail et un peu d'eau chaude, il donne une sauce satay en deux minutes. En cuisine du quotidien, une cuillère épaissit un curry, une soupe de légumes ou une vinaigrette. Les recettes détaillées plus haut sur cette page couvrent les cookies protéinés, les pancakes et la version maison.
Quel est le meilleur beurre de cacahuète ?
Celui dont la liste d'ingrédients se limite à « cacahuètes 100 % », éventuellement avec du sel. C'est le critère qui départage réellement deux pots : au-delà de 95 % de cacahuètes, vous avez un vrai beurre de cacahuète ; en dessous de 90 %, le sucre et l'huile ajoutée prennent le relais. Le reste — lisse ou croquant, torréfaction plus ou moins poussée — relève du goût. Une fois ouvert, conservez le pot à température ambiante, à l'abri de la lumière, et consommez-le dans les trois mois.
Que trouve-t-on de beurre de cacahuète chez nous ?
Sur cette page, et dans notre boutique de Vendargues près de Montpellier, où vous pouvez comparer les étiquettes en main. La règle de lecture ne change pas : retournez le pot et lisez la liste d'ingrédients. Un vrai beurre de cacahuète affiche une ou deux lignes, et cela se vérifie en trois secondes.
Quel mixeur pour faire son beurre de cacahuète ?
Un robot ménager à bol, plutôt qu'un blender à smoothie. La pâte passe par une phase compacte qui demande de la puissance : comptez au minimum 700 à 800 W et un bol large. Un blender haute vitesse fonctionne aussi, à condition d'utiliser le poussoir. Dans tous les cas, procédez par cycles d'une à deux minutes avec des pauses, car le moteur chauffe fortement. Comptez 5 à 10 minutes au total pour 500 g de cacahuètes torréfiées, sans ajouter d'huile avant la toute fin.
Est-ce une source de protéines suffisante ?
25 g de protéines aux 100 g, c'est correct pour un aliment, et les 600 kcal qui vont avec en font un apport d'énergie autant que de protéines. Le beurre de cacahuète joue donc le rôle d'un complément de goût et de densité à côté des sources protéiques principales : les protéines de l'arachide, plus pauvres en méthionine et en lysine, se complètent bien avec celles du lait, de l'œuf ou des céréales.
Et l'allergie à l'arachide ?
C'est une contre-indication absolue, sans exception et sans dose minimale tolérable. L'allergie à l'arachide fait partie des allergènes majeurs à déclaration obligatoire et peut provoquer des réactions graves. Aucun de nos produits ne convient dans ce cas.
