Teddie Super Chunky Peanut Butter
= 75%
Like the name suggests, this
peanut butter is full chunks. It’s lightly salted and the flavor is fairly mild. In between the chunks is a very smooth and runny
peanut butter. Overall a decent
peanut butter but I prefer
Teddie Smooth. Best used in recipes where you’re looking for a substantial crunch, like in a
peanut sauce.

East Wind Organic Peanut Butter w/ Sea Salt
= 85%
Strong peanut taste with a great texture. It’s not too runny and has a slightly sweet flavor. There isn’t much, but the sea salt is a great addition, one that I believe all
peanut butter brands should adopt. This is a good all-around
peanut butter, best used in something like
pancakes or in
peanut sauce for a full peanut flavor.
East Wind Crunchy Peanut Butter
= 85%
Freshest peanut taste in any
peanut butter I’ve tasted. This
peanut butter is bursting with flavor and has the perfect amount of chunks. There is just a touch of salt but not actually noticeable, it almost tastes unsalted. However, the flavor is so good that the salt is not missed – I highly recommend this one. Savor it in it’s pure form – spread it on a slice of bread and enjoy.
Hey East Wind, if you happen to run into an excess of this flavor I’ll gladly take some off your hands =).
East Wind Crunchy Almond Butter No Salt
= 75%
I love almonds but not many almond butters have been able to impress me. In fact, the only one I’ve liked is
Naturally Nutty’s Vanilla flavor. This is the first plain almost butter I have enjoyed. It isn’t like a crunchy
peanut butter, the chunks are very small and it is more like a coarsely ground nut butter than a chunky one. It is filled with flavor and considering it’s “no salt” I actually enjoyed it. Highly recommended for almond butter fanatics.
East Wind Cashew Butter No Salt
= 75%
Big surprise here. I don’t like cashews. It’s the only nut that I avoid unless it’s the only one available. This nut butter, however, is wonderful. Perfectly sweet and so creamy that the texture is more like actual butter. This is one nut butter where the salt is not missed. Uses to be determined but initial tastings would suggest using this for an ultra creamy cashew butter and jelly sandwich.
Fitnutz Regular = 70%
A new competitor to the beloved
PB2. This is basically identical to PB2, being a 12% fat peanut flour and has 50 calories per 2 tablespoon. I have yet to mix this with water to make a “low calorie
peanut butter“, personally I don’t even care to try it. The fat in
peanut butter is what makes
peanut butter so healthy and tasty. My favorite uses for this is to thicken sauces or oatmeal along with some regular
peanut butter.
Fitnutz Chunky
= 70%
This is a great alternative to
PB2 when you just need some chunkiness. This has about 10 more calories per serving than regular due to the actual peanut chunks in this 12% fat peanut flour. Also great to thicken oatmeal and add a few chunks.
Fitnutz Pro
= 70%
This variety also has 10 more calories than the regular variety due to the higher amount of fat left in this peanut flour. Standard commercial peanut flours are 12% and 28% fat. This variety is a little more than 28% fat yet still much lower in fat compared to regular
peanut butter. There is a much richer taste than the other varieties and comes closer to tasting like regular
peanut butter. The darker color is most likely due to roasting the peanuts or the flour prior to packaging to enhance the flavor. This is better for smoothies and shakes because of the higher fat content and stronger flavor.
