I for one love my peanut butter. I don't eat much of it, usually around tablespoon before bedtime for all the healthy fats, which slow my digestion and prevent catabolism overnight. I swear, that's why I do it, not because it tastes ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS (which it does.) In the last year I've switched entirely to natural peanut butter, and I must say that the transition hasn't been hard at all. Sure, natural peanut butter may not have the sweetness of the normal stuff, but after a few days of eating it you definitely DON'T miss the sugar. And I'm serious about that. I had a little bit of normal skippy the other day and it almost made me stick my tongue out it was so artificial tasting. Once you go natural, you never go back.
Today I'm here to pay my respects to a peanut butter a step above the rest. Its name?
"Dark Chocolate Dreams" by Peanut Butter & Co.
Oh god, is this stuff amazing. It is the ultimate combination of two fantastic tastes: Dark chocolate, and natural peanut butter. Once this stuff hits your tongue you'll literally be taken back in awe, and I'm really not joking. And to top it all off, this stuff is natural! AWESOME!!!
Dark Chocolate Dreams is a no-stir natural peanut butter, which while some may argue makes it a "false" natural peanut butter, I'd like to voice my rebuttal by saying the package lies about it being completely no-stir, for the oil WILL separate if you let it sit for a while. Yes, there are a few more ingredients than just peanuts (like cocoa for starters...mmmmm...), so I will concede and say this peanut butter is "semi-natural." But you know what this peanut butter doesn't have??
IT HAS NO HYDROGENATED OILS OR HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!
That is truly amazing. That means that this stuff really has zero trans fat (peanut butter is famous for trans fat, which is the ultimate killer when it comes to unhealthy things), and also has no high fructose corn syrup (which your body almost ALWAYS stores as fat because of its chemical composition.) So is this peanut butter healthy? Hey, it fits into my diet no problem, and that's saying something. And believe me, it's a LOT better than plain ol' Jif.
Here is the nutritional information for Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter:
Peanut Butter and Co. definitely has my future business. They also have a few other fantastic flavors I'd like to try, like Crunch Time, White Chocolate Wonderful, Mighty Maple, The Heat is On, and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Want a change from your boring ol' peanut butter? Head to the store and pick up some of PB&Co.'s product right now, I would definitely recommend Dark Chocolate Dreams. Overall rating? 9.5/10 (cause nothing's perfect, but this is darn close.)
See? Dieting can be fun! Tasty too...=]
GOOD LUCK!!!
