I've been DYING to try Better n'Peanut Butter! I didn't realize they sold it at TJ's (SCORE), so I snagged some last week.
I am OBSESSED with nuts butters. No lie. Look at my stash.
I have PB in my morning oats - the Smart Balance. You see, I work at a headquarters for a local grocery store chain and I don't think they'd appreciate me whipping out the TJ's nut butter as I eat my breakfast. They don't realize I never shop at their stores because they're insanely expensive, and if I'm gonna go big, I'd rather spend that money at TJ's and Whole Paycheck.
At home I use the Almond Butter and TJ's PB, and now....Better n'PB! And for the record - it's not better tasting necessarily (IMO), but it does boast awesome stats:
Serving Size 2 tbsp (32.0 g)
Calories: 100
Calories from Fat:18
Total Fat: 2.0g
Sodium: 190mg
Total Carbohydrates: 13.0g
Sugars: 2.0g
I think the taste lends itself to a....coffee flavor? Am I nuts? (hahaha) It's not good or bad, just like me - different. Overall I like the stuff, but I'm not giving up my regular nut butters! Especially in the morning with breakfast....they just keep me fuller for longer.

Not Better. Just Different.
Do you hoard a particular kind of food? Obviously I hoard nut butters, but I always have a huge stash of yogurt in my fridge at all times: Blueberry/Strawberry/Peach Chobani, TJ's Organic French Vanilla, TJ's Greek Style Honey (sooooo insanely delish!), just to name a few.
Hope ya'll have a great weekend! I'm off to visit my friend in Louisville - I'm going to a winery for only the 2nd time in my life. For a girl who doesn't really like wine, this could be really good - or really, really bad.

I love nut butters too! We have 3 jars currently in the pantry: regular, cookie dough, caramel apple.... soooo good!
I didn't really like the Better'n PB. Maybe mixed into something, I would. I tried it just by itself on a spoon.
I don't know if this is the same thing, but I always need to have a jar or two of salsa in the house at all times.
I am a terrible food hoarder. It is a bad habit I am trying to break. Sigh.
I've heard mixed things about the Bettern'n PB. I have some waiting for me in NY to try. I hoard bars...big time. I have loads of them which I am trying to use up, but my bag of Clif bars is like Mary Poppin's bottomless bag! I also have a habit of trying something once, loving it and going out and majorly stocking up when it's on special offer. Then I get sick of it and never want to eat it again. Which is why my cupboard is full of Udon noodles and my freezer is full of felafel!
hahah YES I completely agree with you! It is NOT better than peanut butter. It's different for sure. Incredibly, almost too sweet! I wouldn't eat it by itself, but baked into goods is perfect. (I stash tonnes of food in my pantry, particularly BEANS and cereal. hahahah)
I have the same almond butter you have and I really like it. I usually eat it on a piece of toast as a prerun snack though. I need to try it in my morning oatmeal.
I agree! It doesn't taste bad...but not better...but still good! I also keep about 5 different ones at home and mix it up! What else do I hoard...does gum count? Haha I need to kick that addiction one of these days.
I used to eat better 'n pb all the time and loved it. I think I got burned out on it b/c all I've wanted lately is plain ole pb.
I definitely hoard! I just bought 3 boxes of kashi h2h cinnamon cereal b/c I'm afraid they'll discontinue it or something!! Oh and it was on sale...
I have to have a certain amount of yogurts, fruit, veggies, nut butters, and bread for me to feel ok about my food supply.
Hoping this comment shows up this time! Hope you've been having a great Friday Holly!! :)
hmmm haven't tried this yet, but I love the idea of 100 cals for 2 tbsp! However...I'm sure the taste suffers as a result. I will have to take a look. Enjoy your weekend girl!
we have a lot of nut butters, too, and whole grains.
ahh nut butters really do make the world go round don't they? seriously they do.. .I'll be doing a giveaway for one in the next few weeks...sigh...mmmmmm tasty
Hey Holly,
Thanks for the comment on my blog today (9/30). Just wanted to clarify that the Garmin training software is not compatible with Vista. I downloaded Sporttracks software and it seems to be really cool. Get the watch and download Sporttracks, you will not regret it.
I hope you had fun with your friend!
I love that we share a love for nut butters. Yum :) And I love Better n'Peanut Butter! You're right- it's not BETTER THAN, it's just super-yummy!
