You heard me!! I found this whipped peanut spread from Walden Farms at Walmart today. Servings size is 1/4 cup and has no calories, no fat, no cholesterol, and only 105mg sodium. It also has no fiber, no protein, and a really odd taste. This ain't no Skippy!! It will work great in recipes and smoothies though, so if you are brave enough...check it out!


**at the bottom it says "contains trace calories"

    I'm curious about it, but how much like peanut butter does it actually taste, for those of you that have tried it? Does it even have the thickness of peanut butter?

    What's the point of it then? No nutritional value....seems like a waste.

    Ugh, their products are disgusting! Not to mention, they're basically just jarfulls of chemicals with absolutely no nutritional value. Personally, I'd rather eat real peanut butter for the added calories than to eat some nasty stuff that's been 100% processed and probably created in a petri dish.

    If peanut butter substitutes is what you're looking for... I suggest Pb2, which is pretty much dehydrated powder-like peanut butter. OR Better 'N Peanut butter, which is about 75% less calories than regular peanut butter, and it doesn't taste too bad.

    But of course... to each their own. I'm super addicted to diet soda, which is pretty much nothing too lol but I looovveee iitttt!!!!

    It tastes a little like peanut butter...it is made out of peanuts...consistiency of peanut butter...I think you'd have to get used to it. I bought it so it will get used in recipes, but I won't buy it again. I'd rather have PB2 for 45 cals per serving

    If it didn't contain natural peanut butter extract, I would totally buy it.

    I tried their honey mustard salad dressing and it was...... odd. Only had it once, now the bottle just sits in my fridge, staring at me every time I open the door and begging for the sweet release of the waste basket, but it denied me the delicious flavor of honey mustard on my salad so I continue to deny it it's freedom.
