    I do! Sometimes a spoonful (I always weigh it usually 18-20 grams) by itself for dessert lol

    I have Nutvia - a sugar free version that tastes the same. Love it on protein pancakes

    Funny, just bought some yesterday and made a small sandwich for a snack with glass of milk.

    Nutella is one of the things that I find easy to moderate. The flavor is concentrated so a little bit goes a long way, especially when I spread it on bread. I usually use about 80 calories worth (sometimes 100) and I'm fine, which is odd because only a couple of years ago it was one of my "can't stop" foods. I'm not sure what changed.

    Not nutella, but I do eat justin's chocolate hazelnut blend which is a similar product.

    I eat it, but must weigh it so I don't go overboard. I like 1 serving, microwaved a bit then dip my apple slices in it. Yummy!

    I used to be the same, but now all of a sudden for no reason at all I have magically conjured the ability to moderate it. I still rarely buy it because of palm oil (which is a shame), but yeah.

    Yep it’s yummy! Goes well with peanut butter too (big cardio days only though!).

    Shame they don’t do a palm free version though.

    I grew up eating Nutella. Still love it, but I don't buy it as often anymore because I have a hard time putting the jar down.

    The nuttvia I have is also palm oil free - perhaps worth looking out for, if they expand to the states?

    I grew up eating Nutella. I don't eat it anymore at all, because I discovered Nutiva!

    You looked up nutiva.... Different to nuttvia (I misspelt it the first time, without a double T)

    It has a lot less sugar, but similar carbs - not sure if they'd be counting the sugar alcohols in that as they aren't mentioned anywhere else on the nutrition panel

    I doubt they have it here, but I will keep an eye out. From what I read the taste is very similar to Nutella which is a big selling point because "childhood tastes" die hard. I wish they also made a sugary version (and sold it here). When calories are close I would rather go for the sugar than for the sweetener because some sweeteners give me stomach upset and I'm hyper sensitive to the taste of others which can ruin the experience (can detect stevia in a heartbeat no matter how much you dilute it).

    I often have issues with sugar alcohols, but don't with this - perhaps because I only have small amounts? I don't detect any funky taste either - I know that's a personal thing though!
