I mean, besides me?
With well more than 50 years of eating peanuts and peanut butter, I was diagnosed with a tree nut allergy and peanut butter allergy and have not been able to eat peanuts or peanut butter for several years now. When I was working at home, I often had a lunch that was a small bowl of oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter stirred into it – and when I say often, I mean almost every day.
And then that ended.
Until recently.
Enter WOWBUTTER. WOW.
Anybody else ever have this? It is a peanut-free, soy-based product. It's not necessarily Jif or Skippy, but to me, it's like one of those natural peanut butters you can buy that may need to be stirred if the oil separates. My first jar never did, but after I opened it when it came in (Amazon order), I ate it quickly. The 2nd jar sat in the pantry for awhile, and it had separated a little, but a quick stir with my knife as I was making a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and it was great.
It spreads extremely well, it tastes great, has slightly more calories than peanut butter (200 versus 190 for the same quantity), and almost the same proteins, etc.
NOTE – I am not one of those soy type people. My daughter is a vegetarian and she eats those crappy soy burgers since Duff. I grilled them for her on the grill, and have tasted them, and they're just not good. I tried a Burger King Impossible Burger, and it wasn't good, but there burgers are good either, so maybe take that one with a grain of salt.
But this is different. The ingredients are "Whole Toasted Soy, Pressed Soy Oil, Cane Sugar, Palm Oil (Sustainable), See Salt. That's it. Nothing else. I don't know if it's the roasting/toasting, or what that does it but it is really, really good. I went through a jar (1.1 pounds) so quickly because I had not had it in such a long time it was such a treat. I'm slowing down now, but it still tastes great.
4.8 stars on Amazon. Comes with stickers if you have kids/grandkids that bring their lunch to school, and they are in one of those schools that prohibits peanuts or peanut butter, showing it is peanut free.
((Note--I can't eat sunflower butter, because I'm also allergic to sunflower seeds and sunflower oil. I'm also allergic to oatmeal. Now can you see why I'm so excited with this newly discovered find??)
