Review: Wowbutter 'peanut' butter

Wowbutter Toasted Soya Spread ('peanut' butter)

Peanut-free spread that tastes just like peanut butter. Soya beans are the legume that replaces the peanuts in this alternative to peanut butter. If you're allergic to peanuts this could be a useful replacement. This stuff comes in creamy (smooth) as well as crunchy. We picked up the creamy option and it looks really convincing within the jar:



When you spoon it out you won't be disappointed either - it has that thick sticky consistency of peanut butter. The taste is is pretty good - almost exactly like peanut butter, with just a tiny hint of something like dried pea.  The texture in the mouth is softer and smoother than peanut butter, and it does have a little more graininess in the mouthfeel. 



Once you put it in a sandwich though, you'll forget this is anything other than peanut butter - you really can't tell the difference. If you're a fan of American style peanut butter and jam (jelly) sandwiches, you can now have a completely nut-free version that tastes like the real thing.

Verdict: Freenut Butter

  1. Great to find this on here - our youngest is allergic to peanuts and so we buy a case of I’M Healthy Soynut Butter from the US, which works out V. expensive to have shipped over. Looking forward to trying it - if it’s anything like the I’M Healthy we’ll be very pleased. Great blog.

    1. Thanks Richard. There's obviously more than one brand of this 'soynut' butter around then.

  2. If it helps - I developed a violent reaction to normal peanut butter about 5 yrs ago, after having eaten it for years (I'm 48 now). Up until discovering Wow Butter, I had been avoiding peanut butter and, indeed, all nut butters. Gingerly I tried WB and had no reaction at all. Converted a friend to it too. At nearly £5, I use it sparingly though.
