J. Ellen Fedder
Are you dieting and feeling a bit deprived? Maybe you're a peanut butter lover, but the carbs, calories and fat of peanut butter have you avoiding your favorite spread. No worry. Walden Farms has a new product, Whipped Peanut Spread, that you're going to want to get to know. Read this food review and discover why Walden Farms Whipped Peanut Spread is the choice of dieters and worth having in your pantry or refrigerator.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Where to Find It

You can find Walden Farms Whipped Peanut Spread in the diet section of larger supermarkets. I purchased my jar from Fred Meyer. But you can also order a jar online, directly from Walden Farms, if you can't find the product locally.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Packaging

This product has a dark green label and lid, with yellow lettering. The word "peanut" stands out on the jar label, but the other words on the label front seem to be more difficult to read at a glance. Walden Farms is clearly visible on the top of the label in white script.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Purchase Price

The purchase price for Walden Farms Whipped Peanut Spread is $4.99 online, as well as in my local supermarket. You can expect to pay somewhere near this amount for a 12-ounce, 340g jar.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Nutritional Profile

You will appreciate a clear nutrition label, white on green, that's fairly easy to read. The product is manufactured by Walden Farms Inc. of Linen, New Jersey . You must refrigerate the peanut spread after opening, and it definitely contains peanuts.

Creamy, fat-free, sugar-free, calorie-free, cholesterol-free, carbohydrate-free, gluten-free, and vegan, Whipped Peanut Spread hosts quite a few claims. In addition to these claims, it has no preservatives, is sweetened with Splenda, and is 100% guaranteed.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Appearance or Unique Features

When you first open the jar, you see the look of regular peanut butter. If you sniff it, it has a faint smell of peanuts, but not a strong one. And if you dip your fingertip into it, it feels more like whipped cream than peanut butter. However, it spreads like creamy peanut butter.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Taste

Walden Farms Peanut Spread does have a slight peanut taste. But I must admit, it's a stretch--although the label claims it has a natural fresh roasted peanut flavor. There's also a bit of an after-taste with a slippery mouth-feel to it.

Whipped Peanut Spread: Personal Recommendations

I was surprised when I first tasted this product, because I was skeptical that Walden Farms Peanut Spread would have any taste at all--considering it has 0-calories, 0-fat, and 0-carbs. I fully expected it to taste like tasteless gelatin fluff. But I assure you, there is a hint of peanut. If I were to grade this product, as a diet product, I would give it a B+ for effort. At least there's a product that's making an attempt at being a diet peanut butter.

Eating Walden Farms Whipped Peanut Spread may make you feel like you're cheating on your diet. If you want a peanut butter taste without all the fat and calories, give Walden Farms Whipped Peanut Spread a try.
