Whole Earth Protein Crunch Peanut Butter Has Pea Protein Pieces

— March 23, 2024 — Lifestyle
Whole Earth Protein Crunch Peanut Butter from the Ecotone-owned brand is a limited-edition product crafted with nutritional preferences and texture in mind.

The peanut butter is formulated with whole roasted peanuts and no added sugar to give it a natural profile, while the incorporation of crispy pea protein pieces offers texture and additional protein. The product is thus reported to have 10% more protein than regular crunchy peanut butters to give it a competitive nutritional edge over the competition. Shoppers in the UK can pick up the product at Morrisons in 340-gram jars for £3.99.

Brand Controller Nicola Turner spoke on the Whole Earth Protein Crunch Peanut Butter saying, "While two-thirds of shoppers understand the benefits of eating more protein, peanut butter is still considered more of a treat…Great starts to the day begin with a breakfast that delivers both high protein and fibre and no sugar – which is just what you get with Whole Earth Protein Crunch.”
