Spreads: they’re tasty, convenient and so damn versatile, that you just have to love them. When it comes to “healthy snacks food” spreads aren’t always something that comes to mind. We know of protein bars (the classic), and most of us are familiar with the various variants that have progressed in recent years (cups, cookies, brownies and salted snacks), but how many of us remember to reach for the spread when we’re looking for a little nutrition kick?
Here are some great spreads for you to consider next time you're looking for something to flavour up your daily routine.

Okay, we know what you’re thinking – why would I eat powdered peanut butter when I already have the real thing? Better yet, what would I even do with powdered peanut butter? Well, the answer is that by extracting the natural oils from roasted peanuts and then grinding them into a powder, the powder contains 85% less fat, and less calories than the traditional alternatives. So, sprinkle PB2 into your smoothies, into spreads, or on any treat to get the rich peanut butter tastes with less of the stuff you don’t want.
