Health – Dr Zaks High Protein Peanut Butter Review

It wasn’t that long ago I was whinging about not being able to get enough protein into my diet. The guys over at Blend Bros have helped with their protein sauces but I am always on the look out for something that will satiate my sweet tooth. Then I was introduced to the latest in the Dr Zak’s line and, let me tell you, they may be a game changer.

I am a huge peanut butter addict and love nothing more than a spoonful in my morning smoothie for that creamy nutty hit to get me through the day. The range from Dr Zaks contain 36g of protein per 100g which is around 25% more than regular peanut butter. This is thanks to the addition of Vegetarian Society approved whey protein isolate which is also partially hydrolysed to help it absorb into the body quicker.

As you can see above they are also ridiculously smooth making them great for adding into recipes and I plan to make some protein flapjacks with them soon, I’ll share the recipe when I do.

I thought they may taste a bit powdery like protein products have a tendency to do but they don’t, just peanut butter and obviously the added flavours which come from natural fruit extract rather than artificial sweetener. The fresh smell of raspberries hit you the second the lid is removed from the raspberry variety although the salted caramel hasn’t got much of a taste difference to regular peanut butter other than that it is slightly sweeter. They also come in apple and cinnamon, cherry bakewell and white chocolate and coconut, I can’t wait to try them all, I love the different flavours to the norm and you can also pair them with Dr Zaks protein bread or bagels for the ultimate protein hit of a morning. Can you think of a better way to fuel your morning workout?

You can buy them from Muscle Food for £6.99 per 450g jar.
