Available in multiple flavors for all tastes: Hazelnut, Milk Powder, Cookies & Cream, White Chocolate, Beijinho, and others, each with its unique flavor identity and the same quality nutritional base.
Benefits
Roasted peanuts as a base: healthy fats, plant protein, and satiety: Peanuts are one of the most nutritionally complete foods. They are naturally rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (oleic acid and linoleic acid), which have documented cardioprotective properties and contribute to the reduction of LDL cholesterol without impacting HDL. They have a relevant protein content for a plant-based food (~25g/100g), with a reasonably complete amino acid profile, including arginine in significant amounts. They are also rich in dietary fiber to support satiety and intestinal transit, vitamin E as a membrane antioxidant, B-complex vitamins (especially B3/Niacin and B9/Folate), and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and potassium.
Whey protein incorporated for increased protein intake: The main difference between Dr. Peanut and conventional peanut butters is the incorporation of concentrated whey protein in both the base and the flavor cream, raising the total protein content of the product above what would be possible with peanuts alone. This addition of whey protein transforms peanut butter into a more complete protein snack, especially relevant for athletes and people with goals of increasing or maintaining muscle mass who want to maximize their intake of quality protein throughout the day.
No added sugar, sweetened with xylitol, sucralose, and acesulfame K: The entire Dr. Peanut line is formulated without added simple sugars, using a combination of three complementary sweeteners: xylitol (a low-glycemic index polyol with prebiotic and protective properties for oral health), sucralose, and acesulfame K (high-intensity, calorie-free sweeteners). This combination allows for the development of rich and complex flavor profiles without the insulin spikes and caloric intake of conventional sugars, making Dr. Peanut compatible with weight control, ketogenic, and low-glycemic index diets.
Gluten-free and trans fat-free: The Dr. Peanut line is entirely free of gluten and trans fats, two requirements increasingly valued by consumers with high nutritional awareness. The absence of gluten makes the product accessible to people with celiac disease (always checking the certification of each batch and flavor) or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The absence of trans fat is a commitment to quality that distinguishes Dr. Peanut from conventional peanut butters that use partially hydrogenated vegetable oils as stabilizers.
Creamy texture and unique flavors for long-term adherence and satisfaction: Dr. Peanut is recognized worldwide for the exceptional quality of its flavors and the creamy, homogeneous texture of its products. Each flavor is developed to faithfully recreate the taste profiles of the most popular sweets and desserts, creating an experience that satisfies sweet cravings without compromising nutritional goals. This ability to combine pleasure and nutrition is the main factor in the brand's global loyalty.

Post-workout: Combine 1 to 2 tablespoons with a carbohydrate source (banana, toast, oatmeal) to provide protein and healthy fats in the post-workout window.
