Mayver's Smunchy Protein+ with 5 Super Seeds Peanut Butter

 Rating: 7/10

• 🥜 Category: Peanut, Smooth/Crunchy, Plain
• Country of origin: Australia
• Serving suggestion: Spread on unseeded toast with fresh berries and a dash of cinnamon/cardamom/ginger, or dolloped in the middle of a fresh Greek yoghurt & oat bowl (topped with heaps of tang - think lemon and blueberry)

This one is not for plain flavour enthusiasts, but if you love an adventure give it a go.

The flavour of this spread is very interesting. As usual Mayver's nails the peanut flavour intensity and salt levels, and this leans extremely savoury, but then ever so slightly sweet - like there is a very vague memory of vanilla. Maybe because it's so rich, to me this jar just begs for some acid or something zesty and fresh to pair it with.

The texture is really addictive. It's truly in the middle of smooth and crunchy, with added excitement thanks to the 5 super seeds (chia, linseed, hemp, sunflower, and pepita FYI). It's a pleasant experience akin to eating cookie dough with plenty of mix-ins, but savoury.

I won't say much about the Protein+ claim since that isn't why I bought this product, but it's worth mentioning that unlike in the Mayver's Smooth Chocolate Protein+ PB, I don't think the peanut flour took anything away from the texture or flavour.

I do really like this stuff but it gets a little bit too much a little bit too quickly. It's visiting town for a couple of weeks and taking you with them to tick off everything on the list of things to see and do and eat, sleep be damned. You need some time to do nothing and reset, but it was worth the journey (probably).
