This is SUCH a tasty spread that tastes, to my surprise, so much like peanut butter!! My kid's day care called and I needed to take her to hospital - I had to quickly pack all the food because of the wait times, and this was the perfect hospital safe snack that my daughter devours. I can't recommend this product enough - for all families.

OMG I didn’t believe this until I tried it, very tasty and delicious. The kids didn’t notice the change either. I love that it’s the healthy option without the added sugar and nasty additives. I recommend you give it a go! Try with strawberry jam or just on toast either way very yummy!!!

The easy go to spread for the kids lunches that you and the school will approve of!
PeaNOT Butter spread is a godsend in our house. It is a seamless substitute for the peanut butter sandwiches my kids enjoy at home but are not allowed to take to school due to a no nut policy. They enjoyed all their usual spreads with it - banana, honey and jam as well as the halzelNOT choc spread. It made school lunches an easy no brainer and I felt good giving the kids a spread that was made from healthy chickpeas. Both my kids said they noticed a difference in taste from our usual peanut butter but liked it and made no fuss over it appearing in their lunchboxes. I would definitely recommend this spread!

My family loved this spread, they couldn't even tell it wasn't peanut butter. Mu husband was caught eating it by the spoonful and he's not normally a fan of chickpeas. My kids have requested this for breakfast lunch and dinner since we opened the jar. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

My family has tried the smooth PeaNOT butter over the last week and all like it.
Since announcing this term the kids could no longer have Peanut butter at their school (which my daughter was disappointed about), we tried out PeaNOT butter with her lunches, she has had it now nearly every day and is quite enjoying it.
Her favourite combination is PeaNOT butter and jam.
The stickers for their lunchbox are a bonus and have had teachers asking where they can buy the products from.
Definitely a hit in our family.

My son loves peanut butter and would eat it every meal of he could so it was difficult telling him peanut butter toast was out for breakfast. We have a classmate who is super sensitive and anaphylactic to peanuts so any trace affects him. VGood PeaNOT butter ticks both boxes and we really do not taste or notice a difference. In fact, its easier to spread so two thumbs up for the "softness". We've been sharing this little nugget with our fellow classmates

Although I wasn’t lucky enough to be one of the luck mouth of mum’s parents to receive a freebie for review, I was very intrigued after reading these reviews that I purchased some from the supermarket for my family and I to try. We loved it! It spread on well. The taste was great. It went well with sandwiches, toast, cruskits, ryvita and saladas. Highly recommended!

My youngest is so fussy it’s sometimes so hard to find something he will actually eat. He absolutely loved the taste, he will eat it on sandwiches or on biscuits. It was easy to spread and he likes to help cook (as he puts it). He helped spread it on his biscuit and he was so excited that he could do it. While having a sneaky finger dip.

Overall the ingredients are nice (the roast chickpeas and reast sunflower seeds, vegetable oil and sea salt; except the anti-oxidants and the sugar. I don't like to buy peanut butter, peanut butter substitutes, or chocolate spreads with sugar

My thoughts were that the product didn't have the same flavour as a peanut butter but in saying that my kids loved it. What a great alternative for those who have allergies.

My kids both enjoyed the peaNOT butter smooth trial. We've tried alternatives before and both my kids preferred the real deal with peanut butter. However, they both tried peaNOT butter on toast and they didn't blink an eye and polished it off without question or complaint. I love that this can be a spread for me during the mid term where I struggle to find things to put on their lunches. Just to flag that if you have a picky eater or a child who doesn't like to be tricked, they will likely be able to distinguish between the two. I'd be honest and let them know what it is - you never know, they may love it as much as mine did.

Our family are huge satay fans & I was so hoping that this could be an option for us but sadly, my kids weren't fans of this. It didn't quite have the taste of peanut butter.
It is a great option & would recommend anyone with a nut allergy to give it a try.

I quite liked the taste, it’s hard to believe you are eating dry roasted chickpeas. It really tastes like peanut butter without all the additives. I would eat this product on toast or sourdough, also on rice cakes. However my three kids didn’t really take to the u inquest taste.

PeaNOT Butter spread is a great alternative!. It is such a great substitute for the peanut butter, I can now pack the peaNOT butter sandwiches and celery and peaNUT butter snacks as before I wasn't able to due to their no nut policy. My whole family loved the spread!. It made lunches an easy option and I felt good giving the kids a spread that was made from healthy chickpeas. I loved using it in my protein/bliss ball recipe that I use peanut butter in! We really can't tell the difference! I would definitely recommend this spread!

We tried these delicious goodies kindly sent by for trial.
These chickpea based spreads are so tasty and even my kid’s loved it. Its good for their lunch boxes and something Mummy approves as its has iron, fibre and protein. The hazelNOT spread is my all favorite in my brekky sandwich.
The best thing is its gluten free and Nut free. Definitely a healthier choice for my family. Do give it a try and you will love it.

My children really enjoyed both flavours given to use we used it every way we normally would use peanut butter. In cookies in smoothies on toast and even on rice cakes. The kids didn’t notice a slight taste difference but overall there were some great similarities

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
The spread is free from the 14 most common food allergens, including:
