GOOD!
Summary
We loved three things about this dark chocolate peanut butter - creamy and smooth texture, fresh flavor of roasted peanuts and commendable spreadability. The ingredient list could have been better.
Add it to a smoothie, spread it on a toast or just eat a spoonful out of the jar – peanut butter is fast becoming a must-have on the breakfast table. These are a good source of protein and healthy fats too.
With numerous brands popping their versions of peanut butter, using different sweeteners, textures and varied protein content, it is hard to choose the one that fits your needs. That’s where Mishry steps in.
We picked up the dark chocolate variant by MuscleBlaze. All details about taste, texture, ingredients and nutrition-label in our MuscleBlaze High Protein Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter review.

Our Review Factors
What were we looking for? A creamy peanut butter with a pronounced roasted peanut and dark chocolate flavor. Claims about its protein content were checked as well.
To review the MuscleBlaze High Protein Peanut Butter, we checked for the following –
1. Taste
We checked for two things primarily – the fresh flavor of roasted peanuts and the intense flavor of dark chocolate.
The balance between these two ingredients and sweetness levels were checked as well.
2. Texture (Consistency + Spreadability)
The peanut butter is labeled as creamy. We were looking for a smooth textured PB with impressive scoopability, creamy consistency and easy spreadability.
3. Ingredients + Nutrition Label
MuscleBlaze’s PB claims to be high on protein and that’s what we checked for. Fats and sugar were also put under scrutiny. Ideally a creamy peanut butter provides anywhere between 8 gms of protein. What about this one?
A clean list of ingredients with no preservatives and additives is what we were looking for. What is this PB made of?
