Shop Nut Butters at Myprotein

Nut butters are one of the most versatile whole-food staples you can keep in your kitchen. Made from ground nuts — peanuts, almonds, cashews and beyond — they pack natural fats, fibre, and protein into every spoonful, with none of the artificial additives you'd find in standard supermarket spreads. The range here covers everything from classic all-natural peanut butter to powdered formats, giving you a genuinely useful choice depending on how you eat.

Whether you're blending into a shake, spreading onto rice cakes, or eating straight from the jar, natural nut butters deliver real, recognisable ingredients with no shortcuts. Every product in this range is developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists to make sure what's in the jar is exactly what it says on the label — nothing more, nothing less.

Who Nut Butters Are For

Nut butters suit anyone who wants to add more natural, whole-food nutrition to their diet without overcomplicating things. Athletes and active people often reach for them as a straightforward way to hit their daily protein intake — protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹ — alongside the healthy fats found naturally in nuts.

They're equally well-suited to people who simply want to eat better without manufactured ingredients on the label. If you're building meals from scratch, cooking with whole foods, or looking for a more natural alternative to standard processed spreads, nut butters are a practical, everyday option that works across a huge range of eating styles.

When to Use Nut Butters

The honest answer is: whenever you like. Nut butters work at breakfast stirred through oats or spread on wholegrain toast, as a mid-morning snack with fruit, or blended into a post-workout shake to add natural fats and flavour. Their versatility is a big part of the appeal — there's no strict window, and no complicated protocol to follow.

If you're using powdered peanut butter specifically, it blends cleanly into protein shakes and smoothies without the texture of standard butter — useful when you want the flavour without the added fat content. All-natural almond and cashew butters, on the other hand, work beautifully in cooking: think sauces, dressings, and baking where a richer, creamier texture is exactly what you need.

Nut Butters Benefits

Real Ingredients, Nothing Hidden

All-natural nut butters are made from ground nuts and little else. No palm oil, no unnecessary sugar, no emulsifiers to extend shelf life. What you see on the ingredients list is what goes into your body — which matters when you're trying to eat with more awareness of what's actually in your food.

A Source of Protein

Nuts are a natural source of protein, and nut butters carry that through into every serving. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, making nut butters a practical addition for anyone who trains regularly and wants to hit their daily intake through whole-food sources rather than supplements alone.

Flexible Across Formats

From traditional jars to powdered butter, there's a format for every use case. Standard nut butters are ideal for cooking and spreading; powdered versions blend smoothly into shakes and save on calories from fat without losing the flavour. That flexibility makes it easy to work nut butters into whatever your eating routine looks like.

Naturally Rich in Healthy Fats

Nuts contain naturally occurring unsaturated fats — the kind found in whole-food sources rather than manufactured alternatives. These fats contribute to the texture and satiety of nut butter products and are a useful component of a balanced, whole-food diet.

FAQs

What are nut butters?

Nut butters are spreads made by grinding nuts — such as peanuts, almonds, or cashews — into a smooth or crunchy paste. All-natural versions contain minimal ingredients, typically just the nut itself and sometimes a small amount of salt, with no added oils, sugars, or artificial additives. They're a whole-food source of protein and natural fats, used widely in cooking, baking, and everyday snacking.

What nut butters are available?

The range includes All-Natural Peanut Butter, Powdered Peanut Butter, All-Natural Almond Butter, All-Natural Cashew Butter, and Vegan Peanut Butter Cups, among others. There are also products like Impact Whey Protein Milkshake and Breakfast Smoothie that complement a nut-butter-focused eating routine. Whether you're after a classic spread or a lower-fat powdered format, there's a practical option across different nuts and textures.

What is the healthiest nut butter?

All-natural nut butters — made from ground nuts with no added oils or sugars — are generally considered the most nutritious choice, as they preserve the natural fat, fibre, and protein profile of the nut. If you're specifically looking for a higher-protein, lower-fat option, Powdered Peanut Butter is worth considering — it's high in protein and high in fibre, making it a smart pick for those tracking macros more closely.

What's the difference between powdered and regular nut butter?

Regular nut butter is made by grinding whole nuts into a paste, retaining their full fat content alongside protein and fibre. Powdered peanut butter is made by pressing out most of the natural oils before grinding, resulting in a lower-fat powder that reconstitutes with water or blends easily into shakes. Both are made from real peanuts — the difference is texture, fat content, and how you use them.

Which nut butter should I choose?

All-Natural Almond Butter is a solid choice if you want a natural, protein-rich spread with a subtly different flavour profile to peanut butter — it's made from real almonds with no unnecessary additives. For those who blend protein shakes daily or want a lighter option, Powdered Peanut Butter mixes cleanly and is high in both protein and fibre. If you just want a reliable, everyday classic, All-Natural Peanut Butter is exactly what it sounds like.

Can I use nut butter in cooking and baking?

Nut butters are genuinely versatile in the kitchen. Almond and cashew butters work well in sauces, dressings, and baked goods where a creamy texture adds depth. Peanut butter is a staple in everything from overnight oats to energy balls and stir-fry sauces. Powdered peanut butter is particularly useful in recipes where you want the flavour without adding extra fat from a full-fat spread.

Are natural nut butters suitable for vegans?

Yes — all-natural nut butters are entirely plant-based, made from ground nuts with no animal-derived ingredients. Products like the Vegan Peanut Butter Cups are also formulated specifically with vegan diets in mind. Always check individual product labels to confirm, but the all-natural range is a straightforward fit for plant-based eating.

Who developed the nut butters at Myprotein?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop every product in the range, applying the same standards across whole-food products as they do across the broader supplement lineup. That means careful attention to ingredients, sourcing, and nutritional profile — so what's on the label accurately reflects what's in the jar.

How should I store nut butter?

All-natural nut butters, which contain no added emulsifiers or stabilisers, may separate naturally — with the oil rising to the top. This is completely normal and a sign you're getting a genuinely natural product. Simply stir before use. Once opened, store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to slow separation and maintain freshness. Powdered peanut butter should be kept sealed in a dry environment.

Do nut butters contain protein?

Nut butters are a natural source of protein — peanut butter in particular tends to have a higher protein content than most other nut-based spreads. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, making nut butters a useful whole-food addition for people who train regularly and want to build protein intake through their diet rather than supplements alone.
