🧠 Summary
Gina Creamy Peanut Butter (~370 g) is a creamy peanut spread with a high peanut and energy content, which makes it a sweet and healthier alternative to other spreads thanks to its vegetable fats and protein content. It’s ideal on bread or as an addition to sweet dishes and fitness recipes, but given its high energy content, it’s recommended to consume it in moderation.
