I
can't call myself a big fan of peanuts, but we always have peanut
butter and peanut butter chocolates in our cupboard (thanks to my
mum). When a Peanut Hottie representative contacted me I knew nothing
about the drink itself but was very eager to try it.
Peanut
Hottie is:
- Peanut butter flavour instant hot beverage
- Made with real peanuts
- Caffeine free
- Suitable for vegetarians
- No artificial additives
- No artificial colours
- Under 100 calories per cup
- Delicious
- Price per tub (225g) £2.99
When
I have opened the tub for the first time I couldn't resist but to
sniff the powder, which had a peanutty aroma.
My
husband made the first mug and instead of putting recommended 4-5
teaspoons he put 2-3 teaspoons, it didn't look thick, but tasted very
peanutty, sweet (but not too sweet).
The
second time round I put as recommended amount which made it too sweet
and maybe slightly thicker, but I had to add more hot water as it
just didn't taste right for me. I do understand that everyone is
different but I would prefer to use 2-3 teaspoons every time as it's
tastes nicer and to preserve more of Peanut Hottie drink as if you
were to use the recommended amount it will be enough only for 4-5
mugs.
If
you would like to try Peanut Hottie, it is
available
in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose
currently - the store finder tool on the website will let you find
your local to save a wasted trip.
When
I was browsing Peanut Hottie website I also came across recipes
created by fans of this drink, I think it's a great idea but can be
costly.
Even
though I never heard of this drink before my husband and I started noticing that it is getting popular amongst our friends and work
colleagues, we spotted few people who had Peanut Hottie tubs in their
kitchen and for those who never tried this drink we offered to sample
it.
It
is a great alternative to a hot chocolate, but would be more like a
treat drink in our family due to it's price.
Recommendation:
my suggestion is purely for inventors of this drink- to make this
drink last longer maybe to use a thickening agent so that we can use
1 teaspoon instead of 4.
Disclamer: I was provided with Peanut Hottie tub for the purpose of this review. All views and opinions are honest and my own.
Ooh I love peanut butter, so this sounds fab! Bet it would be useful in baking too!
ReplyDeletePersonally not a fan of peanuts but this is pretty neat. My OH loves them I know he would like this.
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter but not sure about having it hot?!

ReplyDeleteHubby loves all things peanut butter, and I think would be willing to give this a go!
ReplyDeletei absolutely love peanut butter but i dont think i could drink it lol x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds gorgeous - even better in the winter coming in frm the cold x
ReplyDeleteHow strange I saw this is Sainsburys yesterday and pointed it out to hubby. I'm sure peanut butter fans would love it x
ReplyDeleteWe had a couple of sachets of this in our goodie bags at the UK Blog Awards - whilst I love peanut butter, I thought the drink was really sickly (at least I thought so, hubs said it wasn't too bad) I'll stick to my peanut butter on toast with strawberry jam like it's supposed to be consumed!!!
ReplyDeletei have never heard of this before and i LOVE peanut butter. Something i am going to try :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI have a sachet of this to try but haven't been brave enough yet! I do love peanut butter though.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this but wasn't sure if it would be nice or not! Maybe i'll give it a try
ReplyDeleteYum, that looks great - I really like peanut butter so would love to give this a try. Will look out for it next time I'm at the supermarket, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter so I am sure I'd really enjoy this :-) x
ReplyDeleteI have a sachet of this in my kitchen, however I don't like peanut butter or hot chocolate style drinks so I will let hubbie drink it :-)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm this sounds L.U.S.H. I think I might be treating myself to some, I;d never heard of it before!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge peanut butter fan so this sounds really nice to me. I have never heard of it until reading your blog, I might just have to treat myself to a tub to test it out lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting drink , It must taste gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a fab idea for peanut butter lovers! I like some things that are peanut based, but I think this would be a little to much for me.

I came across this drink in Sainsbury but never had a chance to try it! It looks like something worth buying, something different than usual hot chocolate :)
ReplyDeletemmmmmm peanut flavour - I've not seen this in the shops but will keep my peepers open in Waitrose!
ReplyDeletei love peanut butter, but for some reason i can't get it out of my head that i'd be the same gloopiness when mixed! i know thats not true though, haha. good that you've found a nice little alternative to hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteWow this certainly sounds different, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it in shops.
ReplyDeleteThis was shown in my slimming world group and I loved it when I tried it. It is quite expensive though when you have to use so much for each serving.
ReplyDeleteI've tried this and loved it....Yum!
ReplyDeleteI can't bear peanuts but I've read lots of great reviews of this product so it's obviously a good one if you do like peanuts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with #TriedTested
I got to test this out and have to say I wasn't impressed by it. Now if they did a peanut butter and hot chocolate drink that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteLaura x x x

I love peanut butter and am intrigued by this. Will keep my eye out for it
ReplyDeleteintriguing! I love peanut butter so I'd be interested to try this! x
ReplyDeleteI love this drink, it's become a firm favourite in my house. One tip is to use half chocolate powder and half Peanut Hottie to make a peanutty hot chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteNuts hate me but husband would love this. Fab review. Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
