Sweet Truth: How Much Sugar is REALLY in Your Peanut Butter?

Sweet Truth: How Much Sugar is REALLY in Your Peanut Butter?

Let’s talk peanut butter.

That smooth (or crunchy!) spoonful of comfort has earned its place in pantries across America. But here's the sticky truth: not all peanut butter is created equal.

While many of us grew up on those classic jars, what we didn’t realize back then was just how much sugar we were spooning onto our sandwiches. Some of those big-name peanut butters? They’re packing 5+ grams of added sugar per serving — and that adds up fast, especially if you’re going in with a spoon (no judgment here).

We get it. You want that rich, peanutty flavor — maybe even a swirl of cookie dough or a dreamy drizzle of chocolate — but you don’t want your treat to turn into a sugar bomb.

That’s where we come in.

At American Dream Nut Butter, we believe you can have it all — decadent flavor, real ingredients, and low sugar. We craft our nut butters with love (and a little bit of madness), keeping added sugars super low — we’re talking 1–2 grams per serving, even in our most indulgent flavors. That means you can satisfy your sweet tooth without the sugar crash.

How do we do it? It’s all about:

• Premium ingredients – think high-quality nuts, natural sweeteners, and drool-worthy mix-ins.

• Smart swaps – we use sweeteners like erythritol and monk fruit to bring the flavor without the spike.

• Obsession with balance – because what’s indulgence if it doesn’t also fuel you?

Whether you’re crushing a lift, chasing toddlers, or just craving something really good on toast, we’re here to deliver flavor that’s fun, not full of junk.

So the next time you grab a jar, flip it over and take a peek at that label. If sugar is in the top three ingredients… you might want to rethink that spread.

Or just skip the drama and stick with the dream. 😉
Low sugar, high vibe, full flavor.
That’s the American Dream.
