  • Is Nutella better?

    • +7

      subjective, but taste wise 1000% yes

    • I recently bought it to try. It's not bad, but not as good as what I thought it'd be. No comparison at all to Nutella.

  • +3

    ZERO palm oil, but heaps of maltitol and crappy seed oils. Atrocious stuff.

      How stupid do you have to be to downvote an informational post about how bad a foodalike is? Well done, halfwit.

      • +2

        Someone who works for Nuttvia clearly lol

        • what's matitol and crappy seed oils do?

      • How stupid do you have to be to realise your post wasn't very informative?

        • -3

          Yeah, it's for people with a skerrick of a clue. Probably the wrong audience, you're right.

            @mickeyjuiceman: lol
            My point was that people can read the ingredients.
            I have no idea what maltitol and how bad oils in it are.

            Calling it crappy and atrocious is not that informative…
            Calling me a halfwit for not knowing what these things are is not very nice. (I am more like a quarterwit to be honest but still..)

      I won't bother getting into what's worse, sugar or sweeteners, but my wife used to buy this. We've now switched back to Nutella/Nuttino. If you are sensitive to these types of sweeteners, this will give you dodgy guts.

      The biggest crime was removing the small amount of animal based emulsifier to make it vegan. This means you need to stir it often, but also it only has a small temperature range in which it's spreadable. Too warm and it's a sauce, too cold and it's a rock.

      • It's a crime to not support animal cruelty?

      • saucey spread > rock

      You could make the same argument about Nutella.

      Both are garbage foods.

      • Well, I clearly wasn't defending Nutella

      what's wrong with maltitol? let me guess… do my own research.. on facebook and youtube perhaps?

  • +6

    Should be called Sweetener spread - Hazelnuts 10%

    Ingredients:
    Sweetener (Maltitol, Maltodextrin, Erythritol, Steviol Glycosides), Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Coconut), Hazelnuts 10%, Fat-Reduced Cocoa Powder 7.4%, Cocoa Butter, Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Natural Flavours. Warning: Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

    • Sugar-free, fat-reduced, poop-induced.

    • Nutella contains 13% hazelnuts. 30% more than this…
      Still, look at this, then decide if it should be a regular part of your diet.

    • +1

      and Nutella should be called sugar spread…

    • +2

      Most alternative sweeteners or sweetened foods sold in supermarkets advertise stevia, monk fruit, etc but the predominant sweetener that's actually used is erythritol.

  • +1

    This stuff used to be amazing. Made in Germany. Then they started production here and it's not even the same product.
    Yes, not as much hazelnut content as the others, but it tasted amazing, they removed the Whey powder in the Australian production and it's so different, it's not even smooth anymore, it's kinda chunky.

    Here was the original they had in stores.

    • +1

      Yeah, same experience as alluded to in my earlier comment. The whey helped stabilise it and increase the spreadable temperature range. I forgot about the chunkiness. You really need to take it down to Bunnings and put it on the paint shaker to get it smooth. We've ended up just going back to Nutella/Nuttino.

      • +3

        We've gone to Pana Organics. Expensive, but we usually buy them when they are on special.

  • +1

    Nuttvia Donuts has a nice ring to it (see what I dd there)

    • +1

      I'll pay that today.
      But don't expect me to be so nice every day. :P

  • ohhh its Dairy free tooo, so i can eat it. nioce!

  • +6

    This is garbage, health-wise. Don't think it's any better than Nutella.

    The bulk is maltodextrin and oil (including coconut). Malto is a high GI carb. It isn't healthier than sucrose.

    Enjoy it if you like it (I don't mind it at all), but don't fall for the marketing - it's no better than Nutella.

    • +3

      Agree. It's slightly disingenuous (or at least easily misinterpreted) to call out the fact that it is 97% sugar free when the maltodextrin is considered high GI and is probably is no better than if the product actually had sugar, especially for diabetics.

      Seems to be the trend these days, where phrases such as sugar free or plant based are thrown around to imply that the product is somehow healthier when a lot of the times they are not

      • It's completely disingenuous. Even the palm oil claim is dodgy (as Nutella is switching, if it hasn't already switched, to sustainable certified palm oil, which they acknowledge in the fine print of their ads).

    • I think it same as diet coke vs coke comparision.

      Both are bad. But if you are trying to avoid sugar then it might be better than Nutella for you.

      • +2

        Completely different. Diet Coke is much less unhealthy - no sugar or calories.

        Nuttvia has basically identical calories, carbs, and fat as Nutella.

        • +1

          yeah true agree. If you drink coke and replace it with diet it will be quite beneficial for your health.
          Where as with this based on nutrition info replacing nutella with nutvia is unlikely to make a difference health wise.
