Healthy Peanut Butter from Canada: Why FATSO Stands Out

For years, fat was seen as something to avoid. But today, nutrition science tells a different story—especially when it comes to healthy peanut butter. Certain fats—known as functional fats—are essential to our health. These fats help fuel the body and support the brain. In addition, they help us feel fuller, longer.

FATSO is built around this idea. It’s a Canadian-made healthy peanut butter that goes beyond the basics by combining dry-roasted peanuts with a blend of MCT oil, organic coconut oil, chia seeds, ground flax, and tapioca fibre.

FATSO was created for modern eaters. Whether you follow a plant-based diet, need steady energy, or want to make smarter food choices, it fits your goals without compromise.

Functional fats are fats your body can use—not just store. Unlike heavily processed oils or low-quality fillers, functional fats deliver energy, helping absorb fat-soluble vitamins, regulating blood sugar, and supporting hormonal balance. While traditional fats often get a bad reputation, functional fats are becoming widely recognized as essential building blocks in a healthy diet.

FATSO includes functional ingredients not just for the sake of the label—but because they perform. MCT oil, derived from coconuts, is metabolized quickly by the liver, making it a reliable source of fast, steady energy. As a result, it’s especially beneficial for individuals following a ketogenic or low-carb diet, as it provides energy without a spike in blood glucose.

Coconut oil is another key ingredient. It gives FATSO its creamy consistency and adds stable, plant-based saturated fats. Additionally, chia and flax seeds enhance the nutritional profile with fibre, plant protein, and omega-3 fatty acids—essential fats the body can’t produce on its own. Finally, tapioca fibre acts as a natural binder and a source of prebiotic fibre, supporting digestive health without the use of added sugars or artificial sweeteners.

In comparison, most commercial peanut butters—while tasty—are formulated for shelf stability and cost, not nutrition. That often means added sugar, salt, palm oil, and hydrogenated fats. FATSO is a truly healthy peanut butter, created to transform a familiar pantry item into a high-performance, nutrient-dense food.

Each jar of this healthy peanut butter is:

• Made with real, recognizable ingredients
• Free from palm oil and artificial stabilizers
• Naturally high in healthy fats and fibre
• Certified vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO
• Crafted with no added sugar or synthetic sweeteners

Because of that, it’s not just a niche health food—it serves people looking for everyday nutrition with more impact.

Furthermore, FATSO Peanut Butter fits many lifestyles—from busy professionals to athletes, parents, and students. It fuels long days at the office, powers post-workout recovery, and satisfies as an afternoon snack. Because it’s high in healthy fat and fibre and contains no added sugar, this healthy peanut butter supports a slower release of energy—helping reduce cravings and maintain focus.

For individuals following a ketogenic, paleo, plant-based, or clean eating lifestyle, FATSO Peanut Butter checks all the right boxes. But even for people with no special dietary needs, FATSO appeals as a smarter, more satisfying option compared to conventional spreads.

Its high-fat, low-sugar formulation makes it ideal for anyone managing their blood sugar or looking to avoid refined ingredients without sacrificing flavour or texture.
