Why do we love Nutella? Aside from the fact that it goes well on just about anything (Ever made a Nutella pita? I have!), we love its sugary, chocolate-y goodness. Unfortunately, Nutella doesn’t love us back. Its high sugar content and artificial ingredients can do a number on our waistlines.
Enter Rawtella: Nutella’s healthier, vegan counterpart.
Although it is not made by the same company as Nutella, it’s clear that Rawtella is trying to mirror everyone’s favorite chocolate hazelnut spread (Even the labels look similar.)
Rawtella is made of three ingredients: organic cocoa, coconut sugar crystals, and organic hazelnuts. It is significantly lower in carbohydrates (7g vs. 22g per serving) and sodium (0mg vs. 15mg per serving) making it a much healthier Nutella alternative.
As much as I support eating healthy, organic foods, I’m hesitant to trade in my beloved Nutella. Plus, at $15 a jar, it’s not easy on the wallet (especially if you’re like me and go through 2 jars a month…)
What do you think? Would you be willing to try a healthier version of Nutella?

Hmm… maybe.
Are they allowed to use the “-tella” and similar branding?

At $15 a jar? Probably not. Maybe once, just to see what it tastes like… but the price is still outrageous, to me. I love Nutella. I only get it once every few months. So, I might as well stick to the high sugar one that’s delicious. If I had it more often, then maybe I’d be more interested.

I wonder if it tastes the same. Nutella is love. I always buy a huge ass jar and it lasts me like half a year haha. I dont eat it that much because I always indulge too much. I would try it but 15 bucks is a lot.

Why? Just why?

Yum, I’ll have to try it. $15 does seem a bit much, though. Maybe if I find it on sale.

I buy Nutella knowing that it’s not healthy. That its a decadent chocolate-y goodness that I can spoil myself with. So no, I won’t be buying this lol. Nutella isn’t even that horrible for you so I can’t justify spending 15 bucks on a vegan version.

@twenty_twenty_surgery@datingish - it seems all of a sudden lately people act like nutella is a new thing. i knew it was an italian peanut butter that was very dark because i used to watch giada de laurentiis show “everyday italian” all the time, lol. i still have yet to try it though!

Vegan chocolate spread has been around for a long time, and at muuuuuch cheaper prices. The one I buy is actually cheaper than Nutella :3

Sounds great!
