Powdered Peanut Butter vs Roam Energy Nut Butter
If you’ve searched for a lighter way to enjoy peanut butter, you’ve probably come across powdered peanut butter. It’s low in calories, easy to store, and gives you peanut flavour without the heaviness of traditional nut butter.
But if your goal is long-lasting energy for a run, hike, or just a busy day — powdered PB might not go the distance. That’s where Roam Energy Nut Butter comes in: a ready-to-eat pouch made from almonds, cashews, and real ingredients like coconut, espresso, and dark chocolate.
Both have their place — here’s how they compare, and how to choose what works for you.
What Is Powdered Peanut Butter?
Powdered peanut butter is made by pressing peanuts to remove most of the oil, then grinding them into powder. To use it, you mix it with water to make a spread, or stir it into smoothies, oats, or baking.
Why people like it:
-
Lower in calories and fat than regular peanut butter
-
Convenient for adding to shakes or recipes
-
Light peanut flavour without heaviness
What’s missing:
When you take out the oil, you also lose some of the nutrient density (many vitamins and antioxidants are fat-soluble) and satiety — meaning it’s less filling and often needs other foods to become a balanced snack.

What Is Roam Energy Nut Butter?
Roam Energy Nut Butter was created for real energy, not just flavour. Each pouch blends almonds and cashews with natural additions like espresso, coconut, or dark chocolate — designed to be eaten straight from the pack or paired with fruit, toast, or oats.
Per 27 g pouch:
-
~165 calories
-
4 g plant protein
-
15 g healthy fats (long-lasting fuel)
-
1–4 g sugar (depending on flavour)
It’s portable, satisfying, and made for moments when you need steady energy, for example pre-workout, camping, mid-hike, post-run, or ping ponging between meetings.
Roam Energy Nut Butter comes in a variety of flavours and is made with a premium blend of almonds and cashews. These handy single serve nut butter pouches are great for on-the-go.
