The Best Spread?

I love Protein Bread for breakfast, and I have a number of favourite spreads to choose from each morning, depending on what I feel like. So which one is best for me? Well in the end, it depends on what else I plan on eating for the rest of that day. The other main point below is I have also not taken saturated vs. non-saturated fats into account.
These are all good choices, so I decided to compare their nutritional values on a table:




Vegemite
Cocopure
Mayvers
RDPB
SERVING SIZE
5g
10g
20g
15g
PROTEIN
1.3g
0.9g
3.7g
3.6g
CARBOHYDRATE
Less than 1g
2.9g
6.3g
1.4g
FAT
Less than 1g
4.4g
10g
8g



And here they are, if serving sizes were identical:


Vegemite
Cocopure
Mayvers
RDPB
SERVING SIZE
5g
5g
5g
5g
PROTEIN
1.3g
0.45g

Less than 1g
1.45g
1.58g
0.47g
FAT
Less than 1g

Cocopure


I'm really excited about cocopure. My neighbour gave it to me as a gift in return for looking after her apartment while she was away recently. I dipped into it straight away, and I think I've found my new favourite thing!

Cocopure has the consistency of nutella, and is generally considered as a mix of raw coconut oil and cocoa. It has a sweet bite, but has no added sugar! I find it especially satisfying on a nice piece of seeded toast, in the afternoons when I am having that chocolate / sweet thing craving.

My trainer Joe even approves! (And he can be a tough customer...)

You can buy it online, and also at health food stores (I go to 'Health Nuts' in the small shopping centre underneath the Coca Cola sign in Kings Cross.)
