Naturally plant-based, palm-oil free and made with simple, high-quality ingredients, Freda’s proves that vegan food can be comforting, nourishing and indulgent — all at the same time.
🥜 Why Freda’s Peanut Butter Is Perfect for Veganuary
All Freda’s peanut butters are vegan by nature — not because it’s trendy, but because that’s how great peanut butter should be made.
✔ 100% plant-based & vegan friendly
✔ No palm oil
✔ No artificial ingredients or refined sugars
✔ Made with high-oleic peanuts
✔ A natural source of protein & fibre
Peanut butter is a Veganuary hero ingredient: it adds richness, protein and satisfaction to meals, helping plant-based eating feel abundant rather than restrictive.
🧡 Veganuary Comfort Food (Without the Compromise)
January can feel long, cold and a little grey. That’s why Veganuary food should still feel warming, filling and joyful. Peanut butter brings natural creaminess and depth to both sweet and savoury dishes — without the need for dairy or ultra-processed alternatives.
