A composition and method for manufacturing nut butters that are resistant to oil separation. The composition may comprise one or more nut butters, konjac fiber, water, a secondary fat, and flavorings. The ingredients are preferably blended via low-shear mixing. The konjac fiber may be derived from corm konjac and may also take the form of a konjac flour.

Described herein is a food that is suitable for use as a shelf stable nut butter based spread. The food has a protein content of at least 25% by weight, and a nut butter content of at least 50% by weight. The food retains a desirable eating experience, similar to a natural nut butter spread or a stabilized nut butter spread despite having a high protein content.

Described herein is a food that is suitable for use as a filling or topping for a shelf stable snack. The food has a protein content of at least 25% by weight, and a nut butter content of at least 50% by weight. The food retains a desirable eating experience, similar to a stabilized nut butter spread despite being resistant to melting and deformation during shipping, handling, and storage.

Provided are edible emulsions that can be used as smoothies, creamers, syrups or other products to be used in food or consumed directly. The emulsions contain relatively high amounts, such as 10%-50% by weight of a protein composition, such as one or more of nut butters, whey, and, optionally, collagen, and very low amounts of a surfactant, typically less than 2%, such as less than 1.5%. The resulting emulsions are stable and have large particles in the range of about 3 μm, 4 μm or 5 μm to 10 μm or 15 μm. As a result, the emulsions have a creamy consistency.

A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition, and retards the rate of oxidation thereof.

A modified peanut butter composition is provided that includes natural peanut butter, hard butter, and silica gel or fumed silica. The modified peanut butter can also include maltodextrin and canola oil. A method of producing a modified peanut butter composition is also provided. The method includes heating a natural peanut butter to a temperature of at least 140° F., adding a hard butter to the natural peanut butter, mixing a silica gel or a fumed silica with the hard butter and natural peanut butter until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, and mixing the homogeneous mixture until the temperature is in the range of 115° F. to 130° F.
