  • Clean two-ingredient formulation
  • Naturally sweet peanut flavor
  • Smooth, no-separation texture
  • Charming reusable glass packaging
  • Runny smooth texture
  • Not ideal for baking
  • Limited flavor variants
  • Plastic jar lid concern

One Trick Pony earns standout reviews and proves itself a genuinely good peanut butter brand, praised for clean two-ingredient formulas, rich natural sweetness from Argentinian peanuts, and a smooth, no-separation texture. Reviews also flag trade-offs: smooth can run thin, the product isn’t ideal for baking, and flavor differences versus standard peanut butter aren’t universally perceptible, while limited flavor variants (like no-salt crunchy) are missing.

  • Really amazing peanut butter - great on toast, in yogurt bowls, etc.

  • I just got the maple crunch peanut butter from one trick pony, and it is delicious!! It's definitely on the sweeter side, but the crunchy pieces in it make it a fabulous sweet treat. its great as part of a PB&J!

  • I first experienced OTPs amazing peanut butter on a trip to Washington D.C. (snuck a couple of jars back home in my case) in April and fell in love with it. Very high quality, fabulous taste and no nasty stuff. Then I found myself at a loss when it was running out and whilst OTP don't traditionally ship to me (I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland), OTP (Lucy, you're awesome) provided the best customer experience ever and my 3 new jars arrived yesterday. I love this PB and I love OTP ethos and customer service even more (well almost as I just love their PB). I was so pleased, here is one jar on my walk to work this morning with Edinburgh castle in the background Thanks OTP for making the simple things in life awesome Scott

  • SO GOOD!! I thought peanut butter was the universal standard taste until trying this peanut butter. It honestly tasted 10x better than regular-store peanut butter. Also- love that its so clean just 2 ingredients! The crunchy one is amazing, and I will be buying this regularly. I also love the packaging, marketing, and the story behind the founders is super cute! Love that they are Argentinian peanuts + salt! It came super fast, the website was so cute and easy to order from, and the glass jars are great to reuse after!

  • Simply THE BEST peanut butter. I tested all 3 varieties and all three are fantastic. Every other brand of natural peanut butter separates in the jar - not One Trick Pony! My personal favorite is the Kinda Crunchy (so many delicious little crunchies!), but you can’t go wrong. They also have great merch! I picked up a hat and a sweatshirt.

  • As someone who eats one jar of peanut butter a night with her fingers, I have a lot of experience with this topic. You’d be surprised how much a difference one single ingredient makes. What’s most surprising is even with just these two ingredients, it has all the flavor of other brands packed with preservations or artificial sweeteners. The size of the crunchy peanuts is extremely cool and is sure to meet the demands of even crunchy naysayers - adds the perfect crunch without being too offensive. Lastly , eating the entire jar did not wreak havoc on my digestive system as expected with other brands. Even the puppy one is dank , especially if you want to pour it directly down your throat or drink it with a straw. I personally love to dip dates in the crunchy one for the perfect 3 am snack. And I also love to go on dates where all we do is dip things in peanut butter if you know what I mean

    If you’re considering the brand I don’t see why you wouldn’t just go for it. It’s healthy and has a cute container you can use as a vase after. Not to mention the founder is cute

  • Simplicity of ingredients is something I pay attention to across many categories of products I use (skincare, makeup, supplements) so when One Trick Pony came out with peanut + salt ONLY peanut butter, I wanted to try it. I tried both crunchy and smooth - both are delicious and I can't believe there's no sugar. High quality Argentinian peanuts have a natural sweetness that makes it delicious to eat on its own or spread over a rice cake (apple cinnamon + PB is a delicious dessert!!). Love it!

  • I love this peanut butter. I don't know why the Argentinean peanuts and Patagonian Sea salt make such a big difference, but they do. The product is so tasty and rich without any added oils or sugars. The on-line orders arrive in fun purple and pink boxes. I have ordered many two-packs and three-packs to use as hostess and neighbor gifts over the holidays.

    I see the no-salt is only in smooth right now. I would love to have a no-salt crunchy option.

  • I tried this PB at a Baltimore coffee shop and fell in love. The PB is smooth and delicious and the charming pastel packaging makes it even better. Im bummed that it doesn’t seem to be on shelves in any larger retailers but I plan on stocking my pantry with it soon.

  • Loved this peanut butter. I am pleased to support a small company committed to a healthy product. No added oils here, no sugar or gums. I will purchase this again for sure. I tried the kinda crunchy jar. Perfect.

  • I love this stuff! It doesn't have sugar like many smooth brands do, but it tastes fantastic!!

  • YUM. I didn't realize what I was missing out on before trying Argentinian PB. Super flavorful and a clean label - just peanuts and salt. My favorite is the kinda crunchy.

  • Received my peanut butter within a couple of days of putting in my order. The branding is great, price is competitive with other premium brands of peanut butter. The smooth PB is on the runny side, that is not a bad thing; it's perfect for mixing into yogurt or smoothies. The taste is great, sweet at the front and it gets nuttier on the finish. I will buy this product again.

  • Omg????? This is the best pb I’ve ever tasted?? How is it so smooth!? It’s just two,TWO INGREDIENTS ( salt and Argentinian peanuts) and it’s so smooth and delicious. Like yes sure it’s like 7.99 -8.99 a jar but that’s a fair price for amazing pb,in a pretty glass jar with easy removal stickers so I can reuse the jar. I made 1 sandwich and didn’t realize that I was there for like five minutes eating out of the jar with a knife,I just got this jar a quarter is already gone. Women owned too?? Buy this pb. Do it.

  • I found this brand because I’m trying to cut back on sodium, but I tried all of their flavors, and they’re all amazing. Super deep peanut flavor. They are very oily as you’d expect of natural peanut butter, but a quick mix solves it. I do think it’s the best tasting peanut butter I’ve ever had, and the no sodium one does not sacrifice on flavor. I’m totally happy to eat it. I had an issue where the packaging busted during shipping and they quickly replaced it. Definitely recommend it if you like peanut butter!

  • I really liked this product. I have it to my daughter at 10 months old.

    Love that it doesn’t have a bunch of additives. Personally love on toast

  • Amazing peanut butter brand with greaty, high-quality taste sans the messy oil separation and preservatives that exist in other brands. Love the founders, stories, and branding!

  • Well I heard about palm oil and how its actually not good for you which made me sad and angry because I had finally found a peanut butter that satisfied the tastebuds.....or so I thought...... So then my mom told me about one trick pony, and let me tell you, the blessing that was bestowed upon me the second that decadent slither of silky deliciousness touched my tastebuds, I knew i was done for. So savory, yet with the perfect touch of sweet, I was going to branch out and try a store bought palm oil free brand but um.......I won't now. I can't. What could possibly be better than this?? Pretty blown away and now im addicted. So, yeah, that happened. Mind blown.

  • I do love the peanut butter, the branding, the story, etc, but I don’t know if I will purchase again. The marketing states that they import peanuts from Argentina, and that these peanuts make sweeter peanut butter. That’s what excited me enough to buy almost $50 of peanut butter while I was doomscrolling social media. But when I taste this side by side with Kirkland Peanut Butter, I honestly can’t taste the difference. Love the idea, but it was lost on me.
