Par quoi remplacer le Nutella ? Découvrez l'Amlou, la pâte à tartiner 100% saine 🌱

What can you replace Nutella with? Discover Amlou, the 100% healthy spread 🌱

A high-quality close-up photo shows a wooden spoon dipping into an open jar of creamy, textured almond Amlou from the brand Agadir Secrets. The glass jar has a beige label with the brand logo and the product name 'Amlou aux amandes'. Several whole unpeeled almonds are scattered on a textured wooden table in the blurred background. The spoon holds a generous portion of Amlou, showing its rich consistency and visible almond bits.

We all grew up with that famous chocolate-hazelnut spread. But today, when you look at the label, the conclusion is clear: more than 50% sugar, palm oil, and very few real nutrients.

If you are looking for a healthy alternative to Nutella, one that is natural and delicious for you or your children, let us introduce you to Morocco's best-kept secret: Amlou.

The problem with industrial spreads 🏭

It is no secret anymore; classic supermarket spreads pose two major problems:

  • Blood sugar spikes: Packed with refined sugars, they cause a mid-morning energy crash.
  • Palm oil: Nutritionally poor and controversial due to its ecological impact.

It is time to switch to a spread that truly nourishes your body.

Amlou: The Berber secret to energy

Amlou is not an industrial invention; it is an ancestral Moroccan recipe used by Berber tribes to fuel up before facing the Atlas Mountains.

A metal spoon dips into the jar, lifting a generous portion of creamy, textured Amlou. Whole unpeeled almonds are scattered on a gray textured surface in the blurred background. Natural light illuminates the scene, highlighting the rich consistency of the Amlou.

Its strength lies in its extreme simplicity. At Agadir Secrets, our Amlou contains only 3 noble and natural ingredients:

  1. Roasted almonds: Rich in protein, fiber, and vitamin E.
  2. Pure argan oil: Morocco's liquid gold, renowned for its good fatty acids (Omega 6 and 9) and antioxidants.
  3. Pure honey: A natural sweetener, free of chemicals, providing just the right amount of sweetness.

Zero palm oil, zero preservatives, zero refined white sugar.

The Match: Classic spread VS Amlou

Comparative infographic between an industrial spread and Agadir Secrets almond Amlou. On the left, the classic spread shows 13% hazelnuts, 56% sugar, and palm oil. On the right, the healthy and natural Amlou is composed of 82% almonds, 9% orange blossom honey, and 9% argan oil. The visual shows both jars on a minimalist background with a spoon of creamy Amlou.

Here is why your body will thank you for making the switch:

  • Satiety: Amlou is rich in good fats and protein. A slice of toast will keep you full all morning, unlike industrial sugar that makes you hungry 2 hours later.
  • Cardiovascular health: Argan oil is a beneficial replacement for saturated oils and helps lower bad cholesterol.
  • Taste: A creamy texture, a pronounced toasted almond flavor, and the delicacy of honey. It is a premium taste experience.

How to enjoy Amlou on a daily basis?

The flaky texture of the Moroccan crepes is clearly visible, as is the rich consistency of the Berber almond and argan oil spread.

You can use it exactly like your old spread, and even more:

  • Spread it generously on slices of whole-wheat bread for breakfast.
  • Drizzle it over your hot crepes or pancakes (it will melt slightly; it's a delight).
  • Mix it into your bowl of oatmeal (porridge) or Greek yogurt for an added protein boost.
  • By the spoonful, straight from the jar (we won't judge!).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
