Indeed, a nice big (relatively cheaper) 1kg bucket 🙂 – it's loads better than the other stuff, plus palm oil production is very unenvironmentally friendly, should you care (deforestation/loss of habitat..). There's really no need for all the added crap…just mtfu and mix it every time you open the lid 😉
Usually all Holland & Barrett have is crunchy – it does come in smooth too, but I've yet to find any. Lobbing the crunchy stuff through a pestle and mortar is hard work, but do-able, if you're so inclined.
Fattening ? Dunno, I seem to eat quite a bit of it with no ill-effects to the waistline, tho' I guess it adds a fair bit of protein to my meat-light protein intake.
