I have some and really just don't like the taste... Have 5 bags unopened if anyone has any tricks to make it edible

Blend it with peanut butter. It's quite delicious this way to me. Apologies if you are allergic.

Nobody's allergic in my house, but the kids can't bring any peanut stuff to school, so they take this… http://www.wowbutter.com

This stuff absolutely nails the taste although the texture is more in line with a Skippy or Jif than with better peanut butter.

We currently use SunButter but the taste is not the same. It is not bad but it is certainly not like peanut butter. I was interested in your link but I see it is made from soy. My youngest has an intolerance to soy. :( We would love to find "a nut-free, soy-free spread the tastes like peanut butter."

We had this one recently too: http://www.thesneakychef.com/free-recipe-no-nut-butter.php

It's made from peas. It's not quite as close to the real thing as the one that's made from soybeans, but it's pretty good.

Thanks for that! I've added it to my Amazon cart for a future order. I'll try anything once. (Obviously... since we're in a Soylent thread)

I add a squirt or two of Mio (http://www.makeitmio.com/)

could you try to describe the taste? there was nothing in the FAQ and while I'm sure it is challenging to articulate, it would be great to get an idea before ordering only to be horribly disappointed.

There are various articles describing people's experience, e.g.:

Seems like people describe it as a liquidy bread dough or pancake batter taste.
