You're still addicted or accustomed to a high level of sugar. It takes time for your body to adjust to lower sugar intake but until you do, healthy alternatives to sugar-laden (or salt-laden) foods will not "taste good" for you.

Also, you probably just need to try more alternative peanut butter. It took me a few tries to find something I liked.

Costco's Kirkland brand natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts, salt) takes some getting used to. The first time I bought it, I felt it was so bad that I thought about returning it. But after a while I got used to it, and now I love it and don't like regular peanut butter (with sugar+salt) any more because it tastes overly sweet and fake.

However, it is pretty annoying how much work it takes to stir it to incorporate the separated oil. Particularly because it comes in a big 28 ounce jar.
