Nut butter from Justin

A great source of protein and fat, nut butters are fantastic additions to smoothies, snacks and by themselves, spoon to mouth.

I've tried a lot of brands, and Justin's consistently tastes better to me than any others. I am not affiliated with the company in any way, just love their product. Their nut butters are available in jars, as well as easy-to-use single-serving pouches (about 2 Tbsp, 32g) that are usually 180-200 calories.

Justin's Nut Butter flavors, in order of most awesomeness:
1. Vanilla Almond Butter (apparently only available at Whole Foods, not even listed on website: http://www.justinsnutbutter.com/products.php)
2. Maple Almond Butter
3. Chocolate Hazelnut (better than Nutella, and much better ingredients)
4. Honey Almond
5. Honey Peanut
6. Chocolate Peanut
7. Chocolate Almond
8. Classic Almond
9. Classic Peanut

If you are missing out on Vanilla Almond, you are missing out on a delicious taste explosion in your mouth. Jars and pouches labeled "Whole Foods exclusive", and often the jars aren't in stock. I checked today and had to settle for pouches.

Let you think I am making up the flavor like a mysterious unicorn, here is a press release that mentions the Vanilla Almond flavor: http://www.justinsnutbutter.com/pressReleases2011_WholePlanetFoundation.php

Go find it.

    They are dangerous!

    I could eat an entire jar of the Chocolate Peanut at once.

    I was afraid to buy it again after it was so hard to control myself with the first jar!

    "taste explosion in your mouth." Sorry, Ken. I am a bad person.

    I <3 Justin's Nut Butters! (that sounds kind of dirty, doesn't it?)

    My only complaint? The pouches. Are way too big and too many calories. If you buy the protein plate at Starbucks you get a nice little 90 calorie pouch. Why can't they sell that size in stores?

    I believe you can order them online. Honestly, if I want a tbsp, I just eat half and save the rest.

    It's great, my fav is the cashew butter. I like to mash a small banana and mix a tablespoon or two into it, BEST-SNACK-EVER! And sometimes I'll go a lil' wild and sprinkle a few Paleo-friendly choco chips on top......WHOA MAMA! :glasses:

    You have much better will power than I do. The little packs, according to their website, are no longer for sale. :sad:

    That's pretty much on par with all nut butters...

    I actually found the vanilla almond butter packets at Whole Foods and just picked one up but haven't tried it yet. Fortunately for me I will be near another WF next week and can grab more if I like it. :) I regularly use Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut butter and LOVE it.

    Just sitting here wondering why I even opened a thread titled "Nut butter from Justin"

    "mmmmmm....nut butter..."

    "taste explosion in your mouth."

    "I'll give you some nut butter........"

    "I derive great pleasure from churning my own"

    Yup....Nut Butter, a taste explosion in your mouth. When you don't have time to churn your own, Justin will give you his nut butter. Mmmmm..Nut Butter.

    I bought six pouches today (3 vanilla almond, 3 maple almond) at Whole Foods.
