Hiya, everyone! It’s that time of the week — What I Ate Wednesday. Except this time, I have a little spin for you. A couple weeks ago, the super cool peeps at Artisana Organic Foods sent me a bunch of their nut butters to try, so I’ll be showing you all of the delicious spreads I have been consuming over the past couple of weeks. As always, thank you to Jenn for putting this partay together!
As you can imagine, I was incredibly excited when this was the package that was delivered to me:
The first one that I decided to dive into was the coconut butter. I put it atop my morning oatmeal along with some blackberries:
I had been seeing coconut butter all over the blog-o-sphere. Healthy living bloggers seem to love this stuff for the taste and the healthy fats so I figured this stuff would rock. Well, it is totally incredible, but took me a couple of tries to get used to. I absolutely loved it over oatmeal because when it melted, the texture was kind of like frosting without being as sweet. If this stuff wasn’t so expensive I would purchase it all the time.
Next up? Pecan:
Now, this sentence may sound kind of funny, but I loved the Pecan Butter so much because it tasted like I was eating a bunch of crushed up pecans. This nut butter in particular was so delicious because I could tell how natural the ingredients were. It was delicious on its own and also when paired with a drizzle of honey!
Then I went for the Macadamia Nut Butter:
While I loved the crunch from the macadamia nuts, I wished there had been a bit more flavor. It was a little bland for me.
The Cashew Nut Butter was next:
This was another nut butter I really enjoyed! Cashews are my absolute fave, so I knew that I’d love this one, and I was right!
There are still a couple other nut butters (and coconut oil) that I have to try, but I wanted to share all of my thoughts that I have with you; and What I Ate Wednesday seemed like the appropriate time! What I really loved about the Artisana nut butters was how natural they tasted. With each nut butter I tried, I couldn’t believe how simple yet delicious each one was, reminding me that processed food and foods pumped with fillers just aren’t good for you. Thanks again, Artisana!
Question: What is your favorite nut butter? What do you like to eat nut butter with?
I was just eyeing up the walnut butter at a health food store the other day! All of the different flavors sound so good!
They were so awesome to try! Love nut butter
They all look so good–I’m jealous!
They were all really yummy, even the ones that weren’t my faves
I am always so jealous of everyone who gets a huge artisana stash!!!!
It was definitely a treat!
I’m so boring with my nut butter. Peanut and almond for me. But wow – if I got that pack I would definitely try them all. I haven’t really tried any others because they’re so expensive, but coconut butter sounds AMAZING!
Nut butters can be so pricey! But I do love Trader Joes Sunflower Butter, and it’s not too expensive
I still haven’t tried coconut butter, but I really am not a fan of coconut! I think I will stick to the nut butters for my healthy fat
It definitely took me a few tries to get used to the coconut.
