Maranatha was so kind to send me some almond butter to *review* on the blog, even though we all know how much I love it. I love all almond butter- I don’t discriminate 😉 They also sent sunflower seed butter and Dark Chocolate Peanut spread (which looks like frosting, which is ok with me) 😀

See those coupons at the bottom of the pic?

Those are for a lucky winner.

It’s GIVEAWAY TIME 😀

One almond-butter lovin’ Fitnessista will win 3 coupons – each coupon is for any size jar of Maranatha product

To make things even more fun, I’ll throw in a batch of my vegan almond butter chocolate chip cookies

Mine: Straight outta the jar 😉

    straight up on a warm piece of toast. mmmmm. 🙂



  2. brandi on July 17, 2010 at 12:54 am

    i love AB stirred into my greek yogurt! So thick and filling!



  3. Teresa on July 17, 2010 at 12:56 am

    Definitely waiting for the carrot cake Lara Bar myself! Although I think the cookie dough will be pretty stellar as well. I wonder if the chocolate chip part will still be raw… hmmm

    As for almond butter- my favorite way is straight up out of the jar as well. Following closely (and I mean closely) behind, is stuffed inside of a date (specifically a date from the date farm I work at 🙂 ).



  4. Gigi on July 17, 2010 at 1:01 am

    On toast with jelly…yummm….

    I’ll take it any way I can get it, but I love AB on an apple!



  7. Kim on July 17, 2010 at 1:17 am

    I would LOVE to try almond butter, but sadly it is not in my food budget. If I won I’m sure I’d have multiple favorite uses, and I’m always looking for new food excitement 🙂



  8. Kristy on July 17, 2010 at 1:23 am

    I am sad to admit this, but I have yet to try almond butter… it’s kinda pricey for my budget and I just haven’t allowed myself to buy it yet! I’m sure I’ll love it though… especially if it’s FREE! 🙂



  9. Renee on July 17, 2010 at 1:24 am

    almond butter and jelly sandwhiches 🙂



  10. IL on July 17, 2010 at 1:25 am

    Straight from the jar. For sure.



  11. Smuddpie on July 17, 2010 at 1:31 am

    I love digging out the thick part at the bottom of the jar!



  12. Michelle on July 17, 2010 at 1:32 am

    ooh that’s a tough one… i’ll have to say on an apple, simple and always delicious



  13. Lorin on July 17, 2010 at 1:33 am

    I love dipping dried fruit in almond butter! There’s so many things I love with almond/peanut butter; carrots too! If you ever go to New York, visit PB&Co., SO GOOD!



  14. Christina @ A Beautiful Mess on July 17, 2010 at 1:35 am

    New Larabar flavors?? weeee! can’t wait.

    My absolute favorite use for almond butter is on my finger dipped straight into the jar. Sometimes a spoon is used when I can’t get my finger all the way to the bottom :O) I love AB in a bunch of other things but the fave is definitely straight up



  15. Ann on July 17, 2010 at 1:51 am

    In my oatmeal!



  16. Fallon on July 17, 2010 at 1:52 am

    I love almond butter smeared onto a frozen banana. I’m sure the chocolate almond butter and a frozen banana would be an amazing combination!



  17. Brittany on July 17, 2010 at 1:59 am

    on toast or in oatmeal yum! 🙂



  18. Heather @ get healthy with Heather on July 17, 2010 at 2:01 am

    Slathered with cinnamon on an apple. Just can’t go wrong.



  19. Danielle on July 17, 2010 at 2:01 am

    I love almond butter in oats and yogurt!



  20. Allison on July 17, 2010 at 2:03 am

    Can you believe that I have never had almond butter?!?! I think it’s finally time! 🙂 I would love it on a good ol’ sandwich with jelly, or straight from the jar!



  21. Maureen on July 17, 2010 at 2:10 am

    I love it with carrots!



  22. TryshaOrtiz on July 17, 2010 at 2:19 am

    Almond butter with bananas. Slice the banana in half lengthwise and put lot of ab!



  23. Kimberly on July 17, 2010 at 2:32 am

    apples of course…and manna bread!



  24. Andie on July 17, 2010 at 2:33 am

    Melted in oatmeal 🙂 Stirred with cereal 🙂 Raw 🙂 Spread on anything I can spread it on… especially rice krispie treats



  25. Kelly Michelle on July 17, 2010 at 2:45 am

    OMG yum, my fav is on a date with a few semi sweet choc chips on top, or mixed w/ UVAB and cinnamon and banana to make almond butter cream sauce to top anything with



  26. Emily I. on July 17, 2010 at 3:19 am

    I spread a layer of almond butter on a whole wheat tortilla and cover in cinnamon, then roll up like a crepe – it’s a perfect on the go snack!



  27. krystal on July 17, 2010 at 3:20 am

    on top of toast w/ honeyyyy~ :]



  28. Rowan on July 17, 2010 at 3:22 am

    It’s a difficult call, but I really enjoy a scoop of almond butter in a steaming hot creamy bowl of delicious oatmeal with bananas and cinnamon!



  29. andrenna on July 17, 2010 at 3:37 am

    Ohmygoodness there are so many uses. Hmmm. I made vegan dark chocolate almond butter cups for presents for Christmas last year and those were stellar. They win over my normal smearing on toast.



  30. Ilene on July 17, 2010 at 3:45 am

    Mmm AB & J sandwiches!



  31. katie on July 17, 2010 at 4:10 am

    Recently.. AB on my eggs. 🙂 !!! Hits the spot with sprinkles of flaxseed



  32. Natalie on July 17, 2010 at 5:12 am

    I love dipping carrot sticks in AB!



  33. bluestars on July 17, 2010 at 5:20 am

    i love almond butter straight out of the jar! YUMYUM! 🙂



  34. Brooke on July 17, 2010 at 5:30 am

    Almond butter melted and thinned with almond milk and drizzled on top of desserts or oats.
    But right out of the jar is always a must!



  35. Alisha on July 17, 2010 at 5:34 am

    i love my almond butter with oatmeals.., and of course straight out of the jar!



  36. nicole on July 17, 2010 at 5:47 am

    Perfect in a smoothie with protein powder, almond milk, and banana!



  37. jennie on July 17, 2010 at 5:49 am

    must be on brown rice toast baby!



  38. Meaghan on July 17, 2010 at 5:57 am

    In a smoothie with Stonyfield Organic Banilla Yogurt!



  39. Dawn on July 17, 2010 at 5:58 am

    There’s nothing wrong with out of the jar, but my favorite use for almond butter is in a banana-almond butter sandwich: cut banana in half length-wise, spread with almond butter, and ta-da! It’s a little messy in the eating, but totally worth it.



  40. Sarah on July 17, 2010 at 6:32 am

    I like to put my almond butter on whole grain tortillas with honey before long bike rides. Yum!



  41. Teri [a foodie stays fit] on July 17, 2010 at 6:34 am

    I love almond butter between a sliced banana and sprinkled with cinnamon! Mmmm…



  42. jen trinque @ recipes for creativity on July 17, 2010 at 6:49 am

    I like almond butter on everything…bananas, muffins, greek yogurt, a spoon, a fork, my finger….



  43. tamara on July 17, 2010 at 6:54 am

  44. Dana in KC on July 17, 2010 at 6:58 am

    I love a generous blob atop my overnight oats!



  47. esther on July 17, 2010 at 7:11 am

    almond butter all blended up with a banana and fun add in’s for sure!



  48. Katie on July 17, 2010 at 7:12 am

    So many choices, but I love dipping a date right into the almond butter jar. The combination is amazing! Like an almond butter “hot tub” for the date. Yum! Off to eat one right now…



  49. barb on July 17, 2010 at 7:16 am

    On toast or a crisp fall apple



  50. Therese on July 17, 2010 at 7:18 am

    Best giveaway ever! I love it plain (esp. chocolate almond butter), in oatmeal, and in Mama Pea’s “Almond Joy” bar cookies!
