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

    Mmm… Almond butter! My favorite way to eat it is slightly melted and drizzled over crisp, sweet apples that have been generously sprinkled (okay, doused!) with cinnamon and ginger. Sooo good!
