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

Ready… set… go!

    in oatmeal with jam! or out of the jar, I love any kind of nutbutter though.



  3. Cindy on July 16, 2010 at 7:16 pm

    On top of warm oats when it is cold outside and in the breakfast cookie when it’s not! It is my favorite food 🙂



  4. Dee on July 16, 2010 at 7:17 pm

    My favorite use has to be on pancakes!



  5. Carrie on July 16, 2010 at 7:18 pm

    I confess, I don’t actually like Almond butter. Though I do like Maranatha Peanut Butter in smoothies!



  6. Alicia on July 16, 2010 at 7:18 pm

    I’ve only recently starting using, but I spread some on top of my homeade fudge!!! oh my! Delish

    On bananas and in my oatmeal. I also love it straight out of the jar!



  9. Krystle on July 16, 2010 at 7:20 pm

  13. Stefanie on July 16, 2010 at 7:23 pm

    I cut up an fuji apple and drizzle Marantha Almond Butter over them, like caramel since it has that same consistency, and then sprinkle with cinnamon! YUM!

  21. Julie @pickley pear on July 16, 2010 at 7:26 pm

    I ask myself how I lived without almond butter for so long! MaraNatha is my favorite. I think my favorite usage is the oldie but goodie pb&j sandwich! I like to add banana too! Great giveaway!



  22. laura on July 16, 2010 at 7:26 pm

  23. Lindsay on July 16, 2010 at 7:26 pm

    I love to chop up some dates in the food processor and then mix in a little almond butter and coconut butter. Kinda a make-shift Larabar and OMG so good.



  24. Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life on July 16, 2010 at 7:28 pm

    Mmmm almond butter! Paired with some sliced banana on a toasted bagel so it gets all melty.



  25. Kristina on July 16, 2010 at 7:28 pm

    Mmm… straight out of the jar… many times I’m not hungry in the am – before my workout or run – so I eat 1 or 2 spoons of almond butter…

    I also smear it on granola bars. NOM !



  26. Jenny on July 16, 2010 at 7:28 pm

  32. SarahR on July 16, 2010 at 7:31 pm

    My favorite way is making a sandwhich out of almond butter and sliced strawberries or cherries soooo much better than peanut butter and jelly!
