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) 😀

  12. Heidi on July 16, 2010 at 7:53 pm

    If I HAVE to pick just one favorite use for almond butter, it would be…. on top of my oatmeal! MMMM



  13. Nicole on July 16, 2010 at 7:54 pm

    I just started using Almond Butter recently, but it is great! I stick it in all my smoothies. And I bought the MaraNatha brand too. Super duper yummy! I lick any extra off my spoon. 😉



  14. ash bear on July 16, 2010 at 7:54 pm

    I love almond butter smeared on one of your famous macaroons!



  21. Amy on July 16, 2010 at 7:57 pm

    Straight outta the jar or smothered on a banana. I’m thinking it would also be pretty amazing sandwiched between two of your cookies if I win too! 😀



  22. Ilana on July 16, 2010 at 7:57 pm

  28. Katie on July 16, 2010 at 7:58 pm

  42. Shannon on July 16, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    My absolute fav way to eat AB is on a banana, but lately I’ve just been throwing a spoonful into my bowl of kashi golean & milk (it’s too hot for oatmeal)! You would think it wouldn’t blend well into cold stuff, but it’s just fine. And DELICIOUS!



  43. Kate Z. on July 16, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    With an apple in the afternoon! Perfect pick-me-up.



  44. Kristina on July 16, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    I love almond butter in smoothies and with bananas. Oh and a plain almond butter sandwich never fails. 🙂



  45. Sarah on July 16, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    On apples, pears, and tortillas!



  46. Vanessa on July 16, 2010 at 8:04 pm

    i eat almond butter in a BILLION different ways, but my favorite is on a banana!



  47. Sandi C on July 16, 2010 at 8:04 pm

  48. Katherine on July 16, 2010 at 8:04 pm

  49. Allison @ Food For Healing on July 16, 2010 at 8:04 pm
