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) 😀

On everything. Or plain. Almond butter is just that good.
Love it on waffles with bananas.
Favorite use for almond butter is mixed into Greek yogurt and on toast. Oh yummy!
That smoothie looks tasty!
My favorite is dark chocolate almond butter.. and I make a wrap: dark chocolate almond butter, peanut butter, 1 banana, 1 tortilla.. and I heat it up in the microwave. It is heaven.
Oooh… almond butter atop oatmeal = great. Almond butter atop French toast = best. Yummy!
I was never into almond butter until I was told no peanut butter (breastfeeding) so I decided I had to expand my horizons…enter almond butter. My favorite use for it is very boring but gets the job done every single time – spread on some whole wheat toast!
I love making almond butter, honey and banana sandwiches! It’s also a great substitute for thai peanut chicken (original ingredients include: peanut butter (sub in almond butter), cilantro, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, red onions, green onions, honey, coconut milk, garlic and curry powder) cheers! 🙂
Truth time? I’ve never tried almond butter before! I really want to, though!
I REALLY love almond butter on top my overnight oats…but it’s gotta be with sliced grapes! Grapes and almond butter is like peanut butter and jelly, but more gourmet. 😉
melted atop warm oats 😀
I love almond butter straight out of the jar, on apples, w/ carrots, in my oatmeal… I bigpuffyheart AB!!
I love almond butter on tortilla with some honey!! i use that as my dessert! I wannaaaaa win!
OMG I love AB, my favorite is with an apple. Mmmm…
Almond butter is pretty much good on anything and everything! While I am certainly not opposed to eating it right out of the jar, my favorite use is on bananas with a drizzle of honey on top. DELICIOUS!
Muy yum! I have started to put nut butters on vanilla bean ice cream. Not the healthiest way to eat it, but I eat so much less ice cream in one sitting.
Favorite…pick a favorite….How could I possibly!
I actually like it in a more savory way. I put it on toast but dip it into whatever Im eating…pasta, veggies, etc…
I love almond butter in stir fries– sort of like peanut sauce… but not. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite- plain? on bread? carrots? All delicious and nutritious.
Hooray!!! Maranatha makes my favorite AB. I use it in Averie’s Raw Vegan “PB” cups! http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/11/raw-vegan-peanut-butter-cups.html
Thanks for sharing the love 😀
Yummm on Everything, I love to dip my apples in it for my afternoon snack
my fav use is in green monsters! great blog!!
on bananas! 🙂
For me, nothing beats Almond butter spread all over a banana. m’m m’m m’m
Toast with almond butter, naner and cinnamon = best combo ever:)
Also love your choco chip almond butter cookies, made them a few times and never fail to eat 1/4 of the batch, nom nom!!
My love for almond butter happened when I had kids. I was afraid to give them peanut butter so went for the less allergan almond butter. We all love it at our house and use it on everything but AB&J will always be the best!
In Super Charge Me Cookies!! Drizzled over frozen yogurt!!
Straight out of the JAR!!!! I have at least a scoop everyday!! I turned my dad on the almond butter too!!
my fav is straight out the jar but this combo is a close second:
I blend half a scoop chocolate protein into 1egg+2whites and a dash of vanilla&cinn to make an omelet filled with frozen banana and almond butter <3
On top of oatmeal!
The peanut butter chocolate chip larabars are amazzzzzing! The cookie dough ones are okay. My favorite use for almond butter is to put a tablespoon into hot oatmeal…mmm!
On everything! A recent weird combination I’ve been into is egg white, almond butter, and cinnamon in a whole wheat tortilla. Strange but sooo good!
On whole grain toast with sliced banana before a run (or anytime)!
On an arnold thin topped with honey, or in oatmeal combined with chocolate chips! I have only been eating almond butter for a month and now I can’t imagine my breakfast without it!
on a bagel with some fresh fruit
love me some AB on whole wheat toast with some OJ for breakfast!
Warmed and drizzled on vanilla ice cream, or warmed and topped with any flavor of Greek yogurt. 🙂
I love AB on everything, but for a treat, I put some on a banana and then sprinkle it with chocolate chips or top with a little agave. Yum!
I love almond butter on oats.
I like throwing a scoop of almond butter in the vitamix with some frozen bananas and cacao for a chocolate smoothie. Yum!!
Omg. In BREAKFAST COOKIES of course!!!
Straight out of the jar or drizzled on a chopped pear!
Hmmmm – straight out of the jar is definitely right up there. But, I also love it in my pumpkin dip (pumpkin puree, almond butter, and a bit of vanilla or cinnamon protein powder). Yummy!
Zucchini bread oatmeal! You add a spoonful to oatmeal along with pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a little maple syrup – perfection.
OMG I won a variety pack from Larabar’s Facebook page and I have been DYING for them to get here. Chocolate chip cookie dough? YES.
My favorite use for almond butter: straight outta the jar, on top of a baked sweet potato, in between a homemade AB cup (AB+chocolate? LOVE!), almond butter sauce for raw veggies, in a smoothie… basically, any way you spoon it, I love it.
Happy Weekend, Gina! Awesome giveaway. My favorite way to have almond butter is on a nanner. Yum.
Definitely out of the jar, as well, with a couple of dark chocolate chips. Heaven 🙂
Keepin’ it simple: AB and apple slices!
on an apple or ants on a log!
Favorite use for almond butter is for an AB&J sandwich or in AB & chocolate chip cookies…yum!
AB + Apple + honey = food heaven
