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 😉

Winner will be announced Sunday morning (7/18) when I wake up.

Ready… set… go!

    Ahhh im an almond butter fiend! I love it in oatmeal and smoothies and of course an almond butter and banana sandwich 🙂



  2. Marissa on July 16, 2010 at 10:34 pm

    My favorite is mixing a big blob of almond butter with uncooked oatmeal and protein powder (and a splash of water). Mix it all up and you’ve got “cookie dough!”



  3. a on July 16, 2010 at 10:34 pm

    I love it in oatmeal best of all but I m using it a ton in baking!



  4. Joanna on July 16, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    So hard to pick, but probably spread onto a perfectly ripe banana.



  5. Cate on July 16, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    I love putting a smidge (or more) on a hunk of banana for a pre-gym snack.



  6. Michelle on July 16, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    Well…
    MamaPea’s (peasandthankyou.com) Almond Joy Bars!!! I actually haven’t used it for much else, because it’s kind of expensive where I live, so I keep it for the special pans of that!! 🙂



  7. Anna on July 16, 2010 at 10:38 pm

    Like mine old school style…in an almond butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread!



  8. Anne @ Chute Assis on July 16, 2010 at 10:38 pm

    Spread on Wasa Rye Crisps and topped with carob chips! salt… crunch…sweet… Delish!



  9. Katherine on July 16, 2010 at 10:39 pm

    My favorite way to eat almond butter is definitely as an oatmeal topping! 🙂



  10. Katie on July 16, 2010 at 10:40 pm

    With apples! Easy + delish!



  11. stephanie on July 16, 2010 at 10:40 pm

    It’s a tie. Either straight out of the jar OR on hot toast drizzled with agave. both are YUM



  12. Leah on July 16, 2010 at 10:40 pm

    I put it in my smoothies, along with some almond milk. They make an almond extravaganza!



  13. Janna on July 16, 2010 at 10:42 pm

    I love using it in my cream of wheat or oatmeal…YUM!



  14. Steph on July 16, 2010 at 10:42 pm

  21. Arwen on July 16, 2010 at 10:49 pm

    I love adding almond butter when I am baking. Cookies, macaroon, <3 AB



  22. Lissi@ livelearnrun on July 16, 2010 at 10:50 pm

    Never tried it, but it sounds like it the perfect go-to spread for anything! I’d love to try some!



  23. Ria on July 16, 2010 at 10:51 pm

    Love it as a dip with fruits, veg you name it!



  24. nadia on July 16, 2010 at 10:52 pm

  26. Danielle on July 16, 2010 at 10:55 pm

    I love to add a big scoop of almond butter to my overnight oats….amazing with some chopped bananas and blueberries!



  27. Colleen on July 16, 2010 at 10:56 pm

    AB on bananas or on sliced apples topped with granola!



  28. Ryan on July 16, 2010 at 10:57 pm

    Everything! But my favorite is probably as a topping for frozen yogurt. So good!



  29. Nikki on July 16, 2010 at 10:58 pm

    I love it spread over celery…nom nom nom!



  30. Brittany on July 16, 2010 at 10:58 pm

    I eat almond butter on basically everything but one of my favorite uses for it is…
    When I’m making granola- love to mix in some AB- helps it clump up a little bit and adds some great flavor!



  31. Dynamics on July 16, 2010 at 10:58 pm

    Almond butter chocolate candy. Yum!



  32. Barb on July 16, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    Love it all ways but my fave has to be mixed with my father-in-laws honey (from hives I can see everyday) or on a banana



  33. Jessica @ Dairy Free Bety on July 16, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    mmmm… mixing it with some tahini and maple syrup – which = caramel flavored sauce!! YUM



  34. Amandaa on July 16, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    Straight out of the jar on a spoon! So good!



  35. Co on July 16, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    Dark chocolate almond butter is my favorite used like frosting on homemade chocolate graham crackers. Yum!!

  37. Kristen W on July 16, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    My favorite use can only be imagined in my head… because I have never tried it or any of those flavors!!! These coupons would definitely be incentive to though 😉



  38. Catherine on July 16, 2010 at 11:11 pm

  43. Joy on July 16, 2010 at 11:20 pm

    I don’t have access to almond butter but I think it would be great on fresh baked whole wheat bread



  44. Jamie on July 16, 2010 at 11:22 pm
