Heart of the Week: Justin's

Justin’s Nut Butter is honestly a life-saver. Between their line of almond butters, peanut butters, to-go squeeze packs, and peanut butter cups, I don’t know what I would do without them! The best part is that all of these goodies are made with REAL ingredients- no artificial yuckies!!! Knowing this makes me feel a little less guilty about the other day, when Leo snuck into the candy drawer and ate two packets of Justin’s peanut butter cups for breakfast.

My favorite flavor is the Vanilla Almond Butter, affectionately known as crack butter at Philosophie HQ. It’s perfectly thick and unctuous- the ideal consistency that I look for in an almond butter. It’s great for spreading on apple slices or toast, but I usually just eat it straight out of the jar (no spoons + no judgment).

Lately, I’ve been using it as a topping for my new breakfast obsession: Green Dream Chia Seed Pudding... stay tuned for the recipe which will be up on the blog next week!

Aside from toppings and spreads, this flavor is also really great in smoothies! Almonds are perfect for bulking up frozen treats with fiber and heart-healthy fats, and the vanilla adds an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the whole drink.

When I snapped this photo of Kai holding the almond butter, I had to literally pry it out of his hands! He couldn’t stop eating it! It makes me so happy to feed my family delicious snacks that are made by passionate, responsible, + socially conscious companies. These are the types of values that I connect with, and I’m pretty sure they are the “secret ingredients" that make Justin’s taste so great!
