My Newest Snackobsession

So remember back when, when I was having this weird obsession that turned into the Battle of the Nut Butters? Well, I am still obsessed [surprise!!] but I have found the Newest Snackobsession...hold on to your seat...
Oh my word people! This is the greatest seed butter of all [forget the nuts]!
Cinnamon, Vanilla Sunflower Butter- with flax and hemp seeds. Sounds particularly healthy, no? Gluten and Vegan free and to top it all off it's USDA Organic! Shaazam!
I think I am [most] thankful for the fact that the nutrition facts panel is no where to be found on the label [weird!!] however, I can guess that it is [probably] between 150-180 calories per 2 Tbsp serving with 14-18 grams of fat and an extraordinary amount of heart healthy fats (poly- and monounsaturated fats, that is)! I might also add that it has NO hydrogenated oils and trans fat but tons of OMEGA's [3, 6 and 9]! An RD's dream snack...I would probably considered this a super food too!
Why am I loving this? satisfying, healthy, subtle sweetness. I am finding when I have a piece of toast with a schhmear of Naturally Nutty in the AM, the slightly sweet taste helps control my sweet tooth later in the day! What's not to love about that? 
I think I may have a nut/seed butter problem : /

Don't judge me! Just get out there and try one! ;)

Battle of the Nut Butters

Call me indecisive but I think it's totally necessary to have all different types of nut butters on hand! Right now, my cupboard has the Battle of the Nut Butters goin' on!

Jif Peanut Butter- for when you want a taste of the "reaaal" thing

Peanut Butter Co.- these are fun because they come in ALL different flavors. I chose Cinnamon Raisin Swirl for the simple fact that it says "good in oats" on the jar! That's my kind of nut butter.

Barney Butter- this is a new almond butter I am trying. So far, so gooood! I had it on a piece of toast with banana yesterday. The flavor is a little more subtle than Justin's and the texture is more smooth.

Justin's- I am a huge Justin's maple almond butter fan. It really tastes all natural and that's just the best part about it!

My favorite? well, Jif is definitely not it ; )
