Maybe it’s because I’m training for an Ironman triathlon,
but I can’t seem to think of much else but food these days. Therefore, I was
thrilled to discover that my girlfriend Morgan, owner of Atlanta-based retailer
all3sports, left behind a sweet surprise after visiting my home in Boulder last week.
Morgan had stopped off at our local Whole Foods, where she
sampled a variety of flavors of Justin’s Nut Butters. After trying the tasty
goods, she couldn’t leave the store empty handed – thus the jar of deliciously
decadent Chocolate Almond Butter that now resides in my pantry.
As rich and sinful as the nut butter seems, it’s actually a
wonderfully wholesome snack, packed with natural, organic and locally sourced
ingredients and good-for-you fat and protein from heart-healthy almonds. If
another nut is more to your liking, Justin’s also offers hazelnut and peanut
butter varieties. So far, my favorite way to enjoy the Chocolate Almond Butter
is atop a toasted multi-grain bagel – but I imagine it tastes great with sliced
apples or other fruit, as well as spooned straight from the jar.
