Barney Butter ~ All Natural, Peanut-Free Almond Butter ~ Marathon Monday


What makes Barney Butter different from other Almond Butters. "Taste, texture and locally produced as well as the convenience of no-stir. No oil to stir back in and no need to refrigerate makes it easy to spread and keep in your cupboard (or office desk). Barney Butter is made exclusively from roasted California almonds harvested from nearby orchards. It has an amazing fresh roasted flavor you don't get from other almond butters."

I remember growing up with my mom using natural peanut butter. It was so yucky having to constantly open the jar and seeing oil sitting on top. I don't have to worry about that using Barney Butter.

Our family loves eating this natural almond butter on sandwiches, apples, by the spoonful and my all time favorite...the crunchy on chocolate ice cream!

Barney Butter is giving 3 winners a free 24 pack of their 90 calorie Packets. For your chance to win visit their site and then come back here and let me know if you like crunchy or smooth.

I would use the packets when we go away for the weekend. I like to take oatmeal packets and have oatmeal with a banana and peanut butter. It is never convient to take a jar of pb and I bet Barney Butter would be a wonderful addition!

My favorite BB recipe from the site is oatmeal cookies. My fav recipe in general is BB + banana bread!

Keegan said...

Travel packets are the biggest lifesaver when 4am is too early to eat breakfast before I head to the hospital. I grab that to go with my oatmeal for breakfast after rounds. Works perfectly!
