MaraNatha Natural Creamy Almond Butter No Stirring No Sugar or Salt 12oz Jar

I have tried many brands but I came across this one at a local grocery store and I am obsessed! You can taste the difference! No oily goop, easy to spread on toast and taste great!!!!

This is so delicious that I don't even miss peanut butter, and I am really addicted to peanut butter. So far, it is my favorite almond butter! Quality and delicious flavor!

I've started to use almond butter for beyond the just obvious of a sandwich spread and now am using it for an add on in smoothies or in all sorts of home cooking so I can have better control over how much sugar or carbs or whatever is going into meals. I like the smooth almond butter for most all my cooking needs b/c I'm not really looking to crunch down on something hard in a smoothie or some of the alternative lower carb items I'm whipping up. This brand isn't exactly cheap but then again it's not on the higher end that organic, raw almond butters can cost. I'm trying to eat better but I'm not a millionaire so $20 for 12 oz of the organic, raw, raised by Tibetan monk offerings are out of my price range. What I do NOT like about this item is the added palm oil. If you do not want palm oil then you have to go w/the organic offerings which do cost more. I generally split my purchases and get some w/just the almonds and others w/the palm oil. The advantage of added palm oil is it is way smoother and isn't dry crumbly so it's easier to work with on sandwiches or cooking. The downside is if you are trying to reduce added fats, there is palm oil. So, something to consider based on your own dietary needs and priorities. Overall a good product given these considerations.

Love this brand and raw crunchy virgin almond butter seems to be getting tougher to find with every passing month no matter what brand. I thought this one was. I finally found it few days ago. Now this is the only brand I could find without added palm oil or other stuff that negates the benefits of the raw almonds. I don't know why some even add the salt, because I can salt my food way better than any others can. Adjusting on the fly with salt free "anything" like this always tastes twice as good. Try it with some toast some time with just unsalted butter, and VERY lightly sprinkle some (I use pink or sea) salt on it after melting. Then go for peanut or cashew or walnut or any unsalted version fave. At the end of the week, think about how many people you ended up needing to tell about how come you never thought of doing this so much darn sooner??? Key takeaway is you will likely reduce your sodium intake b-cuz you are in control, and it's easier to taste it when it hits the taste buds at the same time but separate from the rest of the bite opposed from being cooked with or melted in blending all together taste wise. Ohhh..... the possibilities! Yeah... your welcome 😉

I bought this product to use when I make smoothies and overnight oats. It is tasty, fresh, and overall good! The only issue I have is that it says "no stir" on the jar. Do not believe that, you will absolutely have to stir this...lots of oil separated to the top. Be careful when stirring! It's so full, and such a small container, some oil spilled out. It's hard to stir as well because the almond butter is so thick, and sticks to the spoon in big clumps. This isn't a deal breaker for me though, because at this price point, I would rather stir it than pay double the price at the grocery store. It's worth it! Just prepare to get a nice wrist work out!
