Weekend Recap + Justin’s Nut Butter Giveaway

*Updated on Friday July 2nd. Congratulations Elizabeth! You are the winner of the Justin’s nut butter giveaway! The winner was chosen in a random drawing. Elizabeth writes “I have recently tried almond butter and really enjoyed it! I have never tried this brand, however, and the varieties all sound wonderful-especially hazelnut! I would be especially interested in the small packs-it is way too easy to over-do it with a jar and a spoon!” Please contact me so I can coordinate to get your sample packet sent out!

Each weekend of this summer season just keeps getting better and better. The sunny and warm temperatures stay more consistent, and the enthusiasm to do fun, outside activities only grows. My husband and I spent another surf-filled weekend out on the Eastern End of Long Island in Montauk, NY where the focus continues to remain on high quality water time and a good wave. Here are a few fun shots from the weekend. Also today we kick off a Justin’s Nut Butter Giveaway. If you haven’t introduced yourself to Justin’s – it’s time. They make a variety of nut butter varieties including chocolate almond butter, honey almond butter as well as hazelnut butters and peanut butter varieties. They also make 100-calorie and 200-calorie packs for enjoyment on the go. Find out more about how to win a sample pack from the team at Justin’s below.

Justin’s Nut Butter Giveaway

They say you can’t always get what you want, but why not? Next time you’re on the run – or heck this week as you sweat your way into the office – grab a few packets of Justin’s Nut Butters to take with you. Spread a little nut butter on an apple for breakfast, or swipe a little on a piece of sprouted grain toast to compliment that leafy-green salad for lunch you’ve started to rock lately.

More about Justin’s Nut Butters

Smooth like buttah. That’s what Justin’s nut butters are like. I love the varieties of nut butters Justin’s offers from Classic Almond Butter to Peanut Butter to Hazelnut Butter to Chocolate Hazelnut Butter. (Yum.) You can pick up a regular sized 16 ounce jar of say their Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, but honestly what I love so much about these nut butters are the 100-calorie and 200-calorie individual nut butter packets. Oh so helpful in case you are traveling or just trying to curb your ability to easily take down a jar of almond butter in one sitting. (Anyone?) These individual nut butter packets are my new guilty pleasure.

The team from Justin’s has kindly offered to give away a sampling of their delicious nut butters. Just leave a comment below and let me know why you’re psyched to give this goodness a try. Re-tweet this post for an extra chance to win. The winner will be selected in a random drawing and announced this Friday July 2nd!

Almond Butter Recipe Ideas

In the meantime, here are a few simple and delicious almond butter recipes that I love. Take the switch from that ole’ peanut butter that you’re used to. Almond butter is awesome too because it’s believed to contain fewer pesticides than peanut butter.

    Holy moly I love this stuff! I go into my Whole Foods almost daily to check and see if there are any single serving packets of the chocolate almond butter (my favorite!) I love mixing the packets in with my oatmeal every morning (I love the chocolate peanut butter, maple and honey almond butter) and I love that they are a local company. I'm all for supporting them.

  • I am a big fan of nut butters (especially the alternatives to peanut butter!). Almond butter and apples are a favorite snack ... oooh and cashew butter on aplles is divine! The 100/200 calorie pack would be great after hot yoga. :)

    I love the chocolate hazelnut.I use it for dessert on a whole grain toast. I like the individual packets because I know how many calories I am eating .
  • mooneyes
    What a great idea for a healthy on-the-go snack! I am looking forward to trying them!
  • Mel Jeune
    I like the individual packaging, easy to grab on the go to have on hand for a snack at work.
  • yogajohn
    Great idea! Limited amount of nut butter in a serving. I have found that putting away the jar before eating the prepared item can help in controlling the amount, but there are times I just go back in the cupboard and get some more. sounds good for traveling also.

    Sounds great for the little ones!
