Celebrity Chef Paula Dean famously said “every recipe starts with a stick of butter.”

At first, this statement seemed to bother me since “butter” has a bit of an unhealthy connotation.

Today, food trends have been evolving and butter is no longer necessarily unhealthy. Paula Dean, the culinary genius she is, knew this from the get-go. So, what about different forms of butter? In my house, the butter Paula is referring to is almond butter. Most things I eat have some type of nut butter involved, whether cooking with, or drizzling on top. That being said, I am a bit picky when it comes to nut butters because I am so familiar with them. Because of that, I am so excited to be writing this review on my new favorite!

I recently had the pleasure of tasting many of Noosh Brands’ products. I loved them all but particularly fell in love with the different flavored almond butters. Surprisingly, the cupcake flavor was actually my favorite. It had no artificial taste, and it wasn’t too sweet– it was perfect. I have tried each of Noosh Brands’ almond butter flavors and have not been disappointed. Other flavors include chocolate, coffee, birthday cake, and original. You can cut up an apple and drizzle some on top, grab a cupcake and use it as frosting, blend up a refreshing summer smoothie, or even eat it straight up like I (shamelessly) did.

Noosh brands also sells unflavored protein powder made out of almonds. At first, I was skeptical about how it was going to taste, but once I made the smoothie it was gone in 5 minutes!

The bottom line: Noosh products have amazing flavor and are a great way to refuel after a workout. I can assure that you will not be disappointed 🙂
