A couple of weeks ago, I got home from work to find a small package waiting for me on our doorstep. In the midst of the Christmas shopping season I figured it to be something I had ordered until I saw where it was shipped from. When I noticed it was from Dallas, Texas I was more than excited to rip open the package. One of my very best friends in this world, Melanie, had sent me a birthday present. I wrote about how special Melanie is to me here. Melanie never forgets to make her friends feel special and seeing her handwriting on the card made me smile So did the beautiful bar of soap and container of peanut butter inside. Mel had boasted about this peanut butter before and I had yet to try it. Though, this wasn’t just any jar of peanut butter- this was Sugar Cookie flavored Peanut Butter.
Sugar. Cookie.
You heard me.
As much as I wanted to stand in the kitchen with this jar and a spoon for the rest of the afternoon, I placed it in our pantry to try with my husband. Christmas came and went and I still had yet to try it- until last night. Bryan and I found ourselves looking for a healthy snack after a workout that was pretty tough on our muscles. We had some Weight Watchers points left and wanted to fill them up with something good. We got a little creative and popped open a box of honey graham crackers, cut up some strawberries and bananas, and opened the peanut butter. We both bit in to our graham crackers and before I could finish my snack I was online planning on what flavor I was ordering next.
This Peanut Butter is made by Wild Friends Foods and their vast variety of nut butters are made with all friendly ingredients. They are Non-GMO, palm fruit oil free, and many of them include organic ingredients and are dairy free. I also love their story. Wild Friends was born at the University of Oregon from two female college athletes that had decided to make their own peanut butter one day. They are now based out of Portland, OR.
I don’t exaggerate when I say this was easily the best peanut butter I have ever had. Luckily, I found that I don’t have to always order more online. They have it at our local GNC. You can see their list of nut butters, read their story, find a store that carries it near you, or order online on their website. I am hoping to try the cinnamon raisin flavor next.
The sugar cookie flavor paired with the graham crackers was a perfect choice for a post-workout snack. This would also be great on a piece of toast with berries on top. Bryan and I had the bright idea of throwing a couple of tablespoons in with our chocolate protein shakes. If you are looking for a protein packed snack with friendly ingredients and delicious flavors I encourage you to purchase a jar. Like me, you will find it hard to not stand in your kitchen eating it with a spoon 🙂
