Nut butter is a staple item on many people’s grocery lists. It’s a great source of healthy fats and protein for kids and adults alike.

However, not all healthy nut butter brands are created equally!

You’re sure to fall in love with at least one nut butter in one flavor. Just make sure you fall in love with one that’s full of nutrients and lacks artificial flavors, genetically modified organisms, and unnecessary amounts of sodium and unhealthy fats. Read on to find out which ones you should be purchasing–read on to find 7 healthy nut butter brands that you should fall in love with!

1. Crazy Richard’s

Crazy Richards

Crazy Richard’s peanut butter is made up of one simple ingredient: peanuts. Yup, you heard right, just peanuts. There is no added oil, salt, or sugar. Oh, and let’s not forget that their peanut butter comes in both creamy and crunchy. You can’t get much better than that!

It’s the perfect, clean peanut butter to use to make our Asian Vegetable Lettuce Wrap with Peanut Sauce.

2. Wild Friends

Wild Friends Foods

Not only does Wild Friends make a variety of different flavors of nut butters like chocolate almond butter, cinnamon raisin peanut butter, honey peanut butter with crunchy pretzel bits, and vanilla expresso almond butter, but they also create protein-packed nut butters that have 50% more protein, and nut butters with added nutrients such as flax and chia seeds. To top it off, Wild Friends makes their products with non-GMO, all-natural, organic ingredients and are free of additives and preservatives as well. They also make sunflower seed butter so anyone allergic to nuts can enjoy meals and snacks made with nut butters too.

One of their nut (or seed) butters would especially taste amazing on toast. Check out our Whole Grain Peanut Butter and Fruit Toast recipe to make the best of the best!

3. Justin’s

Justin's

Justin, the creator of Justin’s, started making his nut butters with local and natural ingredients in his own home. His flavorful and healthy nut butters were starting to disappear out of his pantry. To stop his roommates from devouring his delicious creations, he started writing his name on the jars. This was the silly start to a great brand of nut butter.

Now, for two years in a row, Justin’s has been in the top 15 on the Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies List in the Food and Beverage section. This is for good reasons! Justin’s nut butters are made with simple, all-natural ingredients, are certified gluten-free and vegan, and come in many delicious flavors such as maple, vanilla, chocolate, and honey. If you’re in need of a sweet treat that doesn’t ruin your healthy eating plan, they even have peanut butter cups made with all-natural ingredients.

If you’d rather make your own peanut butter cups, grab some Justin’s peanut butter and follow our 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups recipe!
