OPP Almond Butter
This is almond butter flavored but contains no tree nuts or other common allergens.

Now Garden of Life is offering a new flavor, Smooth Almond Butter. It is available exclusively at Whole Foods Markets. They sent me two bags and offered to send the same to one lucky reader, too! Finds’ friend Amanda tested it out for us. She says:

“I love that the bag comes with its own measuring cup for perfect portioning and the taste is delicious! I am still having the same ‘caking’ problem with this powder as I had with the earlier version that I tried. First, I tried it in unsweetened almond milk and the powder just wouldn’t blend. I added a bit more liquid, didn’t help. Then, I put it in the microwave and it still didn’t make a difference.

I found a solution in my next round. I blended banana, ice, almond milk and one serving of protein powder. This worked much better with the blender!

The almond butter flavor and taste is a lovely change of pace from chocolate and strawberry.”

You don’t have to take Amanda’s word for it. The nice folks at Garden of Life will send one winner two 8.9 oz bags of Smooth Almond Butter flavor OPP (retail value $29.95/bag).
