3 Healthy Nut-Butter Snacks!

Eat snacks? Love nut butters? Looking for healthier snack options?

You’ve come to the right place :) I LOVE adding nut butters to my daily nutrition, simply because they are an awesome way to get in healthy fats & sneak in some extra protein but ALSO because it’s delicious!

Here are 3 of my favorite, go-to healthy nut butter snacks

Chocolate nut butter yogurt bowl

• 1 scoop chocolate protein (I love KOS)

• ¾ cup unsweet vanilla yogurt (I use Forager's)

• 1.5 tbsp nut butter

• sprinkle of cinnamon + drizzle of honey

• sliced strawberries

Nut butter rice cake

• 1 plain rice cake

• spread nut butter on top

• add sliced bananas

• drizzle of honey + sprinkle of cinnamon

Nut butter dates

• 3-4 dates sliced open

• smear nut butter in the middle of the date

• add a Brazil nut inside (optional if you like a crunch)

• drizzle of honey + sprinkle of cinnamon
  

***Obviously, a little sprinkle of cinnamon & a small drizzle of honey elevates each of these snacks :)

TIPS when chosing nut butters

• chose the nut butters that list the nut used as being the only ingredient (avoid any added sugars or oils)

• Almond butter is the highest in healthy fats

• Peanut butter has the highest protein

• If you’re allergic to nuts, sunflower butter (sunbutter) is a great option

• Cashew butter is naturally the sweetest of the nut butters so if you’re looking to lower your sugar intake without sacrificing your sweet tooth, this is a great option

Nut butter brands I use & recommend

• Santa Cruz

• 365 by Whole Foods

• Kirkland Signature
