 While reading my Columbus Dispatch a few Sunday’s ago, I stumbled upon an article about almond butter. Knowing that almonds provide high quality protein, I took a closer look at the article. Keep in mind that the protein contained in these nuts possess high quality amino acids.  Besides being a good source of protein, almonds are also a good source of: fiber, phosphorus, potassium, copper, zinc and an excellent source of vitamin E…just to name a few. There’s also some research that indicates that some of the aminos can lower the risk of coronary disease.

Enter Jennifer Barney and her new product appropriately named Barney Butter which hit many western state stores about a year ago (for us easterners, the online ordering option will have to make do for now).  I recently tasted….and tested the butter with some athletes and professionals and the consensus is that it is really good! It’s lower in saturated fat than peanut butter and has it’s own benefits. I tested both the crunchy and the smooth and I got to tell you….their both really good. Another great feature is that you don’t have to stir it up…. Jennifer came up with a special way to solve that.

Furthermore,  another great idea that Jennifer utilizes is the squeezable packet. This may be as good as the butter itself! You can take this almond butter with you….it’s great to go, and I know that I’ll be suggesting this product to the coaches and athletes with whom I work. Great Taste….Great packet idea….High quality protein. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to throw out my peanut butter, but now I have more variety for my shelves. Make room in your shopping cart for Barney Butter.
