Nuttzo Over Nut Butter + Giveaway

By

Lame jokes are my favorite.

Q: What did the fish say when he hit a wall?

A: Damn.

I’ll spare you more jokes and get right to the point. Remember my post competition treat of choice? 

NuttZo was a big treat for me because I hadn’t been “allowed” nut butter on my training plan for a while, and because at ~$15 it’s a pricey jar of creamy, nutty deliciousness (worth every penny, btw).

That’s not a problem for one of you… The lovely people at Nuttzo have offered to give away a jar of the good stuff!  this is a jar of the Original flavor (my favorite).  It contains peanuts, cashews, almonds, Brazilian nuts, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, hazelnuts, sea salt.  All organic.  No added sugar or oil.

Other reason NuttZo rocks: 

  • Legumes + nuts and seeds = a complete protein (all your amino acids)
  • Provides 50% of your DV of ALA Omega 3 per serving (650 mg)
  • A 16-ounce jar of NuttZo Original provides 14 servings – less than $1 per serving of organic nut-nutrition

Just in case you need some ideas for using nut butter, here are my top 5: 

(Note: many of these call for peanut butter or peanut flour, but you can sub in NuttZ or your favorite nut butter.)

1.  Nut Butter & Aggs 

All-time favorite breakfast invention.

 2. Nut Butter-Baked Oatmeal 

Perfect on a cold morning.  Like now.

3. Chili Nutty Tofu

Lauren can vouch for me – baked tofu is fantastic fluffy goodness.

4. Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

These are only 100 cals and have just 2g of sugar.  And you’d never know it.

5. Sweet Potato Nut Butter Ice Cream

To my fellow addicts: this is also amazing with pumpkin.

I get my new nutrition plan today… I’m at once relieved (this has been a junk food bender) and sad. 

What’s the most #strangebutgood way you eat nut butter?

What is your favorite lame joke?

Comments

  1. I could not pick ONE favourite way to eat pb- too hard a question. But, as an oatmeal topping, peanut butter hummous cookie dough, and spread on rice cakes, would rank very highly in my list of best ways to eat this wondrous food.
    I’ve been dyyyiiing to try NuttZo, but it’s not sold anywhere near me:(.
    Xxx

  2. The tofu sounds excellent. I might have to give that a try. I’m with Sarah, my favorite way to have any nut butter is on top of rice cakes in the morning. In fact, I think I’ve become addicted because I can’t have anything else for breakfast anymore!

  3. Ha Ha I heard that joke before.. and I still find it just as funny hearing it again!!

    Favorite way to eat PB: Well i don’t necessarily have a favorite, but i do love apples dipped in pb.

  16. Ive never tried Nuttzo before….looks yummy, but oh yeah sticker shock! I love nut butter straight from the jar, dipped with a handful of chocolate chips, over oatbran, in any baked good/ granola bar, on a cracker, or better yet a waffle/toast with a sliced banana and chia seeds. So good!

  17. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try Nutzo, but I’ve never had the guts to blow that much cash on a jar of nut butter hahaha! It sounds amazing!!! My favorite way to eat nut butter…hmmm…there’s so many! With apples, mixed in cottage cheese with protein powder, with tuna, and of course, with EGGS!!!! 😀

  19. i love eating it mixed into hot oatmeal! 🙂 or just on toast with homemade jam!

  20. i followed you on pinterest and repinned your “spaghetti” and “meatballs” – sounds delish! 🙂

  27. and my favorite way to eat nut butter (besides straight from the jar) would be smeared on a ripe banana!

  30. I like nut butter on sweet potatoes. Not sure if that is considered weird or not. I know in the “real” world it probably is, but to other bloggers it’s totally normal. It’s also very good.

  48. My favorite ways are on oatmeal or thinned out with some rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sriracha with some other spices for a sauce or marinade. With a little cilantro tossed in for good measure, it’s SOO good!

  57. I love topping everything and anything with nut butter! yogurt, toast, bananas…the list goes on…

  58. My favorite way to eat nut butter? Honestly, of a spoon, but if that’s not a good enough answer, than slathered on strawberries.

  62. Favorite lame joke:

    So a baby seal walks into a club …

    Favorite way to eat nut butter? Straight out of a jar. I need to cut back my intake. My metabolism type doesn’t process fats well, and nut butter is on the “do not ever eat” list. :/ Supremely lame. Though, I supposedly can have all the carbs in the world (personally I’d pick fats over carbs).

  73. Do you have any diet plans you could share? I follow your blog, but I’d love to get a glimpse at your strict pre-competition diet!

    Also, best way to eat nut butter i’d say either straight up or on a slice of cinnamon raisin ezekiel!

  74. I already follow you on Twitter, and I’d subscribe to your blog, but I don’t need to ’cause I’m here every morning anyway–I don’t need an e-mail reminder ;D

  75. Favorite way to eat nut butter=with a spoon. Second falls under the strange but good category–on top of curry-spiced omelets.

  76. aw man i am sorry you got your new nutrition plan, what are you prepping for now? I don’t like nut butters so I won’t enter this contest but it seems like people are loving this stuff!

  83. i love eating nut butters on sweet potatoes! The heat from the potato melts it slightly and makes it all gooey & yummy!

  87. Would love to try this and your suggestions/pictures look delicious. I had never heard of it till I read your competition posts.

    I do follow ou on Twitter.

  88. Would love to try this and your suggestions/pictures look delicious. I had never heard of it till I read your competition posts.

    I do follow you on Twitter.

  91. Other than by the spoon or finger FULL I like to eat nut butters on apple slices, on rice cakes on hot cooked cereals on on protein mike cakes…. eggs, celery sticks… love it any way!

  94. My favorite thing to do with nut butter is SCOOP MOUNDS RIGHT OUT OF THE JAR!!! I buy a new jar on Saturday, it’s half way gone by Sunday afternoon 🙂

  99. Pretty boring, I like to smear it on pumpkin spice protein bars lately, or in eggy oats or protein pudding.

  100. Right off the spoon! Or my finger. Or in oatmeal. Or on rice cakes. Really, everything I eat on a daily basis is just a vehicle to get peanut butter in my mouth.

  102. Yay for giveaways!

    So, really, what ISN’t good with nut butter? Maybe sardines? lol. I will eat it by the spoon, in smoothies, in Thai cooking, in baking, in protein “ice cream,” etc. SO SO good!

  110. And my fave way to eat but butter? Dare I say off a spoon!? 😉 I like to eat it on a banana but I’d say most especially mixed into things where it gets melty or I get surprise bites of it, like in oatmeal or a smoothie.

  118. My favorite way to eat nut butter is in a sandwich with bananas and honey on a hearty wheat bread. Mmmmmm 🙂 Or just straight up wth a spoon. Always a classic choice.

  135. My favorite way to eat nut butter….gosh there are really endless ways! I love it melted on a good old bagel, thats my dream food! I usually have it in my cottage cheese at night – SO freakin delish!!

  138. Like many of us – there are so many ways I love nut butter. Right now I am in the mood for some on sliced apples for a snack after a savory lunch a while ago.

  139. OH EM GEE, you’re a mind reader! One of my girlfriends and I were drooling over the Nuttzo website yesterday [yes, sad but true] 😛 Fave way to eat nut butter is PANCAKESSS!

  142. Mmm more nut butter! I eat it on everything!! My favorite way is always with a big ol ripe banana though! Usually in oats or on toast 🙂

  144. AH! I love lame jokes!! Yours just made my day hahaha One of my favorites is: What did the one strawberry say to the other?………If you weren’t so fresh we wouldn’t be in this jam.

    Anyway I forgot to congratulate you on your competition! You looked amazing! I’ve been a creeper blogger lately since school only seems to eave me with enough energy to read but never comment or post anymore blah.

    I love to eat nut butter just straight up. On a spoon. If it’s on anything else that just makes that food 10 times better 🙂

  146. Favorite way to eat nut butter is straight out of the jar!! YUM! I also LOVE it on my morning oatmeal… melty and soooo good!! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  148. My favorite way to eat nut butter is either straight from the jar or melted on something yummy like a microwave cake, oatmeal or flavored breads. Pretty much any way is my favorite way as long as it’s in my mouth (sounds totally dirty! haha)!

  154. Is there any way not to like nut butter!!! I am pretty boring.. on bread or right out of the jar! 🙂

    I first saw this great stuff on Dr. Oz. They were taste testing at Whole Foods after that & liked both but I just could not afford it for just 1 jar… YUMMY though!!!!!

  160. Nut butter on ice cream and by the spoonful is my favorite.

    Strange but good ways is in cottage cheese, on sweet potatoes, people think pb on croissants are weird. All those ways are normal in the blog world but others say its weird.

    And here is a lame joke:

    What did the worker at the rubber band factory say when he lost his job?

    OH SNAP!

    enjoy!

  161. I could but nut butter on/in anything or completely alone and LOVE it! mixed with my cottage cheese, on a sweet potatoe or in naughty (but oh so yummy!) dessert!! but i think my favorite would have to be with an apple or banana simple, delicious, and nutritious! 🙂

  168. I don’t know if I could pick my FAVORITE way to eat it…on sweet potatoes…in a wrap with banana, or just plain on a banana..or made add in some greek yogurt…or cottage cheese!…too many options!

  171. Favorite way to eat nut butter? I buy extra-crunchy so I can justify eating it right off the spoon :), but it’s also heavenly on warm toast when it gets all runny and rich and delishus.

  172. sooooo many ways to eat nut butter.. in eggs, oatmeal, added to shakes ,just out of the jar..Peanut butter is LOVE!!!

  177. My favorite way to eat nut butter? I have to pick just one?! I’d probably have to say as a topping to my yogurt bowls or paleo oatmeal!

  182. I could seriously eat nut butter with anything. I am completely obsessed. I would say my favorite way is with bananas! Yummmm

  183. I’ve been wanting to try Nuttzo, but it’s so drag gum expensive. I always cave for something cheaper. But I really need to try it at least once. But I tend to make peanut butter with peanut flour. Not PB2 with the added sugar and junk, just 100% peanut flour, light roast 12% fat. I love that just 1/4 cup has 16 g of protein, so I usually mix up about 3/4 of a cup (with about 1/3 cup of water to make peanut butter), and mix it up with oats, applesauce, cinnamon, stevia, sea salt, and some maple syrup. It’s basically unbaked oatmeal cookie dough. It’s amazing. Random, but amazing. P.S.–your arms look awesome! I wish I could get into the weight stuff, but I will forever be a cardio junkie.

  184. GAH! I just liked Nuttzo on facebook, and here is my comment!!! I NEED this is my life! It looks so delicious, and the nutrition facts just slay me – they’re amaaaaazing! I would LOVE to put it on top of some protein pancakes, or – heck – even IN them!! Maybe in some greek yogurt or oatmeal. How about just in everything? Deal.

  193. One of my favorite ways to use sunflower seed butter is over kabocha squash, on a rice cake broken up into almond milk, or over some (tvp) oats:)

  196. I love thinning it out with liquid and making a dressing with it for salads and veggies like roasted broccoli .

  197. My favorite way to eat nut butter?! This is rare, in special occasions, and only when I’m feeling daring…. My favorite way of enjoying nut butter includes myself, the jar if nut butter, and a big ole spoon… Serving size?! You asked out favorite way, so servin size isn’t even a worry;)

  206. I love nut butter on protein pancakes, but you can’t really beat it straight out of the jar with a spoon!

  213. I am so very guilty of enjoying nut butter by just dipping in a spoon, but if I’m being more civilized, on fruit or on top of oatmeal/protein muffins!

  215. Fave way to eat it is with a few dark chocolate chips. 🙂 This is why I’m a runner, not a figure competitor, need that bite of chocolate!

  223. ooh gosh favorite joke: what does a nosy pepper do?
    gets jalapeno business!

    aaaaand Im not sure if its possible to pinpoint a favorite way to consume nutbutter (as long as it gets in ma belly!) but I really enjoy it on sweet potato fries and also in no-salt cottage cheese with jam 🙂

  226. I love peanut butter and spinach sandwiches. Sometimes I’ll add sliced banana and/or honey, but it’s really amazing with just the two ingredients or all four. I get so many strange looks lol.

  236. My favorite way to eat nut butter is on top of protein pancakes with bananas – this nut butter looks unreal!!

  251. I’m fairly simple when it comes to nut butters. I like it on a rice cake. I like the plain rice cake, but nut butter really reaches a new tastiness when I put it on caramel corn rice cakes. Ok, I suppose this is fairly lame and mundane, but that way I get the full flavor of the nut butter which is the whole reason why I open the jar!!

  255. Im guilty of eating nutbutter straight from the spoon! Itsso sweet of you to do this! I bought and LOVED nuttzo once but its just too expensive to do again for a while! Congrats on your competition!

  270. I love nut butter on apple slices!
    All your pics & ideas for other nut butter creations make me want to try them all! I might have a new fave soon.

  271. Tonight, I made myself feel a little queasy by eatind endless spoonfuls of Canadian-made peanut hazelnut butter dipped into a bowl of vegan carob chips until they stuck all over the surface.

  273. My favorite way to eat nut butter is on ice cream or on apple slices. Just straight with a spoon is always good too 🙂

    I’ve been told that pb on croissants and sweet potatoes is weird – but I don’t really think it is that out of the ordinary.

    and here is your lame joke – What did the rubber band employee say when he got laid off??
    OH SNAP!

  278. I like nut butters in my morning oatmeal and smeared on banana nut bread with banana coins and honey!

  289. My favorite way to eat nut butter would have to
    Be on toast with banana and cinnamon on top or toast with peanut butter and bacon on top.. Yummy. Or just by the spoonful 🙂

  292. Best way to eat nut butter:
    Step 1. Get a spoon
    Step 2. Remove lid of nut butter
    Step 3. Dig in and enjoy!!!

    I have had to put myself on a timeout from almond butter but i have been dying to try this!!

  297. How do I use Nut Butters? Oh let me count the ways!! Okay so technically and honestly I’ve been MAKING my own nut butters in my Vitamix and then using them in my protein shakes…on my rice cakes…on bananas as a snack…ummm straight out of the JAR. I mean really. is there a bad way to eat nut butters?
    I’m obsessed….I’m a nutjob and I’m not ashamed.

  301. My FAV way to eat nut butter is on in my egg whites in the morning. DELISH!! LOVE LOVE LOVE nut butter!

  302. I went to try it and put it back on the shelf based on the price! I would love to try it in place of my favorite pb treat…on top of toasted ezekial raisin bread!
