Nuts! – Nut Butters by Ingr-EAT-ients

Yesterday I got two delicious nut butters from Ingr-EAT-ients – Pistachio Butter and Almond Coconut Butter.

I was super excited to try them partly because a good friend and fellow trainer, Eddie Thomson, makes them and partly because I see his food pictures on Instagram all the time and they always look SO FREAKING GOOD! (Ok mostly because I seriously drool every single time I look at his food prep pictures on Instagram!)

Not only does he make healthy meals, butters, bars, fruit leathers, and shakes that look beautiful and delicious, but he doesn’t use any processed crap.

Everything is all natural and made with the highest quality ingredients…like literally….Even when his go-to stores are out of the product he wants, he doesn’t just settle for a lower quality ingredient.

Nope!

He freaking drives around to other stores and markets until he finds what he wants.

Eddie is fanatical about providing the cleanest, highest quality product. And when I say fanatical, I mean it in the best way.

Anyway, on to the nut butters that I got!

So I got Pistachio (because I’ve never even seen Pistachio butter before) and Almond Coconut (because well…I love both those flavors).

Can I just say…

I LOVE THEM BOTH!

Half of both jars might just be gone after last night because I kept sneaking back to the kitchen to eat just one more spoonful.

I love that “just one more game.”

I tell Ryan, “I’m going to have just one more…”

And then I say that about 50 more times before I actually eat “just one more.”

BUT, regardless of how much more is left, what made both of these two nut butter so special is how FRESH they tasted and how clear the flavors were.

The pistachio butter really tasted like pistachio. And the almond coconut really tasted like almonds and coconut.

I also liked the texture of both. The pistachio was super creamy and the almond/coconut butter had that texture that coconut butter has that I really like.

The neat thing to is that Eddie uses coconut oil in all of his nut butters. Coconut oil is seriously amazing for you. Tons of good healthy fats.

However, the idea of coconut oil in my nut butters made me a bit nervous.

Pistachios and coconut? Hmmm….

But it was really good! And honestly there was only the littlest hint of coconut if you really tried to find it.

So great flavor and a little extra health bang for your buck?!? SIGN ME UP!

The nut butters were amazing and made me feel like I was treating myself to a great little dessert (especially when I put a bit of the almond coconut butter on some local, organic strawberries that Ryan had put in the freezer!)

Ingr-EAT-ientsproducts were DELICIOUS. And the best part is that they are all homemade and have no unnecessary crap in them.

If you are looking for healthy clean eats that make you ENJOY eating well, I would definitely recommend you give these products a try.

(And if you are in SoCal, you can help support a local business!)

The only downside to these products, in my opinion, is that Eddie lists them as vegan…just kidding…but seriously….

My next nut butter to try might just have to be cashew espresso…Although my clients would tell you I’m slightly scary on caffeine!

What are your favorite healthy, clean eats?

P.S. If you like drooling over food pictures and have Instagram, Eddie’s Instagram is @coach_eddie!

  1. Oh my gosh. I need the almond coconut. I NEED it. My only concern is that I’ll order it and it will not survive shipping in this heat wave.
