Hello PeakD,

Still trying to avoid anything sweet until the weekend, so I decided to have some fruit with almond butter. Usually I have peanut butter, but this little jar was saw at the back of my cupboard and I forgot all about it. My regular followers will know I eat a lot of snacks and not healthy choices, so it makes a change having something a bit different.

Meridian Almond Butter Smooth

Our smooth almond butter is high in both Vitamin E and fibre, with each almond containing around 20% protein and low in saturated fat, perfect for maintaining a healthy diet. Made with 100% almonds, we roast the whole almond in their natural skins, then grind them down until smooth. Proudly certified palm oil free, we believe that delicious natural nut butters simply don't need to use it. So we don't, ever! Oil separation is natural, stir and enjoy!Our almond butters are naturally gluten and dairy free, contain no added sugar or salt and are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Normally when I fancy peanut butter, I eat it out of a jar with a spoon. I tried it with this and the almond butter is very claggy compared to peanut butter and it literally sticks to the roof of your mouth! I did make a conscious decision not to eat this with a spoon but to dip fruit into it. I cut myself a red apple into slices. I weighed out about 50g of almond butter and started dipping the apple slices in it. Surprisingly I really enjoyed it. It satisfied me well. Usually fruit makes me feel even more hungry, but the apple and the almond butter definitely was a great partnership. The almond butter was very smooth but it was sticky too. It was good though, because it stuck to my apple slice, whereas normally nothing sticks to fruit and it just slides off. The almond butter was a little bit grainy, but not over grainy. Again, I think this was good because it shows the product is essentially ground nuts. It tasted very nutty and rich. Not in the slightest bit processed. I would definitely have this again. It is an expensive way to have almond butter if I eat 50g at a time, but it’s much nicer and healthier than conventional run of the mill nut butters.

Very rich, very good for you and very satisfying. I even ended up dipping some left over strawberries into it and that was delicious too. I’d definitely get this one again.
