The Best Functional (Superfood) Nut Butters
A spoonful of functional nut butter is a little like hiding medicine in peanut butter for your dog. It's a double dose of good-for-you-ness: healing nuggets wrapped up in irresistible nut butter (or perhaps - blended).
Nut Butter + Superfoods is a match made in heaven. Superfoods are those considered nutritionally dense and thus good for your health. Nut butter is a great vehicle for superfoods as many are fat-soluble and will absorb more efficiently in your body when eaten with oily nuts & seeds.
There are lots of nut butters to enjoy that offer the added benefits of mineral-rich seeds, belly-loving bacteria, rare medicinal berries, and even nutrient-dense mushrooms.
Here are a few of our favorites:
