Trader Joe’s Almond Butter: Try It In A Banana Sandwich

Trader Joe’s Almond Butter is back… and this time in a yummy Banana Sandwich! We were shopping one morning last week, kinda early in the day for us, and as soon as you entered the store, you could smell the coffee.

So I naturally wandered rather quickly over to the sample area to get a cup to sip while I was shopping. And as I was there, I happened to peek over at the daily sample.

I almost dropped my cup of coffee!

The sample of the day was a wonderful open-faced Trader Joe’s Almond Butter and banana sandwich.  I was so surprise and delighted by the sample that I was momentarily and very uncharacteristically …speechless! I was instantly back in my college days when a peanut-butter and banana sandwich often went along with my late-night studying.

I had to tell you I indulged quickly in that tasty sample, and made sure to pick up another jar of Almond Butter just to make sure that I had enough at home. I was certainly planning to make a full-sized sandwich when I got home.

Fancy Trader Joe’s Twist: At Trader Joe’s they drizzled the sliced bananas with honey, a nice yet sticky touch that went well with the flavor of the banana and the Almond Butter.

So after gobbling my sample quickly in the store, I was able to slowly savor a taste of youth once I got home, thanks to shopping at Trader Joe’s.  I toasted my favorite bread, slathered on the Trader Joe’s Almond Butter and sliced up a firm, ripe banana.  YUM!!

Trader Joe’s Almond Butter- YUM!

Do you love peanut butter?

We just adore the stuff. We love to spread peanut butter on toast or apple slices or eat it with banana chunks (sometimes in a sandwich even).

Ooops! sorry peanut butter, there is a new kid in town…

We were shopping recently at Trader Joe’s , were planning on purchasing some more peanut butter, and a new product caught our eye… (hey thank goodness for that “new items” end cap, right?) Trader Joe’s Almond Butter with Roasted Flax seeds (Crunchy & Salted).

OK, you ask, how good could that stuff really be?

Well, let us tell you it is just FANTASTIC! We bought it, tried it, and then tried it on an apple, and were just amazed at how good the stuff is.

This is one of those natural  nut butters that is still very soft and runny even right from the fridge. It is both creamy, and yet still has small crunchy chunks of both toasted flax seeds and little pieces of almonds. It is just great on just about anything you spread it on.

We have enjoyed it soo much that we quickly ate through the first jar and we had to purchase a second one just so the picture would look OK. Yes, the sacrifices we make to share all these goodies with you here at Living Trader Joe’s…..

Bottom line? if you love peanut butter and you are interested in adding a new nut into your life, give this product from Trader Joe’s a try…

Enjoy! (let us know how you like it!!)
