Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend was full of adventure as I spent all day Friday at the Crossfit Games at the Reebok Headquarters in Canton, MA! So fun! I will be doing a whole post with the excitement of the day later this week!
But before we get to that, I have something exciting for YOU today! A few weeks ago, Mama Mel from SweetSpreads sent me a box of her delicious coconut butters to try and play with in some recipes! Of course, before the recipe testing, I had to just stick my finger into each flavor and give them a try! They come in:
Vanilla Cupcake
White Chocolate
Chocolate Brownie
Dark Chocolate Mint
Cinnamon Roll
Maple Pancake
Don’t those flavors sound AMAZING?! The Cinnamon Roll and Maple Pancake were my top 2 favorites…..soooo good that I didn’t even save enough to create a recipe with because I ate it all straight from the jar! Ooops! ?
But I did manage to save some of the Chocolate Brownie for this recipe and some of the Vanilla Cupcake for another recipe that will be coming soon! So, watch out!
These coconut butters are also all natural made with only coconut flakes, coconut oil, raw pecans, vanilla extract, cane sugar and then the different flavors for each! The nutritional stats are amazing too! One Tablespoon is:
120 calories
10g Fat (MCT form)
6g Carbs
2g Fiber
3g Sugar
1g Protein
Pretty awesome, huh?!
So, I bet you are wondering how this is a treat for you, right? Scroll down to the bottom and get ALL the details!!
