Five-Year Blogiversary

This blog turned 5 years old last week. Honestly where has the time gone? To celebrate, I’ve got some fun things lined up from companies I’ve loved from the beginning of time. Let’s get the party started with this one. If you’re a MHS Facebook fan, I hope you didn’t miss your chance to win there as well. According to tradition, the 5-year anniversary gift is wood or silverware. For runners I’m pretty sure it’s nut butter so let’s go with that.

Justin’s Nut Butter. I couldn’t resist this throwback pic from 2011, when I first scored a huge stash of Justin’s. Good times. Would ya look at the hair? These days I treat myself to some Justin’s from time to time because face it, it’s that special. Lately I’ve been harboring an entire jar of Maple Almond Butter. So extraordinary I recommend it straight up. No bagel, cracker or other vehicle to distract from it’s pure, unadulterated perfection.
Justin’s products are vegan, kosher, non-GMO, gluten- and dairy-free. The bases are covered, just pure, nutty goodness.

  1. I like to put a spoonful in my oat bran, or slather it on some whole wheat toast or English muffin.

  11. I like my nut butters smeared on homemade banana nut bread topped with sliced bananas and honey!

  18. I enjoy it straight from the jar! Usually on a spoon (or fingers if I’m particularly ravenous!).

  22. I like to eat it as a snack stuffed in dates. I also eat it on an English muffin before a long run. Yum!

  27. I love your excited Nut Butter hair and face!! Congrats on the big milestone, Marcia! I am glad to know you here on the interwebs and hope to see you IRL someday 🙂

  35. I just recently discovered flavored peanut and I can’t believe I’ve been missing out all this time! Now I’m on a mission to try out other flavored nut butters. Justin’s is on my list!

  53. I’ve never had or seen Justin’s nut butter. Is that something I can get in STL?

    I put nut butter in chocolate protein smoothies. It’s like Reece’s. Mmmmm… I also like it on apples.

  54. Just picked up the Justin’s hazelnut chocolate to try – absolutely delicious! I put peanut and almond butter on everything. Haven’t found a bad combination yet.

  55. i am pretty sure i would enjoy squirting that right into my mouth! or on apples. I also do not know if I would share either.

  60. I’ve never tried Justin’s Nut Butter but given that I eat sunflower butter with a spoon, winning some of this sounds perfect!

  61. Nut butter is best eaten out of an almost empty jar with warm oatmeal or a warm chocolate protein mugcake to scrape every little last bit from the jar lol

  67. I know the packets are available here and I’m happy to see the peanut butter cups are now available at a nearby store, too.

    I ate nut butter on toast yesterday. Kept me going on my 14 mile run!

  70. I love nut butter in the afternoon for a pick me up snack and enjoy it with celery sticks!

  72. I like to put a little almond butter in a smoothie with frozen bananas and almond milk. Yum!

  73. I love to put nut butter on pretzels or in oatmeal, I eat it at all times of the day!

  93. I love nut butters in an oatmeal, or as a complement to veggie/fruit slices! The packets are perfect for a workday apple Alice snack!
