A STICKY SITUATION

“Peanut, peanut butter….JELLY!”  See Soph and Liv enjoying their sandwiches HERE! 

There is Nut’n better then a PB & J!  For those of you who have peanut allergies in the family, you will be happy to know that there are options in this “sticky situation!”

Almond Butter:

• Great source of omega 6 and an even better source of omega 3!
• Most nutrient dense nut!  Packed with iron, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium and vitamin E!
• Great source of fat and protein for your growing babe!

Pecan Butter:

• Pecans are amazing, in a nut shell 😉
• Packed with vitamins A, B and E.
• Great source of potassium and fiber to keep that system in check!

Cashew Butter:

• Rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc and copper.
• May help lower triglyceride levels.

Pumpkin Butter:

• Packs more of a protein punch than peanut butter!
• Contains beta-carotene – boost that immune system!
• Great source of fiber and potassium.

These are my top 4 favorites!  More better butter options are:

• Tahini
• Sunflower
• Walnut
• Pistachio
• Macadamia Nut
• Hazelnut
• Coconut
