From the Mouth of a Kid:

I like this pasta! It’s red and yummy!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

I was thrilled when I discovered Tolerant Foods pasta. My son was recently tested allergic to gluten, but loves pasta, so I was nervous about trying to find a gluten-free pasta that still has the same great taste as regular wheat pasta. Thankfully, Tolerant Foods Red Lentil Penne is my son’s new favorite pasta of choice, he loves the red color and thinks it tastes amazing. I also love that it’s high in plant protein and low in sugar, not to mention it has a lot of fiber. Plus it’s made with only one ingredient: red lentils! What more could you ask for?

Time to Eat?!

Product Review: Barney Butter https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-barney-butter/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-barney-butter/#respond Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:30:49 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=6906

Looking for a great tasting, all natural, alternative to peanut butter? The Creative Kitchen would like to introduce Barney Butter, an almond butter spread that first began in a mom’s kitchen. Made with the best California almonds, Barney Butter is “no stir” (the oils don’t separate!) and does not need refrigeration. Get out your jelly and bread because we’re making almond butter and jelly sandwiches!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It is so smooth and creamy! I love when my mom spreads it on bananas for me!

From the Eyes of a Parent:Barney_butter_Jars

I had been struggling to find a smooth, great tasting, and convenient peanut butter alternative for my child’s peanut allergy. Barney Butter has the same texture as peanut butter and the same roasted nut flavor, but it doesn’t contain any peanuts and is made in a peanut-free facility! It’s the perfect substitute for not just my son, but my whole family now, too.

Flavorful Features:

Barney Butter Almond Spread comes in a variety of types and flavors, including:

 

  • smooth
  • crunchy
  • bare
  • cocoa and coconut
  • raw and chia
  • honey and flax
  • vanilla bean and espresso

The Icing on the Cake:11073500-barney-butter-logo

Barney Butter almond butter is free of gluten, trans fats, and hydrogenated oils. It has half the saturated fat of peanut butter, and is also non-GMO and gluten-free certified.

Time to Eat?!

Almond butter can be had any time of day: spread it on a sandwich for lunch, or serve it with crackers or fruit for a snack.

Good to Go?

Yes! Barney Butter sells two types of squeeze packs: a 90-calorie 0.6-ounce snack pack, and a 180-calorie 1.06-ounce single-serve pack.   

Mix it Up!

Heat it up and drizzle almond butter on top of frozen yogurt for a nutty treat!
