Best Nut & Seed butter EVER!

Dear NuttyHero, Thank you making tasty nut & seed butters full of such great ingredients. When I’m running late for [insert meal/snack time here, cause it’s all of them!] I feel reassured my tired mommy self and kiddos are getting a balanced amount of proteins, fats, and energy that will sustain us through the day. I also use them in smoothies, stir fires, curries, sandwiches, desserts and more! My personal favourite thing about your nut butters is when my husband and I eat the whole jar absentmindedly while divulging in our daily dramas, sitting in the hallway as our kids FINALLY fall asleep. And after that spoon scapes the bottom and we look at each other in horror of what we’ve done, there’s still no tummy ache. If it’s passed the “oops-i ate the whole jar in one sitting test” and I still feel great, it’s a 5 star product in my books!! ;)

Hi Jen! Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with our NuttyHero products. We are thrilled to hear that our nut and seed butters have become a staple in your household and have been enjoyed in so many different ways. We completely understand the feeling of eating a whole jar, we worked hard to make our products delicious besides the level-up nutrition!

Thank you again for your support and for choosing NuttyHero. We hope to continue providing you and your family with tasty and healthy options for all your meals and snacks :)

Just fantastic nut butter

This nut butter has been a delicious addiction to my weekly diet. I find it works wonders with a post workout smoothie. My recovery is much better including these healthy fats. The taste is very nice, like natural nuts and honey blended together. Overall I'm very pleased and highly recommend it.

Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for leaving such a glowing review for our Honey Vanilla nut butter. We're thrilled to hear that it has become a delicious addition to your weekly diet and has improved your post-workout recovery. We take great pride in creating a product that not only tastes great, but also provides healthy fats/micro-nutrients for your body. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to enjoy our nut butter. Have a fantastic day!

I’ve sampled 4 of the 5 butters and they are unbelievably delicious. Schmeared onto toast, dolloped on my morning muesli, or drizzled over dates- I can’t get enough of this stuff.

Hello Caroline,

Natalie T. (Okotoks, Canada)
Amazing product

The sample pack was fantastic. After trying each one I immediately signed up for a subscription.
I have used the nut butters in oatmeal, in protein balls, on apples and bananas, in yogurt, and straight out of the jar.
The flavor is amazing and I love the little crunch that is in each jar.
I think I have a favorite, but then I eat from the next jar and I have a new one.
I also love the story of this company. I am impressed with their hard work and wanted to support them.
These nut butters are delicious and I highly recommend them.

Best nut butter ever

This nut butter is the best tasting I’ve had. No other company uses this many nuts and seeds. It’s a definite splurge but nutrition and taste make up for it.

Love that it’s local and ingredients are sourced locally as much as possible. Very easy to order online and quick delivery. I will definitely continue to buy and savour.

Hi Shan, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you think NuttyHero is the best nut butter you've ever tasted. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy our products. Have a great day :)
