Nut Butter Pairings for Breakfast

A healthy and satisfying breakfast sets the tone for the day and provides the energy and nutrients you need to power through the morning. Here are some great ways to add nut butters to your breakfast routine.

Toast, Bagels, and Muffins

Start your day with a simple yet delicious combination: nut butter spread on toast, bagels, or muffins. Choose whole-grain options for more fiber and nutrients.

For extra flavor, add fresh fruit such as sliced banana, strawberries, or blueberries. A sprinkle of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or cinnamon can also enhance both the taste and nutritional value of your breakfast.

Smoothies and Shakes

Nut butters are an excellent addition to morning smoothies or shakes. Blend your favorite nut butter with fruit such as bananas, berries, or mango, and add a liquid base like milk, yogurt, or plant-based milk.

For a protein-rich smoothie, add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt. You can also include a handful of spinach or kale for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals.

Yogurt and Granola Parfait

Layer your favorite yogurt with granola and a generous spoonful of nut butter for a delicious and nutritious parfait.

Choose low-sugar granola and add fresh fruit for natural sweetness. You can also top your parfait with nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and texture.

Oatmeal

Upgrade your oatmeal by stirring in a spoonful of your favorite nut butter. It adds rich creaminess, healthy fats, and protein.

You can also enhance your protein oatmeal with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Nut Butter Pairings for Lunch and Dinner

Nut butters can add a unique and delicious twist to your lunches and dinners, bringing extra flavor, creaminess, and nutritional value to your main meals.

Sandwiches and Wraps

Take your sandwiches and wraps to the next level by adding nut butter.

Combine peanut or almond butter with thinly sliced apples, bananas, or strawberries for a delicious fruit-and-nut sandwich.

For a savory option, spread almond or cashew butter on a wrap with grilled chicken, vegetables, and a drizzle of honey mustard. Nut butter adds richness and pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.

Salad Dressings and Dips

Create creamy and flavorful salad dressings and dips using nut butter.

Combine peanut butter with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey for an Asian-inspired salad dressing.

Alternatively, mix cashew butter with lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic for a tangy dairy-free Caesar-style dressing.

Nut butter can also be used as a base for dips, perfect with fresh vegetables or whole-grain crackers.

Asian Stir-Fries and Noodle Dishes

Enhance stir-fries and noodle dishes with nut butters.

Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic to create a delicious sauce for stir-fried vegetables and your choice of protein, such as chicken, tofu, or shrimp.

For a tasty noodle dish, mix almond or cashew butter with coconut milk, lime juice, and red curry paste to create a Thai-inspired sauce.

Fruit and Vegetable Platters

Nut butters make a delicious and nutritious dip for both fruit and vegetable platters.

Prepare a simple dip by mixing nut butter with a small amount of milk or a plant-based alternative until you reach your desired consistency.

Add honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup for a sweeter dip, or add a pinch of salt. For a spicy twist, try our ChilliNuty, or add a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper.

Serve with a variety of fresh fruit or vegetables for a healthy and tasty snack or appetizer.

Desserts and Sweet Treats

Upgrade your desserts by adding nut butters.

Stir peanut or almond butter into brownies or blondies for a rich, nutty flavor, or use it as a topping for ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Nut butters also pair beautifully with fruit-based desserts, such as apple slices dipped in almond butter or cashew butter drizzled over baked pears.

Drinks
