I love butter. All types of butter. But especially butters of the peanut variety. There’s just something about the smooth, creamy taste of peanut butter. After I read Born to Run, I started adding chia/flax seed to everything, including my peanut-butter-and-toast combo. I love the added crunch and nutritional benefits of chia/flax seed – but chia and flax can be messy (and if you’ve ever tried chia, it’s not the easiest to clean up).
A few months back, my sister met Danielle – she was a Sowing Seeds of Love volunteer – and then my (peanut butter) life changed.
Danielle is the creator of NuttZo. When Danielle and her husband adopted 2 boys from the Ukraine that were vitamin deficient, she became focused on preparing creative, flavorful, super-nutritious foods for them. NuttZo is one of her favorite creations!
If you like nuts, seeds, and vitamins, you’re going to love Nuttzo (and the experience will be life-changing). NuttZo is an Omega 3 powerhouse of nutrition blended into a delectable butter. Everything is organic, but without sacrificing taste. NuttZo comes in three different flavors and can be found at Whole Foods (across the US), or for my VA locals, you can purchase NuttZo at Whole Foods or Mom’ Organic Market.
Blue : peanuts, flax, hazelnut, cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds
Red (peanut-free): chia, flax, hazelnut, cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds
Brown (chocolate): dark chocolate, peanuts, flax, hazelnut, cashews, Almonds, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds
A few of my favorite recipes:
Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie
1 banana
2 tbsp NuttZo (any flavor you want)
1/2 c Almond Milk
1/2 c Water
1 tbsp Chia
1 tbsp Flax Seed
Ice
Add all ingredients to a blender, blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Truffles
1/3c raw cashews or almond ground into fine powder
1 T Himilayian Goji Berries ground
½ T raw mesquite powder
¼ C Penut Free
¼ Cup Original Nuttzo
1/8 c mini dark chocolate cup
1/3 c Bob’s Red Mill muselli
1 T Honey
Mix all ingredients with your hands, roll into 8 small balls, refrigerate for 3 hours in closed container. Roll each ball in cocoa powder. Enjoy!

Oh awesome giveaway. I’ve not tried this brand but have seen so many bloggers talk about it. I’m torn between the blue and the red. I’m thinking the red b/c of the chia and pumpkin seeds.

Excited for the Blue flavor the most – what a nutty combo! Also for a simple recipe – I like mixing cinnamon & cocoa with peanut butter too!
I like Nutzo on Facebook too!
I am so excited to try this!! Looks amazing!
I love love love anything that involves peanut butter, and would love to add the Blue label variety to smoothies and frozen yogurt!
I would love to try the peanut free version. That sounds interesting! My favorite PB recipe would be peanut butter over-night oats.
I would love to try them all, but the chocolate looks awesome. I might try these in a peanut butter cookie recipe that I have.
all those flavors sound awesome and that truffle recipe is new to me. I have to try it soon!
definitely the red since it looks paleo-friendly! Just picked up a jar today 🙂
I want to try the Peanut Free version. Actually, I want them all. My favorite recipe is just PB on sprouted toast w/ honey, cinnamon, and banana.
the brown one – dark chocolate – sounds amazing! i’m an anything-butter fan, and LOVE putting peanut butter in my oatmeal in the mornings 🙂

I think the Brown (chocolate) sounds the best to me!
Red for me…love cashews, almonds and pumpkin seeds. My latest favorite recipe is Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Cookies. Nutty salty chocolatey goodness. 🙂
Ooh, I want to try them all!!! I love peanut butter.
I don’t actually cook with it though because I have a kid with peanut (and hazelnut and almond) allergies.
Would love the blue with all the nuttiness inside! And my favorite pb recipe is traditional peanut butter cookies! Yum!

I’m most excited to try the brown chocolate jar. My favorite Peanut butter recipie is the classic peanut butter and banana on toast. Great way to start a morning or snack!
I’m gonna go red. My fave isn’t really a recipe. I make a pb & waffle “sandwich” topped with syrup. Umm… delicious! I’m wondering why I haven’t known this my whole life!!
Love this!!! So hard to decide…Brown 1st, cause I love DARK CHOCOLATE, then Red and blue, I would love to try all!!
Favorite PB recipe…PB on everything, apples, bananas, celery…..a spoon!!

Yum! I’m most excited to try the blue (and also the red, sounds delish!) I’m a peanut butter purist. I like mine on Wonder Smart White with Grape jelly. Nothing beats a good ole PBJ on the comfort food scale for me 🙂
I would love to try to brown (chocolate flavored)
as far as a recipe goes … how about a simple pb&j sandwich 🙂
I would love to try the Chocolate one. I would need to add it to pancakes or cookies to make it just the perfect sweet!
My favorite peanut butter recipe would probably be healthy granola peanut butter protein bars! I also have a favorite peanut butter snack. I take two chia based vegan waffles and put peanut butter, organic fruit spread, chia seed, hemp seed, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes between the two! Its great! I love all nut butters! Also, I would like to try the Chocolate Nuttzo because Im a HUGEEEEE nut butter fan and anything with chocolate just makes my mouth water! I’m very excited for this contest! I hope I win! I liked Nuttzo on Facebook and also tweeted this contest! <3 😀
