Meridian Almond Butter Smooth

Meridian Smooth Almond Butter is delicious and very good value for money. In order not to eat the whole tub in one go, I have created a fat bomb recipe to slow me down! Fat bombs are a great help when following a low carb/high fat diet. This recipe produces freezer type chocolates that are delicious and easy to make and which are stored in the freezer. I keep mine in screw top plastic jars which I call “sweetie jars”.

Here is my recipe.

Melt together over hot water:

75gms coconut oil

60gms butter

100gms Meridian Smooth Almond Butter

Add and thoroughly mix in:

3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Sweetener to taste (I use about 3 tsps powdered erythritol and 6 drops of stevia)

Pour into silicon moulds and place into freezer until solid then put into plastic jars or sealable bags. Keep in the freezer.

Great value bulk purchase of a super tasty, healthy nut butter. Meridian is typically one of the best producers of no-added nasties health foods, and this is no exception - you're getting almond butter, pure and simple, with no extra sugar, preservatives and such like.

The blend is REALLY smooth and delicious, and (to be honest) fairly addictive. I've switched to almond butter from peanut butter recently, to get the slightly higher protein / healthy fats kick. Try it spread on plain rice cakes - it tastes so indulgent that you could forget it's so much healthier than snacking on over-sugared confectionery.

A big winner from Meridian - we will easily get through a 1kg tub each month in our house!

My partner loves this stuff! We don't buy any other brand unless we really have to as this one is all natural, most tasty and the best for your health! Not quite as good as the peanut butter as this one is a little more bitter and drier but compared to other almond butters- this one is the best we have found!

Top Tip- always mix this before using to avoid dry patches at the bottom. The oil naturally separates which can put people off but this is actually a good quality sign.

Highly recommend.

I am in the US from the UK and was surprised to find so many Almond Butters have added extras. I was very happy to find this brand as it is what I was using in the UK. I have a daily smoothie and this is part of my protein intake so 1 kg is far more convenient than the smaller quantities sold. It has a nuttier flavor than some of the other brands as it has nothing added but that is a personal preference for me.

This is heaven for those of us who love nuts. I bought this thinking I would tryb something different and nut butters seem to be all the health rage at the moment, plus some of my amoothie recipes suggest using almond nut butter for a protein hit. I am pleased to say the product is delicious. I have so far used it in smoothies and spread on crackers for a tasty little energy hit and it really is lovely and nutty and creamy, bit with a bit of grittyness that I actually like. I haven't tried other brands yet, but realy like this one. Only slight niggle is the 1kg pot from My GYm Supplements (cheaper than buying direct or from stores) is a bit flimsy. Mine arrived with the top just popped and a very slight leakage - I decided to keep it anyway as it was wrapped in bubble wrap so nothing leaked outside this. Sadly this means I will have to eat it now within 3 months.... A real hardship that ;-)

Me and my family are in love with this stuff and between us go through a tub a month! It's super yummy and highly addictive on toast or rye bread with bananas! We also use it for baking, on crackers and in smoothies. It's creamy, delicious and only has one ingredient - almonds - unlike some other brands that add sugar or salt. It's my go-to healthy snack for my 5 year old daughter who loves it on crackers with bananas when she comes home from school.

When you first open it don't be freaked out by the oil on the surface - this is normal! Give it a really good stir with a knife to mix in the oil and make sure that the spread at the bottom is mixed in - otherwise it can go a bit hard at the end. I find that one really good mix when you first open, with the odd stir here and there does the job.

Also the lids a bit flimsy, so I always wrap it up in a plastic bag if I'm travelling anywhere with it. Not a reason not to buy it though, the taste and texture well make up for it! :-)

Lovely product when it arrives in one piece but when the pot arrives open and contents has spilt over everything in the box its not good!

So be warned of bad packing as gooey mess everywhere is not a good look.

What can I say. This great big tub can last you a while unless you eat alot of almond nut butter and it is a super economical way to buy it. If you have a recipe to make using it then it's an even better idea to get this if you intend to use it thereafter.

This stuff is delicious and versitile. You can eat it as it is, spread it on bread, put it on crackers, use it as a dip or put chocolate with it, add salt to it, add honey or maple/ date syrup to it or both salt and maple syrup. You could even put it in a smoothie with cacoa powder and banana and whatever milk you like; it's so good for you. 😊

Very nice texture with no added sugar and palm oil. Has a reach and creamy taste. Very delicious. Just half a toast, 2 hours before training and have another half one hour after it making my day! Doesn't affect my ibs at all. Ordered several times.
