Last trip to Trader Joe’s, I picked up some new Almond Butter & Fruit Spread. I got the Raw Creamy Unsalted Almond Butter and also the Roasted Almond Butter with Sea Salt (which will be reviewed in a later post). I was looking for my beloved Pumpkin Butter, but ’tis all sold out until fall. I found a new fruit spread, though – Organic Superfruit Spread (a blend of Morello Cherry, Red Grape, Blueberry & Pomegranite). I tried these both out this morning for breakfast on my brown rice cakes (I also spread them both atop my gluten-free Nature’s Path waffles the other day…YUM!).

Both of these spreads are just amazing. The almond butter is perfect. It is less expensive than other comparable brands and I can get it locally, a huge plus in my book. $4.99 is much more doable than $7.99 – $10.99 + shipping costs. I can almost justify my addiction now! 😉 LOL! Great texture and a very slight sweet taste. Spreads great even after being kept in the fridge. A++++ in my book! The Superfruit spread is unique and delicious! Love the chunks of fruit!! I much prefer fruit spreads to preserves because I don’t need sugar (or HFCS) added to my fruit, thank you. I also don’t need artificial sweeteners added to my fruit, either. Some brands of all fruit spreads have really disappointed me because there are no pieces of fruit. How can you have fruit spread with no fruit? I don’t want fruit juice spread. I believe that this spread from Trader Joe’s was $2.99, a great price in my opinion. The taste is awesome, as is the texture. Lots of different flavors going on. Trader Joe’s does it again!
