Sponsor Spotlight: SunButter

We are so excited to be posting our first Sponsor Spotlight, and hope that as you read our Sponsor Spotlights you will see that we have indeed done our research and found only the best-of-the-best companies to share the trail with. 

So let's hear it for SUNBUTTER! Woooooooooo!!!!

To start off, let us tell you our conversion story, and how we found our love for sunflower butter. Ask any of our parents and they will tell you that growing up Christopher and I were both HUGE peanut butter lovers (especially when paired with chocolate - yum). As Chris grew older he developed a peanut sensitivity, and it was no longer a good idea for him to eat anything with peanuts or almonds. And so his taste for sunflower seed butter was born. When we were dating he had me try it... and I'll be honest, I was so set in my peanut butter loving ways that at first taste I convinced myself this hippy-sunflower-butter-nonsense wasn't any good. Not long after I tasted it again and realized it was actually pretty dang tasty. Now we both eat it and love it. We enjoy it on pancakes, toast, tortillas, in desserts, with chocolate, with fruit, from the spoon, and just about any other way you can imagine.  

Of all the sunflower butters we have tried our favorite is SunButter. Unlike other sunflower butters, SunButter is processed in a facility that guarantees their product is peanut and tree nut free (and if you're one of those unlucky people allergic to everything shy of air itself the good news is it's also gluten, dairy, egg, and sesame free). SunButter has no trans fats, as well as the same amount of protein, more vitamin E, and double the fiber than peanut butter. This is a kosher product that comes in BPA free jars. We like the plastic jars because they are lighter than the glass jars other sunflower butters come in, making the product more lightweight for long backpacking trips. They also make great 1.1 oz SqueezePacks for short day hikes or overnight trips [we just found out these are going to be discontinued, and are being replaced with 1.5oz On-The-Go cups].

We encourage you to try SunButter for yourself, because no matter how many facts we could list about the product, at the end of the day there are two reasons why we choose SunButter - it tastes great and we love it!
