Real Nut-rition: How to Add Organic Nut Butter into Special Diets

Posted on : April 17th, 2017

food labels for special dietsSpecial diets can be tricky, whether you choose them voluntarily or on a doctor’s orders. So many of the foods on your grocery store shelves are contaminated with peanuts, gluten, non-vegan ingredients and more. Special diets often require you to cut out many of your old favorites. Getting balanced nutrition can become really hard!

If you’re having trouble finding tasty but nutritious foods that work with your special diet, organic nut butter is a surprisingly delicious solution. Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and other tree nuts provide healthy fats and protein to keep you full of energy. They’re also packed full of vitamins. Nut butter makes a tasty and nutritionally beneficial addition to all kinds of meals.

Not Just for Sandwiches

You might think of almond and other nut butters as a replacement for peanut butter in the classic PB&J. There’s a lot more to them than that, however. They’re a great way to add flavor and protein to almost any meal.

Think about trying Maisie Jane’s organic nut butters:

  • In your morning smoothie to boost the protein content and add healthy calories
  • As an egg substitute in baking; two tablespoons equals one egg!
  • Mixed with gluten-free tamari and sesame oil for an Asian-inspired dipping sauce
  • Instead of flour for protein-rich, paleo pancakes
  • As part of a batch of gluten-free homemade granola bars
  • Combined with coconut milk for a rich, dairy-free ice cream

Nut butter can be part of just about any meal, as long as you’re willing to think outside the jar. They act as binders when you can’t have eggs and provide richness in many recipes. Organic nut butter also amps up the protein content of vegan and vegetarian meals without the need for processed supplements or soy-heavy meat alternatives. It even makes a great addition to salads and soups. Try some almond butter in your next glaze or some organic cashew butter as a substitute for tahini.

Safe Nut Butters for Special Diets

Not every nut butter is the same, and not all products are appropriate for your special diet. Many facilities process their nuts along with ingredients that can cause havoc for people with allergies and sensitivities. Many use soy lecithin and other emulsifiers, add non-vegan sugars or include wheat and other ingredients that can play havoc with your diet.

That’s why it’s important to choose a brand that offers meticulous quality standards. Maisie Jane’s organic nut butters are made from the best almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. They’re natural, clean and safe, with no added salt, oils, sugar or preservatives. When you buy a nut butter, you want to know that you’re getting only the ingredients you expect, no added surprises.

Choosing our pure, dry-roasted nut butter products helps you be sure you get nothing but nuts in every jar. Maisie Jane’s products are made in a plant that doesn’t process peanuts, so there’s no risk of cross contamination if you or your loved ones have allergies. They’re also free of wheat and soy. Whether you choose cashew butter, almond butter or chocolate hazelnut, you’ll know that you’re buying food that’s wheat-free, sugar-free, and which contains no animal ingredients.

Maisie Jane’s organic nut butter is also Kosher and organic-certified. We use non-GMO ingredients for a product that is truly the way nature intended. That makes us a reliable choice for anyone who’s worried about the dangers of conventionally grown foods.
