Sweet Spreads CocoNutter [Review]

I was provided this product for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

There’s peanut butter, almond butter, cookie butter, who knows what else.. Keep reading health nuts, because today I’m bringing you CocoNutter. Coconut butter, get it? 😉 Founded in my homeland of Miami, FL, by Sweet Mama Mel, Sweet Spreads CocoNutter is an all-natural flavored coconut butter. It’s a gluten, dairy, soy, and preservative free product that can be used as a dip, spread, or just eaten off of a spoon (which is mostly how I enjoy it).

coconutter-flavorsSince I’m trying that eat healthier thing this year, I figure CocoNutter might be the prefect treat for me! Instead of reaching for a fudge brownie, why not grab a spoon and indulge in a sweet scoop of chocolate brownie flavored CocoNutter. I got the Sample Pack, which comes with a 4 oz. jar of all six flavors: vanilla cupcake, white chocolate, maple pancake, cinnamon roll, dark chocolate mint, and chocolate brownie.

Since I’m a newbie in the natural butter game, I didn’t realize that sometimes you need to stir these sort of things. When my CocoNutter arrived, I figured it was just melted since it was warm out in the mailbox. Nope. You need to stir it all together before digging in.

I started out by trying a little bit of each flavor! The vanilla cupcake flavor was a little bit thicker than the others, but with a little bit of time in the microwave, it smoothed right out. There is a bit of a coconut flavor along with the other flavor, as well as some grit, but I was easily able to get used to it.

I was expecting it to melt like butter would, but it didn’t quite do that (can you tell that I have zero experience with these types of butters?). It did make a great cinnamon toast substitute though. The vanilla cupcake and white chocolate flavors made a great addition to my breakfast smoothies, and the chocolate brownie flavor is fantastic on a banana or apple slices!
