NOOSH Brand brings us delicious almond butters and protein powders the whole family will love.  With minimal ingredients that are hard to beat and the benefit of added protein.

Here at our house, we love NOOSH Almond Butter & Protein Powder.  The almond butter packets are a quick and easy snack for the kids, easy to pack for on-the-go, are full of protein, and have an incredible flavor.  Each flavor we’ve tried, we’ve loved. NOOSH sent us samples of 4 almond butter flavors and three almond protein powders. I was searching for more healthy snack ideas for the kids and wanted to give these a try.

Our first flavor we tried was Cupcake.  I have each of the boys a packet at breakfast one morning so they could drizzle it on their Crispy Gluten-free Waffles.  First we did the “Smoosh the Noosh” and then they got to squeezing it out. Their first taste and they declared, “Wow, it tastes just like a cupcake!”  Let’s just say it was love at first sight for these boys!

The almond butter is creamy, easy to get out of the packets, and tastes so wonderful it’s hard to stop at only one.  The four boxes of NOOSH packets didn’t last too long in our pantry. Each day the boys would beg for another one. And several times I found my youngest with chocolate smeared all around his mouth…hmmm, I wonder how that got there?  I should have taken a picture.

The NOOSH Almond Butter and Protein Powder packets are free from peanuts, soy, dairy, gluten and corn.  Love finding dairy-free & gluten-free snacks. So if you’re looking for an alternative to peanut butter, this is one to try.  The creamy, silky smoothness is one you’ll fall in love with and want more of. We loved adding a NOOSH packet to our morning waffles, bringing them on hikes, and enjoying them for afternoon snacks.

For a favorite pick I would have to say the NOOSH Coffee Almond Butter would be my pick.  The creamy almond butter mixed with flavors of coffee (with no added caffeine) is simply amazing.  Judging on how quickly the Coffee flavored Almond Butter was flying out of the pantry, it’s safe to say that was Brandon’s favorite too.  After lunch, he would bring a packet to work to have as an afternoon snack. The kids’ favorites were definitely Cupcake and Birthday Cake, because they tasted like the real thing!  Plus with only 1 gram of sugar per packet, they’re mom approved over here! Anytime I can find a snack that’s low in added sugar, I do a little happy dance in the kitchen!

NOOSH Brand Almond Butter & Protein Powders are awesome in smoothies.  We started using the Almond Protein Powders in our daily smoothies. A great way to boost the amount of protein in the smoothie, with adding 17 grams per packet.  The protein powder has minimal ingredients, in the Almond Protein Powder Unflavored the only ingredient is ALMONDS! Just a few more simple ingredients for the Vanilla Bean and Chocolate.  When added to a smoothie there’s no chalky taste, no thickening, just the great taste of your original smoothie, but with the benefits of added protein!  We loved the Chocolate Protein Powder in our smoothies, anytime there’s a hint of chocolate…PERFECT!  I also found that baking with the Protein Powders worked like a charm.  I used a quarter of a cup of Unflavored Protein Powder in my No-Bake Apricot Bars and in Double Chocolate Blender Brownies.  It didn’t alter the taste of the bars and brownies and I loved being able to add the benefits of almonds and their protein to a treat for the kids.
