Cool Hunting

by Maggie York-Worth

Made from quality, organic ingredients, Justin's delicious almond and peanut butters come packaged in smaller jars and convenient squeeze packs, ensuring they stay as fresh as possible. The range includes classic peanut butter and flavors such as chocolate hazelnut (from a newly-introduced chocolate line), maple almond and cinnamon peanut butters—all comprised of locally sourced, sustainably harvested nuts.

The assortment of flavors all deliver on taste, some more subtly while others are full of zest, but none of them overpower.

In addition to their nutty spreads, Justin's also nourishes impoverished communities (this year it's the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota) through their Conscious Alliance project, a humanitarian program that donates non-perishable foods. .

The travel pouches ($1) and jars ($10) sell at Whole Foods, Starbucks and Hannaford. They also sell online directly from Justin's.
