Go Nuts

Having been allergic to nuts since the ripe old age of 10, I’ve had to give up my favourite lunchtime meal – peanut butter and banana on toast. So you can imagine my excitement when a jar of Freenut Butter (made from soybeans) was sent to me for sampling. I couldn’t believe how much it smelled like the “real thing.” The similarity in taste and texture made me panic, so I double-checked the ingredients once again. If you are a regular peanut butter eater you may be able to differentiate between the two, but for me it was the answer to my sandwich prayers. Freenut butter is also loaded with Omega 3 and 6, is trans-fat and cholesterol free, packed full of protein and best of all – Canadian! Even if you don’t have an allergy, this stuff is good.
