My First Ever GIVEAWAY!!

First of all, thanks to everyone who sent such sweet thoughts my way yesterday! My and my jacked up lungs are learning to co-exist, but your words of encouragement made it even easier!

Anyway, remember on Monday when I hinted that I had a giveaway coming up this week? Pretty sure today is the day!

***EDITED TO ADD: I’ll have you all know that this must be some good stuff cause Tally keeps circling the box of SunButter, on full sniffer alert. If I don’t send this stuff out soon, I’m gonna have a SunButter filled puppy on my hands!***

Back this summer, I mentioned that I had received an awesome bag of goodies when I competed at the Barkin’ Dog duathlon. In this bag, I received a sample of SunButter. I had never heard of it before, but I gave it a try and loved it.

Their website describes SunButter as the following:
  

SunButter® is a great tasting alternative to peanut butter. A seed butter that is made in the USA from specially roasted sunflower seeds, SunButter® products are completely peanut-free, tree-nut free, and gluten-free. The sunflower seed spread products are all processed in a peanut-free and tree-nut free facility, making them an excellent choice for people with peanut allergies or gluten intolerance. 

Even better than being peanut-free and gluten-free? It also has 1/3 less saturated fat than peanut butter. Now, I’m not a nutritionist, but I’m pretty positive that saturated fat = no bueno!

At first, the thinner consistency took some getting used to, especially for me. I eat a lot of almond butter and we all know how thick almond butter can get once it has been refrigerated–I’m pretty sure I’ve snapped a few plastic knives 🙂 Because of this, I was originally weirded out by the runny consistency of SunButter– it is substantially thinner. Once I got past that, however, I really enjoy putting SunButter in my oatmeal and overnight oats. It still adds that nutty flavor, only with less fat. I’m not averse to nuts or gluten, so those factors aren’t super important for me. I just like the way it tastes!

Guess what else? Elizabeth at SunButter has agreed to give one lucky read this!

One full sized jar of SunButter plus 6 individual sample packs! I suppose I could have broken it up into multiple winners, but I think it’s more fun this way. It’s like it’s your birthday! Besides, my giveaway = my rules 🙂

What you have to do to win:

  1. Be a follower of my blog and tell me that you are in the comments below (mandatory, +1 entry)
  2. Share my giveaway via your blog, twitter, fb, whatever social media platform you prefer (+1 entry)
  3. Just for giggles–which type of nut spread to you prefer? Almond, peanut, sunbutter, etc? (+1 entry)

Winner will be chosen at random on Monday, November 14. Gooooooooood luck!

These products were given to me free of charge, but the opinions are my own.

    I realize it is more of a spread than a butter, but Nutella is my weakness. Seriously. I have pretty much banned it from my house because I can eat the entire jar by myself. Yep, champion Nutella eating is just one of my many qualities. 😉

    As for an actual butter, I’m an old fashioned peanut butter gal. I love a classic PB&J sandwich with a cold glass of milk. So good.

    My favorite kind (so far) is almond butter, but I’ve never tried sunbutter, so winning this could totally change my mind 😉

    My favorite is almond butter, but my son loves SunButter. My kids get only SunButter at their preschool because nut butters are too allergenic. So even though my kids are fine with nuts, they are already converts.

    Hmmmm….Interesting.
    A)I love chocolate covered sunflower seeds; ever tried ’em? They are delightful. B)My heart also belongs to Nutella (especially on my strawberries), and I totally count it as a nutty spread even though I’m conviced there’s more coco beans in it than anything else!!! But, I’ve been also munching on White Chocolate Wonderful since you told me to. I I I I do what eva you say masta….. C)Just becuase I love you (and I like to be different than the crowd), I’m going to share this link on my facebook! D) You know I’m a devouted follower. (Thanks for checking on me BTW, I’ve just been in LaLa Land trying to get this new home straightned out. Details to come.) E) It was just my birthday, so I deserve this give away!!!!! F) I made my comment extra long to make up for the extra delayed responses this week!
