If you know anything about me you know that I’m slightly obsessed with Justin’s Nut Butter. I’m convinced that everything is better with a little swipe of Peanut Butter or spoon dunk of Almond Butter; it truly is the glue that holds my life together.

I used to be devout Maple Almond Butter fan, but when you have Honey Peanut Butter, Chocolate Hazelnut Butter AND a new flavor, Maple Cashew Butter to choose from I decided there was more room in the club for a favorite. 🙂

The man behind the magical jars, Justin Gold, is probably the most creative, innovative and forward thinking human I’ve ever met. (and yes I have met him and when I did I almost died) I think the peanut butter gods blessed him with an extra scoop when he entered the world.

Right now they’re in the process of rolling out 11 new products including cashew butter, cashew butter cups (like PB cups but, you know, with cashew butter) cinnamon almond butter (WUT) and a mega huge jar of Peanut Butter. If you haven’t had a Justin’s Squeeze Pack (or anything Justin’s) please go to the grocery store right now and bless yourself with the goodness.

This man is organized, focused and disciplined, which are qualities you have to have to have a family while also running an incredible business. I can’t wait for you to meet him!

Go back to the very first time you made a nut butter… why did you decide to do it? What kind was it?
Peanut butter and Banana was my first. I used fresh banana’s! It
tasted great for about 10min, then it turned to mush . . .

What’s your favorite flavor and favorite way to eat nut butter?
Maple Cashew. Eaten right out of the jar with a spoon – of course.

If you would have never made that first jar of (peanut?) butter, what do you think you would be doing now?
I have no idea . . .

Tell us about a time where you faced a challenge or a bump in the road and what did you do about it?Â
No one would make a nut butter squeeze pack for me. No one. So I
borrowed money from my roommates parents and bought my own . . . Well, the
rest is history . . .
