Ever crave that spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter as like, the perfect snack? You’re not alone, but you’re gonna love Nuttzo seven times more. Nuttzo Original 7 Nut and Seed Butter contains — you guessed it — seven nutrient-rich nuts and seeds including peanuts, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds and flax seeds. In addition to the amazing flavor without any added sugar, here are the other reasons we’re seriously mad for the stuff.

Legumes + Nuts and Seeds = A Complete Protein (a.k.a. contains all of the amino acids)
Provides 50% of your daily value of A-LA Omega-3 fatty acids per serving (650 mg).
One jar of the stuff has fourteen servings, which financially means you’re spending less than a buck per serving on some organic — and seriously nutritious — stuff.
In addition to the Nuttzo Original 7 Nut and Seed Butter, there is a No-Peanut version for those with allergies, and a Chocolate Flavor. [Ed. note: Yum.] Next up? Creamy Nuttzo for those with a preference for smooth texture. Although my editor and I are both partial to chunky-style, we know some people who are particularly stoked.

Turns out, though, Nuttzo wasn’t made for peanut butter addicts seeking an alternative. (Crazy, right?) Meet founder Danielle Dietz-LiVolsi, who after adopting a Ukranian child that was both malnourished and vitamin deficient, discovered that her son would only eat her homemade nut butters. After spending an exorbitant amount of time in the kitchen, her husband asked her one day why she didn’t just go out and buy the darn stuff. Her response? “I can’t! They don’t make this.” And here we are with Nuttzo.

To this day, Dietz-LiVolsi helps orphans through Project Left Behind; one percent of Nuttzo sales go directly to charity as well. What’s better than feel-good nut butter and a fuzzy, warm story behind it? We say nothing.
