Health Review: Keen Triple Nut Butter

I absolutely love peanut butter but it isn’t paleo friendly and, trying to eat a paleo diet as much as I can, I can’t help but miss it. I’ve tried other nut butters but find they are really dense in texture and far too thick when trying to cook with. So when the lovely people at Keen Nutrition offered to send me some of theirs to try I was hoping they could answer my prayers for a smoother and lighter nut butter.

I tried the triple nut version which contains almonds, roasted hazelnuts and roasted cashews. That’s it. No nasties, no additives and no random oils. This makes them not only paleo friendly but also dairy free, gluten free, sugar free and suitable for vegan diets. Now I was dubious. The nut butters I have tried with added oils are thick and difficult to work with, how on Earth would one with no added oil work out?

I think this picture speaks volumes in terms of consistency, this nut butter is lovely and runny making it the perfect butter to use in making recipes. The taste is also great with the roasted flavours coming through stopping it being too dry on the palate like other almond based butters.

Keen was founded by Aimee Beimers who used to be a nutrition consultant. Her passion for the clean eating lifestyle saw Keen born and the products are now handmade in a little factory in Bangor, Co. Down. They do other flavours including almond cinnamon and almond vanilla pod – both of which I can’t wait to add to my collection.

You can get your jar for just £3.50 online. Considering the price of commercial nut butters in the supermarket this is a steal and I’ll be investing in the other flavours come payday.
