It’s official: Thrive Market is taking over your pantry in the best possible way. We now offer a variety of wholesome baking ingredients and nutritious grains. It’s the perfect collection for all dietary needs and healthy cravings. Make room in your cupboards and let’s get cooking!
<p>
<p>
<b>ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS? </b>
The new Thrive Market flours and grains are all organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, and contain no added sugars, sweeteners, dyes, or color additives. 
<p>
<b>WHAT IS SPROUTING? </b>
A regular grain is essentially a seed that you could put into the ground and it will become a plant. Sprouting allows these grain seeds to germinate, but then harvests them well before they bloom. In order for a shoot to grow, it digests starch from the seed, using it as energy to break through the outer shell. Therefore sprouted grains are lower in starch, and higher in nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
<p>
<b>WHAT MAKES THRIVE MARKET PRODUCTS UNIQUE? </b>
The concept of sprouting is not a new one, but what is new is access and affordability. A lot of sprouted products are hard to find or too expensive to use regularly, until now. It’s the Thrive Market way: We offer high quality at a low, low price.
<P>
<b>HOW DO I USE THEM?</b>
This collection of baking essentials, sides, and snacks are incredibly versatile. Many of the flours are great for baking breads and sweets, coating fish and or poultry, or thickening soups and gravies. For example, garbanzo bean flour is a good base for savory items, like gluten-free pizza crust or pasta, spelt flour makes perfect pancakes or waffles. And of course, brown rice and quinoa are mealtime favorites— either as a side, or mixed with meat or veggies for the main. Read the back of each package to find new uses and recipes on how to make them.

Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups - Thrive Market

<p>The Justin’s Nut Butter brand does everything they can to bring their customers the best-tasting nut butters around. Their products range from Justin’s Classic Peanut Butter to more adventurous (and insanely delicious) offerings like Justin’s Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, leaving out mystery additives and excess sugars. Whether used in favorite recipes, spread on a slice of freshly baked bread, or eaten straight from the jar, it’s easy to love the lineup that Justin’s Nut Butter has to offer.</p>

<h2>The story behind Justin’s Nut Butter</h2>

<p>Justin’s Nut Butter started with a man named Justin and one truly powerful idea. Combined with his immense ambition and a simple food processor, he took his affinity for local and natural ingredients to make something he could share with his community.</p><br>

<p><a href="https://www.justins.com/justins-story/" target="_blank">Justin was inspired to make nut butters</a> due to his vegetarian diet and active lifestyle. Nut butter was a staple in his diet (<a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/beginners-guide-meat-free-protein" target="_blank">it’s an amazing source of protein</a>), but the products he was able to find on store shelves didn’t offer much variety. He started experimenting in the kitchen and filling his cabinet with a variety of nut butters he made—which his roommates would proceed to snack on—so he started writing his name on all of the jars, and that is where the story really begins…</p><br>

<p>Justin’s family encouraged him to sell his tasty Nut Butters at the Boulder Farmers’ Market in Colorado. With the help of mentors and extensive research at Colorado University’s Leeds School of Business, he was able to develop his first business plan. At this time, his company was still very much a one-man operation. He would work a full-time job and fit in time on nights and weekends where he would use a salsa company’s kitchen to make larger quantities of the nut butters since they had an FDA compliant facility.</p><br>

<p>Justin’s became known for its innovative flavors, like Heavenly Honey Peanut Butter, Sinfully Cinnamon Peanut Butter, Honey Almond Butter and Pumpkin Pie Peanut Butter. A one-of-a-kind taste and texture made Justin’s Nut Butters a smashing success in Boulder, which then gave Justin the leverage to sell his products in stores locally and then worldwide.</p>

<h2>The nutrition behind Justin’s Nut Butter</h2>

<p>The nutrition of every one of Justin’s Nut Butter products will vary, but the products all have one thing in common: mouthwatering, nutty taste from peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, or other nuts. And while the flavor might feel indulgent, nut butter is actually good for you and can offer ample health benefits.</p><br>

<p>First, nuts are known for their high fat content—the good kind, that is. Peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts all contain monounsaturated fats (or MUFAs) that have been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease. Other healthy sources of MUFAs include <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/avocado-oil-vs-olive-oil" target="_blank">avocados oil, olive oil,</a> and other nuts, which are also vibrant additions to a diet. In fact, for optimal health it’s suggested that adults should strive to consume 25 percent of the daily calories from monounsaturated fats.</p><br>

<p>Aside from being a healthy fat, nuts also have a high protein content, clocking in at more than one egg. Protein acts as a building block for the body, making up many parts like the hair, nails, bones, muscles, cartilage, blood, and skin. It’s also a big player in helping the body heal from injuries, maintaining good bone health, increasing strength and muscle mass, and lowering blood pressure.</p><br>

<p>Additionally, protein has the added benefit of acting as a <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/natural-appetite-suppressants" target="_blank">natural appetite suppressant</a> because of its high satiating power. It’s possible to fill up for longer by enjoying snacks with some of Justin’s Nut Butter products—rather than reaching for potato chips or sugary chocolates that tend to leave people feeling hungry shortly afterwards. Furthermore, because protein provides energy, it puts the body to work. With its high thermic effect, the body actually ends up burning more calories as it’s digested.</p><br>

<p>It’s also important to know that Justin’s line of products is made with organic nuts, and they don’t add in any unknown or unpronounceable ingredients. Believe it or not, some other peanut butters on the market only contain <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/almond-butter-vs-peanut-butter" target="_blank">60% peanuts</a>. But with Justin’s Nut Butter, that means no harmful pesticides, artificial ingredients, or extra sugars—just wholesome flavors from natural sources.</p>

<h2>Products from Justin’s Nut Butter</h2><br>

<h3><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/justins-peanut-butter-cups-milk-chocolate-mini" target="_blank">Justin’s Mini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups</a></h3>
<p>If you’re craving the classic candy, then try this updated and more wholesome version.</p>

<h3><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/justins-maple-almond-butter-squeeze-packs" target="_blank">Justin’s Maple Almond Butter Squeeze Pack</a></h3>
<p>This option is perfect for on-the-go snacking, and the maple flavor is a great addition to naturally sweeten the taste.</p>

<h2>Recipes to try with Justin’s Nut Butter</h2><br>

<h3><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/raw-carrot-pad-thai-recipe" target="_blank">Raw Carrot Pad Thai</a></h3>
<p>There’s no need to order in or head out to a restaurant again; instead, try this light and healthy version of the traditional pad thai dish. Rather than rice noodles, carrots do a great job of mimicking the color and texture, while a creamy almond butter sauce adds in some Southeast Asian flavors with chili, ginger, and garlic.</p>

<h3><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/this-energizing-chocolate-pear-smoothie-is-the-perfect-way-to-start-the-day" target="_blank">Chocolate-Pear Smoothie</a></h3>
<p>That’s right, mixing in some almond butter or peanut butter create an unbelievably rich smoothie. When you’re craving a premium dessert but don’t want the guilt, use this classic combination of chocolate and pears. It’s sure to give an energy boost, and the fiber-rich chia seeds contribute even to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.</p>

<h3><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/11-creative-ways-to-make-paleo-friendly-fudge" target="_blank">Paleo Fudge</a></h3>
<p>The best part about this recipe is that it only requires five ingredients. Honey and vanilla extract make it fragrant and fresh, while the almond butter tastes amazing with the chocolate fudge flavors. A great project to make with the kids or to give as a gift.</p>

Aside from being a healthy fat, nuts also have a high protein content, clocking in at more than one egg. Protein acts as a building block for the body, making up many parts like the hair, nails, bones, muscles, cartilage, blood, and skin. It’s also a big player in helping the body heal from injuries, maintaining good bone health, increasing strength and muscle mass, and lowering blood pressure.

Additionally, protein has the added benefit of acting as a natural appetite suppressant because of its high satiating power. It’s possible to fill up for longer by enjoying snacks with some of Justin’s Nut Butter products—rather than reaching for potato chips or sugary chocolates that tend to leave people feeling hungry shortly afterwards. Furthermore, because protein provides energy, it puts the body to work. With its high thermic effect, the body actually ends up burning more calories as it’s digested.

It’s also important to know that Justin’s line of products is made with organic nuts, and they don’t add in any unknown or unpronounceable ingredients. Believe it or not, some other peanut butters on the market only contain 60% peanuts. But with Justin’s Nut Butter, that means no harmful pesticides, artificial ingredients, or extra sugars—just wholesome flavors from natural sources.
