Great Summer Recipes
Orange Creamsicle Smoothie in tall glass cups with a white and blue straw with oranges in the background

I’m not lying when I say that I enjoy this Orange Creamsicle Smoothie every morning. It’s packed full of essential vitamins and nutrients and combines the great flavors of fresh ginger, citrus, honey, and cinnamon. It’s so tasty that I sometimes even make myself a second batch!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie in clear cups with white and gray striped straws on a white background

I would say something like “Enjoy the taste of childhood PB&J with this Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie,” but that would imply that adults don’t eat PB&J sandwiches. That is not true at all for this adult. If you love Peanut Butter & Jelly just as much as me, then you will like this smoothie.

Nutty Falafel sitting in bed of vegetables in a white bowl

If you’ve ever wondered what I do when I’m not blending my delicious nut butters together, here’s the answer— I’m busy blending my nut butters with other foods to create delicious recipes! This Nutty Falafel is perfect for lunch or dinner, it’s simple and most importantly, tasty. The addition of JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter is nutty in the best way.

 

Nut Butter Cup Dipped Pretzels on a black cooling tray on white parchment on a black tray on a white background

Pretzel rhymes with wrestle, as in, “I’ll wrestle you for one of these Nut Butter Cup Dipped Pretzels”. That’s what my daughter said to me last time I made a batch of these. I’ve combined the saltiness of pretzels with the sweetness of my famous nut butter cups and voila! I present to you one of the greatest snacks ever invented.

Hotteok is a sweet, yeasty Korean pancake typically filled with cinnamon sugar and serves as a popular street snack. I took this as inspiration to stuff a yeasted dough with, you guessed it, Maple Almond Butter.
