A healthy alternative
Most people today understand that in order to be truly fit, it takes balance and a dedication to both exercise and eating healthy. It can be challenging, however, to find a variety of great tasting products that can enhance your energy and exercise performance. Wouldn’t it be great to find a health food product that could easily travel with you on long bike rides, runs, walks, hikes or even long days at the office?
Healthy eaters are just starting to see how SunButter® sunflower seed spread can enhance their diet in a tasty and nutritious way. SunButter originated as an alternative to peanut butter specifically created for the over 3 million people who suffer from nut allergies. In the past few years, the product has become more and more popular with an even broader audience. SunButter consumers now have expanded beyond nut-allergy sufferers to include health conscious eaters and children under the age of 2 as more and more doctors are recommending not eating peanut butter until children are older.
High-protein diets continue to gain popularity. Protein is one of the many reasons people who are fitness-focused enjoy SunButter. SunButter boasts seven grams of protein per serving. This is identical to most peanut butters. Incorporating high protein foods into one’s diet can help keep dieters feeling full while supporting lean muscle tissue and burning fat. SunButter’s fat and calories are very similar to peanut butter. However, it’s important to note that SunButter has 1/3 less saturated fat, double the fiber and more iron then most peanut butter.
SunButter “on-the-go” snack packs are a convenient way to get a quick, healthy energy boost. This easy to transport snack is great to eat right out of the package, on fruit, bread, crackers or vegetables. As with other SunButter products, the snack-packs are peanut-free, gluten-free and tree-nut free. Here’s what Phil Lempert from Supermarket Guru had to say in May 2010, “This product is a hit! Think flavor, think convenience, think satisfaction. This sunflower seed spread comes in these convenient squeeze packs that could be a perfect snack, or even to make lunch at the office. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E and are so rich in nutrients they are the highest of any nut or seed.”
SunButter is currently sold in over 10,000 retail stores in the United States and Canada. If you cannot find it in the peanut butter section, look in the natural or specialty section. It also can be purchased online. Get detailed nutrition facts and much more at SunButter .com or 877-873-4501.
