Nut butter has the potential to satisfy cravings for a flavorful snack and all the while, serve as a healthy source of protein. While a number of extremely decadent, dessert-inspired nut butter spreads have been introduced over the past few years, Nutista collaborated with California's Stone Brewing on the 'Stone Tangerine Express IPA Nutbutter.'
The unconventional nut butter is described as one that's "evocative of a marmalade and nut butter blend," yet it is not strongly sweet. In terms of some of the ingredients that go into making the product, Nutista included enriched a base of blanched almonds and dry-roasted peanuts with tangerine, pineapple, as well as dry malt extract, brewer's yeast and Himalayan sea salt. Naturally, Nutista also recommends enjoying the Stone Tangerine Express IPA Nutbutter with the Stone Tangerine Express IPA that inspired it.
