My next heartbreak is going to result in me eating my body's weight in Cookie Butter.. 

There’s Almond Butter and then there is Chunky Almond Butter. There is Peanut Butter and then there is Chunky Peanut Butter. There is Cookie Butter and NOW there is (…drum roll please…) Crunchy Cookie Butter. I think we can all agree that once a 2nd version of a product is created it pretty much solidifies it into Foodie Hall of Fame and your pantry. 

Suggestions for how to enjoy Crunchy Cookie Butter include:

Simple: On a spoon

Wild: On a piece of toast

Adventurous: On someone else’s spoon
Extreme: In a smoothie

Nutrition facts for Trader Joe's Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter. 

Since I like to be extreme, I think I will try this smoothie recipe from Girl Gone Veggie: 

{If you are looking for a good blender, I really like the Hamilton Beach Personal Blender. It's compact, single serving, and easy to take on the go. You can find it here.}

Cookie Butter Smoothie

½ cup old fashioned oatmeal

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 tablespoon cookie butter

1 cup Silk PureAlmond Unsweetened Vanilla

1 banana, sliced

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Handful of ice cubes

This could not be a more simple recipe. Put all ingredients in the blender (if you’re using a really powerful blender the order really doesn’t matter) and mix until smooth. Pour and drink!
