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.
