Smooth Almond Butter Snack Packs, 0.6 Ounce (Pack of 24)

Update, August 2012: They've improved both the packaging and the contents since my last review. I don't notice the "grittiness" much at all, nor does it taste over-toasted, as I'd mentioned in my prior review. The packaging has an updated design and all the packets have a proper tearing point. Definitely recommended! Bumping this from 4 to 5 stars. ------- These are higher protein, lower sugar, and cheaper than energy bars, and even more portable. They're a great way to stave off hunger, gluten-free. I keep one or two in my bag along with a Larabar or two, but this is the healthier & more economical option. The taste is a little "overcooked" to my taste - a deeply roasted flavor - so it may not appeal to all kids, but I'm sure many kids would like it. It's great to squeeze onto an apple as you eat it, or just eat it out of the packet. It does require some kneading before you open the packet - just squish it back and forth for a minute - because it separates like any natural nut butter would. There is a tiny bit of grittiness to the texture, but not really noticeable if you mix it up first. I'd rather have a little grittiness than a ton of shortening added to make it smooth. The other catch is not all the packets are notched properly, making them near impossible to open without scissors. There is a simple solution - I just take scissors and go through each new box, making a tiny nick on any packet where the cut doesn't go through both layers. It only takes a minute to do the whole box, and then they're all ready to go.

I love these! I always go for Barney Butter due to my peanut allergy, so these make traveling with food very easy without having to measure it out.

These little almond butter packets are a sweet little snack. The macros can’t be beat and they are super portable.

These almond butter snack packs are a lifesaver for on-the-go snacking. The flavor is smooth, lightly sweet, and feels healthier than most alternatives, but there are a few drawbacks that keep it from being perfect. 🔹 Delicious & Clean Ingredients Made with skin-free almonds, these packs are creamy, non-GMO, gluten-free, and suitable for keto, paleo, and vegan diets (page 1). Each pouch has 90 calories and 3g of protein, which makes it a great quick snack (nutrition info on page 1). 🔹 Great for Travel & Portion Control The small pouches are perfect to toss in a bag, lunchbox, or desk drawer. The packaging keeps everything neat and portable, making them especially convenient for work, school, or travel (page 2). ✅ Pros: Smooth, great-tasting almond butter Portable and easy-to-use pouches Clean label: Non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan Good portion control for snacking ❌ Cons: Can be a little pricey per pouch Butter sometimes separates, requiring kneading before use (page 6) Pack size may feel small if you’re really hungry Overall: A high-quality and delicious almond butter option that’s perfect for healthy snacking. While a bit on the expensive side, the convenience and clean ingredients make it a great buy for anyone looking for on-the-go nutrition.

I appreciate this product because it's easy to carry, full of good nutrition, and light on calories. These are great on the go. I use them when I'm out hiking, or at work with no time to eat, or just out power shopping. I have diabetes and these have a great protein-to-carb ratio and can be working into any "zone" type diets, or even progressive stages or Atkins. They taste good, they have just enough salt to keep the flavor from being bland. Tip: Almond butter naturally separates, so you need to mix this inside the tube before you open it. I often rip the top off and just squeeze the butter right into my mouth. If you eat it this way and you don't squish it up before you open it, you'll get a mouth full of almond oil. Which isn't the worst thing, but it's not very tasty... and, if not mixed, the rest of the butter will be dry and hard to get out of the tube. It's very easy to work it around with your fingers a few times before you open it. And, if you store them on their side, instead of standing up, it makes the "mixing" much easier. I have this stuff on auto order, which makes it really a bargain and and excellent price per tube. We go through a delivery about once every two-three months. This is a great product that I was glad to have found on amazon.

I’ve had almond butter before but this one is exceptionally delicious! There seems to be minimal separation of the oil in the nut butter which is very nice because that is bad enough when you have a jar. In a packet it would be so much worse. I was glad there is none of that here! The texture is pleasantly thicker than peanut butter typically is. Overall I think it is a good quality product and an excellent value for the price. Next time I might try the jar, but I won’t choose those other brands again!

I love these Barney Butter Almond Butter Snack Packs. The portion sizes make them super convenient, and the almond butter is smooth and creamy—once you massage the packs. You really have to work the packet for a good minute to get the almond butter creamy, as it tends to harden from separation. I do wish it was a little saltier and that they offered a crunchy version. Overall, still a great healthy pre-portioned snack option.
