Hello lovelies and happy Friday! Can I just say how happy I am that it’s the weekend?
Even though I have TONS of things to do and will most likely be cooped up inside studying and what not, at least I don’t have to worry about going to class. Score.
I thought I would bring back Friday Favorites and show you guys personal things that I have picked up lately that I am loving.
First up, tea.
I am definitely more of a coffee addict drinker, but sometimes I do crave a little tea after a meal or when I’m cold. I realized that I love fruity tea, and these are amazing!
I’ve tried all of them so far except the black cheery and I love them all. I think the Country Peach Passion is my favorite though.
*Please excuse my horrifying nails*
I have always used vanilla extract but never really got anything else. I decided to try the almond and I absolutely love it. It gives everything a different but nice nutty flavor.
Sometimes I need a bar in a crunch. Whether my homemade protein bars have run out, or I just didn’t have time to make them, I need a quick snack for in between classes.
I love think thin bars, with no sugar and pretty good ingredients. I mean, it could be better, but over all they have pretty good stats.
This espresso flavor is awesome, but the white chocolate and peanut butter are TO DIE for.
So, remember when I said I wasn’t a fan of Sunbutter?
Well, for some reason I picked it up at the store again. After getting it for the second time, I kind of liked it the more I ate it. But, I still didn’t like it enough to buy it again.
I wanted almond butter, but for some reason this was staring me in the face. So I got it. And now I can say I like it. I have joined the sunbutter club. It’s definitely still not my favorite, but I like to have a variety other than just peanut butter : )

)

What a fun list! I recently discovered almond extract as well and am kind of obsessed. Almond flavor is always amazing. As for nut butter, I love almond most and my favorite ever was the kind I made at home…maple cinnamon flavored!(recipe on my blog if you are interested!)
Ericka @ The Sweet Life recently posted..Six Things Friday
I definitely think my favorite nut butter is plain ole peanut butter
. What can I say…I’m boring haha. I prefer coffee sooooo much more than tea. I love my coffee! I hope your studying goes well this weekend!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..Fitness Loves of the Week #12
I like coffee wayyyyyyy more, but tea is okay occasionally
I have that same sampler and the blueberry flavor is my favorite! Good luck with the studying this weekend!

I am currently loving the earth balance crunchy peanut butter but what is even better is the crunchy almond butter by kettle foods!!! the only issue with it is that the jar is too small. I love coffee and have to have it every morning and in the evening I love chai tea or just regular lipton!!

Enjoy the weekend; I know I will! My fav nut butter is TJ’s salted, natural, crunchy peanut butter. When I first tried natural pb I hated it, but now I love it. As for tea vs coffee – I usually prefer coffee, but since the coffee at my office is awful, I drink tea M-F.
Tiff recently posted..Five for Friday
I neeed to try TJ’s!!! Florida needs one, asap.
I have some almond extract at home too.. thanks for reminding me to use it!
I tried my first Think Thin bar a few days ago and LOVED it!!!

Woo soo glad you loved it!!!
i’m definitely more of a coffee drinker, but i love tea every once in awhile! that fruit tea sampler sounds so good!
my favorite brand is adam’s all natural crunchy. sunflower butter definitely grew on me, and now it’s probably my second favorite nut butter.
you know my all time favorite nut butter… peanut butter obviously.

I’ve never heard of Adam’s! I’ll keep an eye out for it
you know I like tea much better than coffee
I have been looking at almond extract! What have you been adding it to? I think you just inspired me to get some
Happy Friday! Good luck studying my darling

Basically anything you would add vanilla to 
I recently tried some of that sunbutter and I didn’t think I was going to like it but turns out it was actually pretty good!
Tayla recently posted...waiw number eight and growing up.
Yay!
I love lemon extract for lemon poppyseed muffins and bars! So fresh and zingy! And I am a big sunbutter lover!!!! My favorite brand is Maranatha and it is to die for! I like sunbutter even better than pb I think! But its a close race!
Kaila@HealthyHelper recently posted..Wimpy WIAW {giveaway winner}
Yum, sounds delicious! I will definitely have to try maranatha
Ok I see SunButter on sooo many blogs- what are the health benefits of it compared to a natural peanut or almond butter? I’m a stickler when it comes to added sugars and oils in that kind of stuff! I love the creamy natural peanut butter by Kirkland the best!
Carrie @ Lift Eat Repeat recently posted..Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread
It’s basically similar to both of those. It’s just a healthy alternative mostly if you are allergic to any type of nuts.
I’m a sucker for almond butter, but I recently bought Barney Butter pb and I’m hooked. It’s really creamy and a little runnier than normal pb which is awesome for drizzling on things – apple slices, oatmeal, you name it! Also the “50 signs you’re a fitness buff” made me laugh out loud at work today. Happy weekend!
Sarah @Blonde Bostonian recently posted..Ignoring My Body
Barney butter is the BEST!! It’s soo expensive though, I can’t justify paying $10 for a tiny jar lol
love that tea sampler, I’m usually a tea drinker but I started drinking coffee in the last months and I’m hooked, although I haven’t had it all week…my current fav nut butter is good ol PB…i really need to stay away from it! loving your blog found it through another blog, look forward to reading more
btw what do you put almond extract in?
I would die without coffee all week, haha! Aw thank you, Anna! I’m so glad you found me, can’t wait to check out your blog
I’ve put it in protein pancakes, protein bars, smoothies, etc.
I absolutely love coffee. Its be obsession. I also drink tea most days too though, I’m always so cold after I eat haha. I actually really dislike almond extract. I’m weird. I think it smells like cherries and I just had artificial cherry flavouring so much, so I can’t use it at all. And I’ve never had sunbutter, I hear lots of people love it though. Just don’t want to waste my money on it in case I hate it! Good luck with all your studying this weekend!!xo

Coffee is my obsession too, and I love that you love it ;D I actually didn’t like sunbutter the first time, but it grew on me!
I’ve been way into tea lately too!!! I usually have coffee to give me a little burst of energy, but for some reason cold iced tea has been hitting the spot! ha
Jentry Nielsen recently posted..Teach Me Thursday: Pool Time
I always have my coffee in the morning, and usually tea in the afternoon. I should ice it, yum!
Country Peach is my fave too. I love that sampler box. The red zinger is good, too.
Have you tried Sunland’s chocolate nut butter. YUM!
Christine @ Oatmeal Bowl recently posted..I think I might like running
Nope, but I think I may have to now
I don’t like coffee, but tea and I are besties and that fruit sampler is always in my cabinet
Jen@FoodFamilyFitness recently posted..A Whole New World
I can’t believe you don’t like coffee!
Yay I’m glad you’re a sunflower seed butter convert! I love that stuff! Have you ever tried using it in a savoury recipe, like as a stir fry sauce? That’s my favourite way to use it!
My I.M. Healthy soy nut butter will always have the #1 place in my heart though.

No, I haven’t but I thought about it! You just inspired me to do so ;D
All time fav is Earth Balance peanut butter. Love it!
I didn’t like sunbutter at first but liked it after a few times as well! It grew on me!
Matt @ The Athlete’s Plate recently posted..Dinner Last Night…
I want to try Earth Balance!
Wheee! I’m so glad you jumped on the sunbutter train. I’m a HUGE fan. It’s my favorite out of the nut/seed butter families. I like coffee better than tea but I do LOVE rooibos tea.
Heather @ For the Love of Kale recently posted..New Vlog: How to Make Chocolate Protein Pudding Oats!
I’m glad I like it now too!
I’ve never had rooibos, do you get it at starbucks or something?
I loveee think thin bars! I think they are great all around! I love coffee AND tea, but I drink coffee more. I used to drink tea errryday, but fell off that wagon. Awesome combo pack! I am boring and love the grind yourself PB at the local health store.
Brittany recently posted..Re-creations
I don’t think I’ve ever done the grind your own pb! I neeed to
I’ve had the same experience with Sunbutter! Whenever I buy it, I have high hopes, but I find that when I’m eating it, all I’m thinking about is how I wish I was eating peanut butter instead! Maybe it’s time to give it another shot though. You can’t beat the fiber content, that’s for sure! :-p
And on that note, my favorite peanut butter is Whole Foods 365. I think I’ve tried every PB on the market, and this one is still the best (and cheapest). Win-win!
I love adding almond extract to almond milk.:) I usually stick with vanilla, but sometimes I buy coconut for a fun twist.
Hope you’re having a FAB weekend, girl! xoxo
