The adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is one axiom Jessica Weiswasser, the founder of Denver-based Kolát Superfood, disregarded when rethinking peanut butter. As a certified nutritionist, Weiswasser is keenly aware of how difficult it is to get the daily recommended amount of, well, everything. So she took almond butters (some blends also contain walnuts and hazelnuts) and packed them full of fruit and antioxidant-rich spices. The healthy spreads, which come in not-too-sweet flavors such as blueberry cinnamon walnut and cherry vanilla almond, are just the thing for those late-afternoon cravings. Pick up a jar at Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods Market, Natural Grocers, and select King Soopers. Bonus: Kolát’s butters are dairy- and gluten-free and contain no added sugar.
