Thanks for the idea - hadn't thought of dipping pork rinds in almond butter.  

I love strawberries in cashew butter. LOL The cashew butter has just enough sweetness to cut the tartness of the strawberries.🙋🏻 

You'd probably LOVE my Almond Butter Coconut Bites, Jackie! 

Debbie. Yes, definitely. I was able to get it off your posts. Need Whey Protein Powder and coconut flakes. Got to see if my digestive can take coconut first. Can't take coconut powder. 

Jackie, how much sugar does that almond butter have? I noticed that brand had an option for Hazelnut spread at the market today that was 1/2 the sugar of the ‘other’ brand. LOL by which I assumed they meant nutella, which makes it better, not great. 🤷🏻‍♀️You could probably mix your own with no sugar, sweetener, or a very small amount of honey or a cashew butter and almond butter mixture if it’s got sugar in it since cashews are naturally sweeter and the vanilla sweetens it up some too. I also use a touch of the Torani sugar free white chocolate syrup in some of my my butters that I mix Hershey’s Cocoa powder into since it has stevia in it. They say zero carbs, but most stevia has 1 carb in a full serving if you add enough so I go easy on it. Quite a few if the things that say zero calories or carbs really aren’t quite. They are just below 1 so they don’t have to list it. 😝Which stinks for people who actually care. Anyway, I didn’t see the mocha vanilla, but a chocolate vanilla sounds good. 🙋🏻 

Jackie, you can use shredded coconut, too. I just happened to get a BIG bag of the chips, and I pulse them in my food processor until they are pretty fine, so they will stich to the little balls better.
